Naturally, a handful of attempts after I typed this, I managed to get a complete race in, and as I had suspected (and hoped), I did win!

I was finally able to catch up to Zoe after the chicane on the 3rd lap. I was ahead of her on the banked corner, so I drew her in and made sure to PIT her really well, and sent her flying back (she eventually finished in 5th, 7 seconds behind me). When Zoe dropped back, Demopoulous ended up in 2nd, but was about 400yds back. So, with Zoe out of the way and with some breathing room, I made sure I finished out the race cleanly and moved on to 8.6. Knowing 8.6 only requires a donut, I didn't bother servicing my car and I finished 8.6 in 15sec. Would have been quicker, but I forgot I had my steering assist set to high since it seemed to help me on 8.5, normally I have it on low. Well, donuts are a lot tougher with the steering assist on high lol. Turned it back to low and knocked out a quick donut to end it.

I ended up spending about 280GC to get this car, roughly 205GC in upgrades during the 25% off sale and another 75GC today to get me past 8.3. Not too bad for a 950GC car and I didn't have to resort to skipping any races either. I'd have preferred to make it through at PR 90.6, but I'm OK with where I ended up.

Now, probably about 24hrs of farming before the LTS starts I'm guessing....... Really getting tired of these constant special events (even if the LTS doesn't count as a special event).

Not sure how much longer I can keep up the farming necessary to obtain the endless added cars they have been throwing at this game lately. A 100% complete garage is so close, yet so far away.....
