Amrosa, the rec'd PR for Day 7 is 91.6; all 3s gives you PR 91.1. That's hardly a difference between pass and fail, which is perhaps why it's marked in yellow (and not red).

I think you're misreading Matt's comment. What he's saying is that a "skilled player" (i.e. not necessarily a top player) should be able to pass the entire SE at slightly below rec'd PR with some effort. In addition, he makes it abundantly clear that FM treat SEs as an incentive. With that in mind, it's hard *not* to see the weird difficulty tuning in the latter stages of virtually every relatively recent SE as an error or clumsy attempt to push players into spending more. Obviously, player perceptions will differ because each of us has his/her style, preferences, and skills. But it is troubling that even highly skilled players think these events are uneven, poorly balanced.

Fwiw, I'm currently stuck at 7.2 with all 3s, over 3h of it, and I distinclty remember the last time I was so angry at the game. It was in the penultimate stage of Motorfiesta 2.
