Personally,  I consider myself above average, but not stellar.

I struggle with driving without assists on many tracks, just largely due to not practicing it enough, despite years of playing experience. Memorizing the braking points for each track and each car just hasn't been high on my priority list I guess.

I'm routinely a Rank D or E in the WTTT (top 20-30%), but that's a combination of using assists as well as not usually having a ton of upgrades on top-tier cars. I feel like I race pretty well considering, but I could make some large strides with some additional effort for sure.

That said, for The Elusive One SE, I won the One-77 with 3333333, but I feel like I could have completed the event with fewer upgrades as well. There were just some races I preferred to just get through, rather than spend an hour or so getting just right and completing with fewer upgrades. However, with the upgrade tree of the One-77 (and mirrored by this Vantage AMR Pro), it sort of leads one to upgrade more. Since each GC upgrade is followed by an R$ upgrade, you get essentially double upgrades (provided you have enough R$, I guess). There's little reason not to go ahead and kick off the follow-up R$ upgrade after you bought the GC upgrade.

So, I guess its really a matter of how good a driver you consider yourself. As stated, many players were able to complete The Elusive One SE with 3333333 upgrades, but there were certainly some who still had trouble at that level. Also, there were of course others who completed it with fewer upgrades as well. I think 3333333 was a pretty average figure though. I'm expecting the same for this event and car.
