Finished last night; took about 6-7 hours with R$ upgrades only. Kind of a fun event. First 5 stages are really easy, and stay easy if you just win by small margins. 6.5 was the first more difficult event (do 3 donuts, then win) and had to apply all level 1 upgrades in order to beat it. Stage 7 again easy, and then the fun starts in stage 8;

8.1: let the pack leave, did the 20 skids first to get them out of the way, then drive slowly to the finish (have to hold 20th position).

8.3: took many, many tries (30-40) but with brakes high it just takes persistence and luck. At the start make a hard right to block #20, then hard left to block  #21, then keep on holding them off until the first chicane. As ME7 mentions in the Tips don't stay in the middle but stay to the right, then when you curve left move to the left. Then proceed to tailgate #18, and hope no bots crash out in front of you which is just luck. If they do, chances are you'll have to restart and try again.

8.4: use high brakes, like in 8.3

8.6: trick is to get to 1st as fast as possible; then block the field in the chicanes. Once you get to Ascari let them go, cross the finish line as 22nd, then overtake the bunch in the next 3 laps. Not too hard if you do the blocking in lap 1

Stage 9: the issue with events 9.1 through 9.5 isn't so much the goals as the carnage the bots in front of you create, making it hard to figure out what position you're actually in (bots constantly crash out). Once you reach Ascari you should get to your required position and hold it.

9.6 took a few tries, and some bot management. The event interprets "no off-track" quite liberally, so you can pretty much cut the first chicane. Problem comes in when you get to the backmarkers after 6 laps which are pretty aggressive in blocking and throwing you off-track. Hence some bot management (start race, quit, continue, start race, etc). to lower the AI and build up a nicce lead in the first 5 laps might be helpful.

Tilt B, SA low, BA and TC off (except 8.3 & 8.4). On to Racing Spirit.
