I upgraded the car to all L1 upgrades at the end of the first day, and found out that the L2 upgrades were all for gold, so I tried to win without them. In the first race of day 3, I couldn't get past the first race (the endurance run). Going flat out, I can reliably get to 6.8 miles when time runs out, and the first place was always 7+ miles. The exception was when the car was degraded, when the top spot dropped to 6.4 miles, but I could only get to about 4 or so.

This went on all day yesterday. I ran several times, but the top spot was always out of reach.

Finally, I paid the gold for the L2 drivetrain upgrade. THE VERY NEXT RACE, the top spot was 2.2 miles.

@#$%^&!!!
