It's not the average speed events for me. I feel like I'm a pretty decent racer and I generally can handle those fairly decently. What always seem to get me (and many others it seems), are the Speed Snap/Speed record events where they place the goal at the very limit of what a top-tier player can achieve.

What was worse in this case was that myself (and also many others), had to upgrade well above the recommended PR in order to finally beat the goal. I have a large problem with that. What's the point of the Recommended PR if it's basically meaningless?

To make matters worse (for me), after I gave in and bought 2 additional GC upgrades on 5.1, I then beat it by .5mph on my 1st attempt after struggling for an hour or so and getting to 133.99mph once, but nowhere within .25mph otherwise. I find it really hard to believe that those 2 upgrades suddenly gave me the boost I needed. In any case, the remainder of the event was no trouble for me with the upgrades I had, just the pay to play 5.1.
