Finally DONE after being stuck on 8.4 at all 3s, I upgraded to 5533333 for an additional 260 Gold and passed it at PR 93.3, 25/28, 604 Gold spent, 110 earned from the event = 494 GC net loss for a heavily upgraded car.

8.4 was the toughest nut to crack, the key being you should 1) not even skid a single time (not even talking about the game registering it as a skid btw, just you "hearing" it is enough to know you are losing dozens of milliseconds), 2) turn brake assist off while halfway through a chicane, allowing you to exit it without auto-braking for a hair's breadth of a second (enough to lose more dozens of milliseconds).

Day 9 Suzuka did not require me to slap on any additional upgrades, although I was ready for 5543333, as that would be required for 100% Essential Pagani anyway, giving me back 30 Gold for that 100 GC Body upgrade 4, which btw is the same amount of Gold needed to skip 1 event on Day 9, soo...

Still, managed with 5533333, 9.2 was arguably the toughest, 9.4 took me a few tries to not skid (but you can easily achieve avg speed midway through lap 2) and I was probably lucky in 9.3 and got that in the first go, just make sure to not crack your windshield passing all the bots or it will slow you down because the top 3 are pretty fast compared to the rest.

If I hadn't upgraded, and remained on all 3s, I would have had to skip 8.4, 9.2, and most probably 9.4 as well, potentially even 9.3 since additional upgrades also slow down Elimination bots considerably. That would have meant 80 + 100 + 100 + 100 skip cost, which is ridiculous (380). Even if 1 skip less on Day 9 and it still wouldn't have been worth it. Truth be told, skipping is NEVER worth it since I can now reap the rewards of 100% Essentiall Pagani and WTTT. Good luck to all still fighting.
