Just finished Day 5 with R$ only. Events 5.1-3 were a cake walk so I did the best it management I could. The target for the speed record on event 3 was only 253.7mph which I reached before I even got to the braking zone at the Chase.

The speed snap at 5.4 was tough. I have not managed aggressively since day one and the target started at 257, but I was able to get it down to 255.15. It wouldn't go down any further, but after about 44 minutes of trying I finally got the perfect exit and got the green banner.

Usually I drive with BA low, SA low, TC off, but for 5.4 I turned the SA to high so I could make sure I got the perfect line nice and smooth. Then I noticed a touch more of the brakes than I wanted with BA low so I turned that off. The trick is making sure you are on the brakes early so you can get the right line, and then don't go for the apex too early so you have a nice flat exit to get on the gas early.

5.5 was a walk in the park. I had the lead by turn 3 and did so much blocking and bot management that I never had to worry about the temperature.
