Day 5: 1 R$ upgrade only on everything. PR 47.9. Tilt B, no assists but that changed!

5.1 - failed to complete this about 10 times. Mostly due to being tapped or slipping out and I could never catch the leaders again. Not getting on great with this but then I changed tac. I turned on ALL ASSISTS FULL and that worked perfectly! Once I got to 28th I gently tapped the rear bumper of the next car from the side. This spun him out and the others behind me leaving a nice gap. I could then slow a bit to avoid the cars in front and cruise to the end without hassle.

5.2 onwards. Now with full assists the car was not weaving around as much and I could control it fine. Switching to chase view helped as I could see any cars approaching from behind. Keeping the racing line most of the other cars move out of the way to try to overtake - take their place each time and you move up the field.

5.6 posed the only extra challenge of finishing first. Once I got to 2nd place I tapped out the first place bot. This worked a treat but slowed me slightly. My PR isn't high either so other cars approached from behind (and can be seen in chase view). I ensured they were full bumper to bumper so they couldn't tap me off. The key to outrunning them was to not let them get a slipstream. On the back straight, move to the left hand side off the racing line. The bots don't do the same and the move out of your slip stream allowing you to escape a few yards each time.
