These are my observations.
 * For an average player (I am including myself), you will likely need to upgrade to recommended PR.
 * Recommended PR tends to be about all 3's plus one of the categories being upgraded to +5
 * In the case of the C11 I found joy with 3334324 PR85.3, slightly above the 84.9
 * I spent 4 or 5 hours on Goal 8.1 at 3332324. I was trying to save the 95 for Suspension 3, and it was the weekend.
 * At first I couldn't get near the 6th place car.
 * After several hours of restarts and restores, I was able to get to 3rd place, but it simply wasn't enough. Partly the bots got slower, partly I got better, but neither was enough for me.
 * After sleep and upgrading the Suspension I did one more cycle of starts and a cloud restore and I got passed... I think the rest wasn't too difficult after that.
 * You have to balance out your upgrades.
 * If you try to skimp on handling upgrades and apply more power upgrades your car will be $#!+.
 * I did this with the Gen 2 Formula E, and after doing the engine upgrade, I was never able to better my time trial times set with lesser engine upgrades.
 * Upgrade handling before speed.
 * I used to do this, but as I got better with car control I didn't need to, but I am seeing that recent cars get out of balance if you upgrade power before handling.
 * It is easier to upgrade early in the event. It gives you time to get used to the car's handling, acceleration, and brake points. Even when you move to a different track, you can better judge how to get around the track quicker.
 * Budget for All +3 upgrades and then look to upgrade one more category, usually Engine or Body to +5.
 * Do the upgrades to +3 the first day of the event, even if it means a lot of ads to speed upgrades, then try to get through the whole event. If you need to do that final set of upgrades.

The problem with all of this is who
