I'm at challenge 42 and I've reached a dead end: 2-lap Cup at Indianapolis' Speedway. Difficulty is rated at "Medium", as my car is upgraded for the International Power-Match bonus series. -2 Engine, -1 Drivetrain, for a PR of 74.1, 223mph/359kph 2.64s, 82.0ft/24.9m and 1.49g. That's only down 3mph/5kph and 0.05s from Max PR. It's obviously the superior car to the 918 Spyder and that's only upgraded with R$, so there's no point considering it.

It would be a very manageable race, if it was for the special conditions: "Win this challenge with the steering pulling right and without skidding more than 3 times". I've tried everything in terms of Steering Assist and Sensitivity. Since my car doesn't actually break traction, it just ploughs into the wall, TC and Brake Assits offer no assistance. In fact, the steering becomes unmanageable in a corner at around 190mph, but won't start going left again until I've slowed down to 173mph. My best run was over 2 seconds slower than the leader, at his slowest (after retries), finishing 5th. I lose more time through the corners than I gain on the straights, as my entry, cornering and exit speeds are so much slower, yet my top speed is only sightly better.

Worst of all, FM won't see this as refundable, as I'm sure they'll say that all races can be won if the cars are upgraded enough, or I could just start a new run.
