Goal 1.1: Head To Head at Hong Kong Circuit [1 lap] Win this event - Recommended PR60.2

Racer KCain10r wrote: It seems there are only two turns where racers need to find an optimal point to brake. The rest of the turns can be done on-the-fly.

Goal 1.2: Endurance at [Hong Kong Circuit]] Morning - Overtake 15 opponents - Recommended PR60.2

 *  Reports 

Adamoyan Stage 1 Report:

Upgrades/PR: Started tier 1 upgrades as soon as I entered the Special Event. I completed Goal 1 and Goal 2 with the base PR of 60.2, but waited for the tier 1 upgrades to finish before trying Goal 3. I kicked off the only two R$ tier 2 upgrades so they will be ready for Stage 2 in the morning.

Controls: Tilt B, no assists, no traction.

Goal 1: First attempt was disastrous as I wasn't looking at the map and turned right instead of left at the 1st hairpin! Lol The rest of the lap was just an opportunity to familiarise myself with the Hong Kong track. Second attempt I won fairly easily by getting the inside line on the first hairpin. From there I just made sure I blocked any passing attempts by the bot.

Goal 2: Went pretty hard and passed 14 cars before getting to 5.5 kms. I mucked up the overtake for the 15th car and didn't pass it until about 6.7 km (which put me into 1st place). My tip for this goal is to turn around and run backwards once you see the green banner after the 15th overtake. Use up any remaining time reducing your distance. You will still pass the Goal, but this may help manage the bots in later Stages.

Goal 3: With all tier 1 upgrades I passed this on the first attempt quite readily. I got to 3rd place by the end of lap 1, then into the lead about halfway through lap 2. My tip is to force your way into the inside of the track - the bots seem to leave a large enough gap to squeeze underneath them in most corners, even though the track is tight.

 *  Reports 

Adamoyan Stage 2 Report:

Upgrades/PR: Started with tier 1 upgrades completed (PR 64.1) and raced Goals 1 & 2 with this status. For Goal 3, the two tier 2 R$ upgrades had completed, giving me a PR of 65.2.

Controls: Tilt B, no assists, no traction.

Goal 1: On my first attempt I got to the lead by mid-way through the 2nd lap, but I failed by trying to slow the bots too much in the home straight - I had Magnus jammed on my rear bumper, but another bot snuck past me just metres before the finish line! On my second attempt I was in 3rd place by the end of the first lap, and got to 1st place very early in the second lap. My tip for this Goal is to cut the corners a little bit when passing cars on the corners to avoid colliding and damaging your car.

Goal 2: This one was not hard, but I failed my first attempt by seeing if reaching 226 kph twice was enough to get the green banner and pass - it wasn't, you definitely have to win the event too (just like the instructions said! lol) I passed on my second attempt easily with tier 1 upgrades. I reached the first place speed of 257 kph in the starting straight, then got to 226 kph again in the second short straight. I just cruised for the rest of the lap.

Goal 3: With PR 65.2, I easily got to 1st place by turn 3 on the first lap. So I had achieved the "50 seconds in 1st place" before the end of lap 1. From then on, I just tried to slow the bots as much as I could by blocking them from overtaking. Almost got too cute again, but passed on my first attempt without any real difficulty.

<font color="#f08080">Start / End Strategy
The player has # days to complete the # stages, the event is # days x 24 hours. The first stage will start the time the player starts it, the last stage will end # x 24 hours later. As stage 01 is normally straight forward and can be completed without an upgrade or service, it can be started late in the day, it doesn't matter if stage 01 isn't completed the first day, it can continued the following day. Stage 02, will automatically unlock at midnight, but can only be raced once stage 01 is complete. Stage 03 will unlock at midnight the following day, and so on up to stage #. In total there will be # x 24 hours = # hours to complete all stages.

For example:

Start ### @ 7:30 PM the event will end # days x 24 hours later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM,

You need to choose the best time for you to start Victory by Design event, or more importantly when is the best time for you to end the event!

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): I wouldn't recommend starting the event on the first day, #date#, as many racers, who start as soon as the event opens, complain about bugs, which FM then fix! Instead leave the start a day or two and let other people do the bug testing. Also the tips and details can be filled in by the early adopters, so starting a day or two later gives a better heads up.

Ideally, for racers who are busy Monday to Friday and have the weekend free, the best day and time to start is as late as possible #day#, as long as it's before midnight, meaning stage # of the event can be completed over two days, the following Saturday and Sunday. #Unfortunately there maybe a short time to start this event!# It maybe only open for #No# weeks, as the next release is expected ##. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

<font color="#ffff00">When is the last time I can start this Event?
The exact date is unknown, normally 1 - 2 weeks.

The way FM display the date isn't very clear, they use a rounding factor. The days and hours remaining, to start, is changing at mid day or on the half hour. The closing date and time displayed is a cautious closing date and time. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

<font color="#ffff00">Will this event be added to the race career?
FM went though a spell of adding special events to the racing career, the last time a special event was added was September 2015 v3.6, NASCAR Academy was added directly to the NASCAR career, without previously being released as a Time Limited Event (TLE). Previous to that was April 2015 v3.3, with Redline: Origins and MotorFiesta 1. It is therefore unlikely this event will be added to the racing career.

<font color="#ffff00">Will the car be available to win in the future?
The Mercedes-AMG GT3 is available to win if the challenge is completed in ## days, after ##-### the Mercedes-AMG GT3 can be purchased.

<font color="#ffff00">Can I buy the car?

<font color="#ffff00">What is the minimum PR / upgrades required
RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race): Since Generations, if the players car is far below the recommended PR level the bots run impossible times. Once the car is upgraded the bots return to normal times. Slowing the bots works, only when the PR requirements are close. Some goals have fixed top bots. Possible upgrade strategies:
