Talk:Daytona 500: The Great American Race/@comment-117.223.154.21-20170227070644

Tried to win the car with 4432211 (PR 51.5 at 81 net GC) but bots remain too fast on last day due to diff in PR between recommended 53.7. As soon as I added brakes level 2 and 3 upgrades (+32GC) bots started doing 44.1xx laps compared to 43.2xx laps earlier. The event became walk in the park, did all 5 stages without servicing or engineer needed in one go. So people who are in middle of this and plan to get this at lowest net cost go for 2432233 strategy with 81 net cost. Due to having less high speed that what I mentioned above some event might be bit challenging.

113 net cost is OK with getting some additional gold back upto 75% progress from the car's bonus series (42GC). so in the end this will cost 71 GC

7.1 - needed few retries as got bumped while overtaking 2 times. on 3rd try decided to stick to end of the pack and overtake on the last bend had progressed upto 9th place so decided to lift a throttle just a bit and finished 13th

7.2 - just draft from one group to another turned out to be pretty easy

7.3 - progressed upto 2nd place quickly then drafted the first place car till last bend and overtook him there to maintain gap of less than 100m. with upgrades that I had + darfting the speed was never an issue

7.4 - lifted throttle slghtly at the start and fell back to 6th place progressed carefully with taking 1 car at a time again drafted the 1st place car till last lap start and overtook it as soon as I crossed the finish straight. being the last event no need to slow down bots anymore won by large margin

7.5 - did the donut to get this quickly over with comared to doing the lap, also car was in RED by this point anyways.

I normally use tilt A but used tilt B on last day. that gives much better control in trying to maintain the draft. (SA high, BA off TC off). All in all since I had the 4th level engine upgrade ultimately seventh day proved to be lot easier that I tought it would be. Don't plan to for other NASCAR now in this release. its likely to be more costly and LTS is more grinding. In fact this one with 24 total event must have been the shortest one I did so far (I only started from Aug 2016 and only did Special events from MP4X onwards). Would have preferred to win this at 81GC. Will probably start the lambo special even with 2/3 day delay instead of 1 day on this one so that better call can be made regarding upgrades.
