I find myself similar to HwyStar, I'm also normally about group C-D in WTTT with non-FU cars as well. For instance, this week, I'm in the middle of Group C (1:30.661) with a PR 62.4 909 (3333333).

I just wrapped up 8.4 in 1:10.476 with all 3's. I made several attempts last night before I went to bed, but couldn't get within 0.5s of 1:11. However, I knew the issue was my insistence on using BA Low for the whole lap. I made a few attempts with BA Off in a few key locations (Bus Stop primarily), but I couldn't get much lower, so I gave up for the night.

A little while ago, while on a break at work, I gave it a few more attempts. This time, I knew I'd need BA Off, so I went about seeing where I could make up the most time. I tried at the start with BA Off, but eventually found that I couldn't easily achieve a faster time than just letting BA Low do its thing and not touching the brakes for the first few corners.

So, I moved on from there and picked my next target (the chicane before the bus stop). This one turned out to be the key and it only took me a few attempts to get a decent enough exit to get me on my way to the bus stop (still with BA Off). I made a clean run through the bus stop, then paused and set BA back to Low and completed the lap. Managed to cut over a second off my previous best time to that point and I put Stage 8 behind me.

Now, awaiting Stage 9 to unlock for me tonight and hoping I can wrap this up with all 3's.
