Really 8.2 harder than 8.3?

I did the 8.2 in the second try with your PR almost hands down. But 7.2 was killing me (maybe 100+ tries) as now is 8.3. I keep crashing in cars because they seem to magnetically jump in front of me and push me off track. ;D

In 7.2 there was one car always in the middle of the right lane of the first corner (Abbey) while all the others drove left and I hit him as often as I was too far right off track or skidding off the left side. In the runs when I came through (brake quite early) the 3rd car was spinning in my way in the third turn (Village) and even if I got by my average dropped below 170 kph. A few times I managed even that and had 184 to 187 at the end of the next straight (Brooklands), but still first intermediate was above 0:43 (Luffield) and second above 1:13 (Chapel) and I ended with 1:44,154 four or five times. My problem was in the good runs I had 204 kph in the esses already, but there was the 1st car and I dropped below 200.

My fastest bot was doing 1:52 to 2.02 meaning I had to win with more than 8s lead! Not like in the videos cruising behind on second place... ;D    After maybe 4 or 6 hours I got it right. I swiped through the field and was second before Village, did 0:41 in Luffield and overtook the 1st car between Luffield and Woodcote! He was suddenly at least 15s slower than ever before!!! Thus I reached 209 in the esses already and got to Stowe with 214. This brought me in with 1:41. Maybe it would be more clever to farm some gold in Le Mans and skip 7.2... ?;-)

Now I am stuck in 8.3. Either I go off track on the first straight because of touching one of the cars 4 to 8 or I miss 274 by a fraction or I meet 274 and skid off then.... Ough ...

Is it worth skipping 8.3 or are 8.4 and 8.5 as hard? (just 28CG left and 9 hours to try)
