Almost the same for me. Days 1-5 were ok with no upgrades, but I had to upgrade to IP 50.2 in order to win in 6.6. You have to stay focused and keep a very clean racing line, otherwise you skid or lose speed and ruin your race. Drafting is dangerous and tricky to master. Very challenging, it took me a lot of time to finally do it.

7.1 was quite difficult too. Same approach, same requirements as in 6.6, but more cars to overtake, thus more opportunities to get out of the line and crash. It took me about an hour to do it right, but I had hired the mechanics to keep the car in a good state, so I was ready for the next stages.

7.2 : just accelerate, take a good racing line and forget about your opponent.

7.3 : did it on my first attempt, without paying too much attention to the fuel gauge. Accelerating as much as possible to overtake the other cars quickly, coasting in the curves. Finish line crossed with an empty tank at a dangerously low speed, though. I was quite lucky, I guess :-)

7.4 : depending on your skills, it takes about 3 laps, maybe less to get in 3rd position. Follow the leaders until they catch up the rest of the pack, then overtake them as they struggle to find their way in the traffic. Loved it :-)

7.5 : Can be done without servicing the car, provided your racing line is good. Don't skid, accelerate smoothly in the curves... and finish 2nd.

7.6 : Not done yet, but should be ok. Will hire the manager and the agent, as they are available for free.

All in all, it could have been an interesting challenge, but it suddenly became ridiculously difficult on day 6, killing the fun. 6.6 and 7.1 were the most difficult races in my opinion, playing fairly. Fortunate I had a few days off, I would not have been able to win otherwise. Winning all four cars is a joke. I managed to get the 3 Le Mans 2015 cars, but I will never make such an effort again. I will try to grab a Chevrolet for free, and that will be all. I have a life :-)
