Talk:Porsche 911 RSR Championship/@comment-27123099-20160519200607

Just wrapped up this series. Managed to complete Tier 11 through Tier 17 almost entirely with an unserviced car (including 17.1). I started out this morning with the last of my final 2 GC upgrades (Engine 4 and Drivetrain 4) requiring about 1.5hr to complete. So I raced with what I had (I was still well above the recommended PR for Tier 11). I did use my free mechanic on the 11.3 Cup race, mostly just because I had it available. However, once I needed servicing again, I just continued to race to see how far I could make it. Turns out, I was able to make it all the way to the end!

I credit the bot management for sure. The events were quite easy, even with an unserviced car. I was still holding back to keep from winning by too much. All of my Endurance events were around 2 miles, with one that was actually 1.2mi.

On 17.1, I decided to go ahead and give it a try with the unserviced car, just to see how I'd fare. At first, I thought I'd be toast, the other cars were pulling away fairly easily. However, as the time ticked down, we got closer to the turn and all the other cars began to sow down. I passed the 7th place car with maybe 1sec on the countdown and I managed to pass a few others immediately after. I was in 4th without much trouble and I breathed a sigh of relief. From there, it was a pretty easy move up to 1st with the other bots slowing significantly for the corners. I won without too much fanfare. Most difficult part was the very beginning, but there's no skill to it, just punch the accelerator and don't touch the brakes lol!

Car is servicing now and I plan to mine the 15.1 Cup quite a bit over the next few days while this event is still available. See if I can pull out a few more level ups and some more GC before the next event starts.

Car Stats: PR 86.3 (18/30, 4,4,2,2,2,2,2) Total GC Spent on upgrades - 282GC Completion Bonus - 80GC Net cost for upgrades - 202GC

If the other 3 GTE cars cost this much, I'll be good with that. It's a reasonable price to pay for these cars (well, the upgrades anyhow) and I shouldn't have much trouble earning enough GC to satisfy that over the next month or so. I already have a decent stockpile to start with, sitting at 461GC right now.
