Reward 5

Post-challenge: R$31,126,525 — 2,045 — 174/182 Cars — Level 250

HV2308 (level 252, WTTT level D-E, manual controls, no assists), PR 37.7 (0/27 upgrades, waiting for all level 1 R$ upgrades to arrive)

Day 1 very easy and quick. Only 3 events so no need to service inbetween. All at Suzuka.

1.1 No opponent. Just complete a lap. Take your time (bot management & you never know if you have to beat your own time later in the event).

1.2 Speed snap (Suzuka East, from the starting line through the first right hander). Take it easy on the approach to the corner, take a wide line in (= keep left) and hit the throttle as you are turning in. Aim for the apex / inside curb and drift out towards the left. Win by as small a margin as possible (manual controls are handy in doing this)

1.3 Finish 2nd in a Cup race after tailgating Zoe within 40 yards for 40 seconds. Zoe is leading so pass everyone first and then stick to her bumper. No problem if you lose contact, all the tailgating is added up. After completing the 40 secs I dropped back and held up 3rd place as much as possible. No problem being further back than 2nd during the race, as long as you finish 2nd. Serviced

Day 2 also no problem. Only 3 events & no need to service inbetween. All at Suzuka

2.1 Cup race, 2 laps at Suzuka West. Finish in the top 3 with Zoe & Magnus. You start in 3rd place. If top 3 is enough, no point in finishing higher than 3rd (botmanagement). I let Zoe & Magnus disappear ahead in the distance and blocked and held up the field behind as much as possible. No problem dropping back further than 3rd during the race as long as you finish 3rd in the end.

2.2 Speed record at Suzuka East. The usual: turn round at the start, turn back in the right direction somewhere in the turn so you can get the speed up and use the full straight to get to the target (147.2 mph). Lift or brake as soon as you pass the target, win by as small a margin as possible. Cruise around and complete the lap.

2.3 Cup race at Suzuka GP Circuit. Win with an average of 105 mph. Get to the lead and keep the speed up. The average should slowly but surely go towards 105 mph or beyond. The long sections on the second part of the lap should take care of that. Slowed down in the end to let the average drop to 105 mph. Serviced.

Reward 5 and NISSAN Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC10)

Post-challenge: BRL31,142,643 — 2,063 — 175/182 Cars — Level 250

HV2308 (level 252, WTTT level D-E, manual controls, no assists), PR 43.6 (7/27 upgrades, waiting for four level 2 R$ upgrades to arrive & go to 11/27 1212122 tomorrow)

4 challenges all at Silverstone. Challenge 1-3-4 in the old Skyline 2000 GT-R, challenge 2 in the Skyline GT-R Group A. Another pretty easy & good fun / change from the usual day. And you get the 2000 GT-R at the end of it for free. No servicing needed in between (probably no upgrading either - but why shouldn't you do the R$ upgrades, they only cost a few thousand R$ and arrive within minutes).

"Unleash the beast" is a bit inapropriate where the 2000 GT-R is concerned. PR 0.1, it drives like a tortoise. Still, it adds to the variation of the game and driving a slow car in a slow race with other slow cars is quite relaxing and enjoyable.

4.1 Autocross in the "old" 2000 GT-R (0/26, waiting on 7 level 1 upgrades, upgradetime 5 minutes). Plenty of time to reach the target time (56s and a bit) even without upgrades. Apart from getting used to how slow the 2000 GT-R is (PR 0.1!!), be warned that - if you're doing botmanagement and trying to win by as small a margin as possible - it takes about 1-1,5 seconds to cross the line. Even when you're parked right in front of the flag waiting for the clock run closer to the target time.

4.2 Autocross on the same section, now in the Skyline GT-R group A, target time 42s. No problem, same issue with waiting at the finish for the clock to run closer to the target time. Only 1 or 2 bars of damage, but if you want to service the Group A, after this challenge is the last chance to do it today - next 2 races are in the 2000 GT-R again.

4.3 Head to head with Magnus on Silverstone National, win by 55 yards. Car was 1111111 by now, waiting for 6 additional R$ upgrades to go to 2212222). Took Magnus on the inside of the first corner, as we both got up to speed (ahem!) just tapped him behind the rear wheel before the next set of corners, and he spun round. Took him so long to recover (over 500 yds back) I had to wait at the line, won by 60 yds in the end.

4.4 3 lap Cup race in the 2000 GT-R on Silverstone National. Straightforward. You can go right up the middle of the field and get into the lead by taking the last two cars on the inside of the corners before the long back straight. Slowed and blocked the bots as much as possible. Beware that the first few cars are quite close together and may pass you while you are blocking the car in 2nd place.

<font color="#F08080">Start / End Strategy
The player has 7 days to complete the 7 stages, the event is 7 days x 24 hours. The first stage will start the time the player starts it, the last stage will end 7 x 24 hours later. As stage 01 is normally straight forward and can be completed without an upgrade or service, it can be started late in the day, it doesn't matter if stage 01 isn't completed the first day, it can continued the following day. Stage 02, will automatically unlock at midnight, but can only be raced once stage 01 is complete. Stage 03 will unlock at midnight the following day, and so on up to stage 7. In total there will be 7 x 24 hours = 168 hours to complete all stages.

For example:

Start Sunday @ 7:30 PM the event will end 7 days x 24 hours later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM,

You need to choose the best time for you to start Unleash the Beast event, or more importantly when is the best time for you to end the event!

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): I wouldn't recommend starting the event on the first day, May 8th, as many racers, who start as soon as the event opens, complain about bugs, which FM then fix! Instead leave the start a day or two and let other people do the bug testing. Also the tips and details can be filled in by the early adopters, so starting a day or two later gives a better heads up.

Ideally, for racers who are busy Monday to Friday and have the weekend free, the best day and time to start is as late as possible Sunday May 14th, as long as it's before midnight, meaning stage 7 of the event can be completed over two days, the following Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately there will be short time to start this event! It will only open for 1 week, to start, as the next special event is expected May 22nd. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

<font color="#FFFF00">When is the last time I can start this Event?
The exact date is unknown, probably Sunday May 14th.

The way FM display the date isn't very clear, they use a rounding factor. The days and hours remaining, to start, is changing at mid day or on the half hour. The closing date and time displayed is a cautious closing date and time. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

<font color="#FFFF00">Will this event be added to the race career?
FM went though a spell of adding special events to the racing career, the last time a special event was added was September 2015 v3.6, NASCAR Academy was added directly to the NASCAR career, without previously being released as a Time Limited Event (TLE). Previous to that was April 2015 v3.3, with Redline: Origins and MotorFiesta 1. It is therefore unlikely this event will be added to the racing career.

<font color="#FFFF00">Will the car be available to win in the future?
The NISSAN Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC10) is available to win if the challenge is completed in 3 days, after May 21st the NISSAN Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC10) can be purchased.

The NISSAN Skyline GT-R Group A (BNR32) is available to win if the challenge is completed in x days, after May 21st the NISSAN Skyline GT-R Group A (BNR32) can be purchased.

<font color="#FFFF00">Can I buy the car?

 * The NISSAN Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC10) has been added to Classic Skyline Challenge series in the Pro/Am category. It can be purchased for ###.
 * The NISSAN Skyline GT-R Group A (BNR32) has been added to Group A Grand Tour series in the Pro category. It can be purchased for ###.

<font color="#FFFF00">What is the minimum PR / upgrades required
RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race): Since Generations, if the players car is far below the recommended PR level the bots run impossible times. Once the car is upgraded the bots return to normal times. Slowing the bots works, only when the PR requirements are close. Some goals have fixed top bots. Possible upgrade strategies:
