I think that I probably could have gotten through Stage 03 Goal 1 without upgrading beyond 1111111 (BRL Only), but it would have required perfect entry and exit on corners and no skids, and I just didn't want to put the time in to getting it right after two or three attempts at PR58.5 (Recommended is PR61.2)

Upgraded to 2221211 PR61.3 Cost: 195 and bought the R$ stage 3 upgrades for those 4 as well so that they will be ready for tomorrow.

3.1 at PR61.3 was easier. It just ticked 206kph a few meters from the finish line. I took it a little easier, but passed on the first try.

3.2 I tried a bot slow, so no budge, so I just beat Zoé on speed snap.

3.3 Is a H2H against Zoé in the Aventador and she rockets off at the start and on Curva Grande, but she is easy to catch as she is painfully slow in turns; brakes early exits late.

3.4 is very easy, though it might be tough to catch Chase in the FXXK to finish first. Ahmed in the One-1 is a lot faster on the straights, but Ahmed could walk through the turns faster. Tailgating for 20s is cumulative, so you can let him rocket off, then catch him up again. If you haven't figured it out yet, Ahmed is the Emirati, so he is who you have to tail. He was in third in my race and was in the only One-1. I slowed at the line so Ahmed passed me, but I finished in 5:15 (5:20 Goal); I think the Zonda R rear-ended me across the line a few seconds before I wanted to.

While a bit expensive, the thing I appreciate about the the Events lately is that the Recommended PR makes the event very doable without too much stress. That was the problem with events last year. You'd upgrade to the Rec PR and it would be impossible to reach the goal. I think that is fair. You can make the decision of whether to pay to play or not with no surprises and insane difficulty and regret after paying.
