I think that the difficulty in this event has been calibrated so that top 5% of players (group C or above) should be able to make it without too much struggle with below-recommended PR, while 10% of players (group D) should be ok with recommended PR. Others will struggle much more, maybe skip the hardest stage or two, maybe over-upgrade, but can still do it. I am saying this based on my own experience (as a C) and on reading the comments.

Chapeau to FM for hitting a good balance of difficulty level. It is impossible to tailor an event which is optimal for all players. People will always complain "Too easy, too hard", but I wish this would be the level of future SEs.

I also like a lot the fact that the hardest stages (e.g. 8.4) are only about pure driving and do not involve AI at all.

What I still dont like is that I had to do maximal bot management all along the early days in order to come up to 9.3 reasonably (BTW I got it the first try with 1333333). I hate doing retries when I win speed snaps with too much margin, but I had no choice. Bot management should be turned OFF completely in SEs. It only creates unfairness. Leave it for LTSs.
