Oh, that one is annoying and it really irritated me. But after I tried dozens of times last night and finally made it with 2 left. (Each time I felt no hope to win, I quit and restored from cloud. Because I was also using the level up glitch to get more gold, so the opponents were not weaken, I think. That is why I had to try so many times and I almost gave it up)

My observation is fuel saving is not necessary, at least in the beginning. I tried to catch up the first one in the first two laps so I did not try to save fuel, but it turned out I only used a little more than 3 (like 3.1) in first lap and a little less than 3 in second. The bots (or TSM players) I faced were rather strong since I won quite a few races in a row, and some with big margin. As a result, I could not save much fuel even after I got 1st place because the 2nd one was always 100m behind me... Yet it seems that 2.9 is enough for each lap.

Back on the circuit, I really dislike Hockenhermring. I am not good at it even with auto-acceleration and low brake assist, let  alone it is night version. But here is what I could suggest based on my race:

1. Because it is night, so avoid damaging the lights. Otherwise you would face darkness in some segements of the raceway and it can be hard for you to tell when to brake.

2. Do not brake in the first turn, just lift up the gas a little before the turn.

3. Do not try to save fuel in the 2nd or 3rd turn. And if you are not very used to manual braking, remember the braking point by observing the opponents. And when you reach 1st, you can lift up gas a little earler and brake a little late so you can save a little fuel....

4. Do not brake in the 4th turn and just lieft up the gas a little, do the same with 6th turn.

5. You can try to save fuel in 7th turn, but do not care it too much, brake when your speed is more than 210kph. (I passed it with 200 once, but most time I passed it just around 170)

6. Do not brake for the last two turns. But left up gas earlier. (The second but last may require a little braking depending the speed you are on)

If you have time, maybe you could just fail a few times and some say they can win it with an unserviced car...
