As is typically the case with SE's (at least recently), it appears that the BA is set to be more aggressive in the SE than in Career Mode. This penalizes players who utilize BA (more than it normally penalizes us anyhow) compared to those who do not. This seems to be one of the methods FM is utilizing to make the event more difficult and force players to add more upgrades than would be required if FM were playing honestly. It of course doesn't affect players who don't use assists, but I've got to figure most do.

I know I certainly noticed there were some corners where BA was slowing me much more than necessary. Usually, BA Low comes on too late (depending on the corner), and will require manual intervention as well to keep from going off-track. However, I nearly felt like I could run this track flat out without touching the brakes when I had BA Low.

I'm sure this will come into play on later events (I started late since I was low on GC, gave me time to farm), so I am just on Stage 4 now.
