Well now, I've got my first Honda engine in the garage, and I'm mighty proud of it!

First and foremost, thanks guys, for all the tips posted here! Kudos, for you all. It probably saved me from giving up after depleting my reserves.

Now, for what's meaningful: 1323332 equaling a PR of 139.7, Buttons sensitvity 0

8.1 was a handfull, for me at least. Done more than 30 tries, still with 1322332 (139.1), and kept coming hot on the tailgate of Santos. I used TC on, BA low (with a bit off for the first turn after the start finish line) a SA whatever, since it doesn't mean shyte, nowadays. Keep it clean but don't linger behind none. Started last lap 3rd, for my win.

8.2 don't remeber the time (around 30.5 I think), but I know I beat it by 0.030... too damn close for my liking. Only cutted a bit of the last turn, since grip didn't mean squat from then on. Some 25 tries. Fist pump time!!!

Dove into 8.3 with 10 hours in the clock, 123 and some pretty heavy eyelids...

8.3 made me upgrade to my final PR. While I was using the U-turn tip, I was always coming some 10~15KPH short when hitting the barrier. Done some 20 tries. Gave it up and hit the sack... got some well deserved sleep, with the feeling I had just thrown away all my reserves for nothing. Woke up, took a warm bath, took the kid to school and... After 3 tries, and lots of practice from last night, I did it with TC off BA low and SA high, with the slightest of taps on the brakes on entering the curve before the straight. Magnus pulled 386KPH and I managed 388KPH.

Yeah, that made me smile! I now had the {{gold to skip 8.4 and had almost 2 hours to beat 8.5

8.4 you guessed it: Skipped.

8.5 Well, I now had time to get it done... and, guess what? Since I already known - and read it here, somewhere - that bots aren't too keen on overtaking (they now prefer to smash your rear at full throttle) I waited for 10 seconds, and hunted Magnus down. Overtook him on the inside (he was struggling with his tires, so I just dove in "for the kill") at turn 1 entering second lap... 1st try. TC on, BA low, SA whatever. Nice and clean!

Thanks, once again, for all the tips and comments.
