For those trying to know what this series is all about

For the first 5 days, the series is relatively easy

As for day 6, in 6.5 some people struggled with the damaged steering wheel changing directions going at 200+mph,  but nothing terrible, it was fun. I was able to get this far with a PR of around 86.X (X because I don't remember), investing 230GC with a strategy of 2222211

Then day 7 began, 7.1 forces you to upgrade, there is no way around, even if you manage the bots (7.1 is a drag race), now here is where the tricky part starts:

You could either skip for 35GC

Or

Upgraded the car spending 100GC more for the engine, I decided to do this because if that event was that hard, I thought I was going to need the performance (applying this upgrade allows you to upgrade one more time for R$)

I did 7.1 with 3222211 now it is 330GC spent. The following challenges are quite hard and frustrating but doable, mostly tailgate (Now with this configuration, to pass, you need to be a skillful driver, you need to know what you are doing) (By the way, in 7.6 it says that you can finish 3rd, but you must finish 2nd)

THEN DAY 8

The first 3 events are with the good Norm, surprisingly easy, he is slow in the straights, but fast in turns, he is driving a P1 GTR. (At day 8 my last upgrade was just finished, engine 4, Final PR88)

The last two events is where the nightmare is, they apparently increased the top speed from last time, here is where I had to skip, I just couldn't get the average speed, and in the last one they increased the number of times you have to reach certain maximum speed, all these without going off track, I just didn't have the performance and skipped them both for 80 GC, for a total of...... 410GC PR88

The thing is that if you skip 7.1 and manage to complete the following races of day 7, you could be getting the car for 345GC, you could even skip another one and still be saving Gold, assuming that you will skip the last two races

It was fun but mostly frustrating, these are the things that I would have liked to know before starting this event

Good Luck!
