Again, Rec PR will get you past the goals. Whether or not you are willing to spend to Rec PR, that's up to you. I am absolutely an average driver and almost all events I managed with BA low (TC off), in fact only 7.4 I did with assists off, but was under Rec PR and just wanted to challenge myself. For stage 8 I upgraded to Rec PR and got through without too much hassle with BA low. I think this depends completely on how you race. If you drive with assists off, then you have a much greater chance to pass goals way under Rec PR. I don't think SEs were ever designed to make it easy for anyone to pass with below average driving, that's what career and LTSs are for. SEs are a great way to challenge yourself and see where your skills are as a driver. We all know fully well what we are getting ourselves into when we enter SEs. BUT, as long as Rec PR can get you past goals, with a few retries, then it's fair. Now, whether you think Rec PR is too expensive or the car isn't worth the GCs, that's a personal decision. It's a game, and the moment it's not fun for you, then just quit. I love this game, and want to do better. SE's make me want to be better. I already transitioned from TC on to off, and now I'm going to try disabling BA.

Having said that, I only noticed with this SE strange bot behaviour. Some Cups I had a tough time, and when I saw some of the videos posted here I realized, that I had either same or better lap times but bots were much further away from me than other players. As soon as I upgraded, with one case, worse lap times, bots were much slower. That's not really fair, but, it's a minor quip.
