Day 8 done with PR 87.7, 4142111, for 290 gold, with No Skips!!

I actually finished 8.5 with 1142111, but it took a lot of time and two *perfect* laps.

8.6 took me a good couple hours, but the stars finally aligned and I got the best feeling green banner I've ever had.

Catching Dr. Perriwinkle was almost as hard as getting the 4 top speeds, so you have to be perfect through Dunlop and get into P-2 on the first section of Hunaudiere. Most of my attempts didnt make it that far, and I noticed that there are definitely certain lineups that are more conducive to getting through fast. So if you're struggling try exiting out to the event screen instead of retrying so you get a different lineup of cars.

Getting the 4 top speeds was tricky and took some precision. I got all 4 top speeds on the first section of Hunaudiere. With a really good exit from Tetre you can get to 274 tap the brakes (not too fast because you have to get below ~265 before it will count a new top speed) and then back up to 274 in time to brake for the first chicane. You definitely want a clean run through the chicane on the first lap because if you don't catch Dr. Perriwinkle by Mulsanne you're probably not gonna catch him. I was able to pull away from him in Porsche and through Sector 1 so I had a little cushion going into Hunaudiere on lap 2. On the second lap you have the luxury of being able to slide into the barrier on the left before the first chicane on hunaudiere so it's a bit easier to get both top speeds on the second lap (plus you don't have traffic to deal with).

After that I turned on Brake Assist and traction control just in case and took Porsche as cautiously as I ever have. Then on to the Green Banner and parking the Venom in the garage.

Good Luck!
