Well, I always thought I was an average RR3 player, but reading the comments bellow makes me feel really proud of myself. Maybe I'm not that "average", because I finished with 3331311 upgrades. Net 124 GC spent.

I went all the way through 1.1 to 5.1 with R$ only (1111111). Days 1 to 3 were very easy, I only struggled a little in 4.3 (overtake more than 4 times) and in 5.1 (Win this event with a lead of less than 60m). Most of the other objectives were accomplished in my first try.

5.2 (speed snap) was the only "real" challenge, I had to upgrade a lot to get the needed speed (3331311). I don't think I could have made it with less upgrades, at least without spending several hours retrying.

After that, the only difficulty was in 6.2 (autocross). Had to retry several times, but finnaly did it without further upgrading. Days 7 and 8 were fairly easy, maybe because of running Le Mans everyday for some months now. The videos published here helped a lot, mainly in days 5 and 6.

As for the "dreaded" average speed challenges, I have to say one thing. I always run in Tilt A, SA and BA low and TC off. Some challenges require BA off, and those are the ones that make me repeat until I learn the braking points. But, other than the braking points, the other very important thing is the trajectory. When I read some of the "final" reviews here, I have to think that many of the players aren't taking the correct lines, and maybe that's why they struggle so much to accomplish an average speed objective. I did all the average speed challenges (2.2, 4.2, 4.4, 6.3, 7.2 and 8.3) in this SE in my first finished lap.
