I went back and watched some videos of those doing Fearless 8.2 (EXACT same race) and their speeds to beat were 212.3 MPH and these were folks who were well under the recommended PR so there is a mismatch. And the required speeds posted by others here still eclipses the race that was "the hardest race ever" according to Chronic in his log for the Fearless event. I am going to say that when FM makes goals that WTTT level A players take 3+ hours to pass they may have gone too far. I just upgraded for that event until I passed it. You are also dealing with the effect of 16 Tiers of running at a high PR prior to encountering this race. Unless you are really, really focused on slowing bots, then the difficulty will tick up over the course of that time.

I usually do not bother too much with Bot slowing in bot slowing for a Bonus Series, because I can always go back and reduce them at a later time, it is more fun, and I started to realize that more and more of the Special Events were asking for us to run at the edge with fixed goals and that is not the kind of training you get parking and pitting bots in bonus series.

I do find it a little odd that Jerrell Omo is so fast. Another thing to remember is that the goal in Fearless was No Off Track and No Skid. My speed is 1.17 kph faster here than it was in Fearless with the same upgrades, but that is likely because I kept trying to hit a much faster goal.
