Day 4: 1331111 PR 61.3

(based on coments posted in the original SE, I decided to go ahead and add two GC upgrades. Will see if additional ones will be required - it seems very probable)

4.1: Finish 1st in one event or at least 9th in all three. Chose to finish 9th in all three. Knowing that the off-track requirement doesn't apply if you choose to finish 9th, I did some cuts here and there to position in 9th and then just managed to stay ahead of the bot right behind me. In theory this option should help in bot management. The only downside is that I had to service the car after the 3rd event.

4.2: Speed Record 157.48 mph vs. 155.37 mph (Zoe): Average of 94.5 mph. With my upgrades, the challenge was to keep the average low. I believe I did 96 mph.

4.3: Head to head 1:55.285 vs 1:55.494 (Zoe): I caught up to Zoe right after the start and pit'ed her right away. Then I tried to keep her under control through the rest of the race (had a chance to pit her again in the back straight but ended up not doing it fearing disqualification). There was plenty of contact towards the end even though the rules stated no collision.

4.4: Cup 6:29.432 vs 6:30. Pass the Belgian 4 times. Important to emphasize that winning is not required. I caught the Belgian mid way through lap 2 and passing him 4 times was easy. I got to the finish line with over 1 min to spare, so just waited to get close to the target.
