@RomGuyony - Michael's link is also from a Chinese site, I guess we'll see how accurate that turns out to be. Additionally, there's only a single instance there of recommended PR, there's not a PR listing for any other stages, so it's hard to have context and know where that figure came from. For all we know that could be the recommended PR for Stage 7.1 and it will increase from there.

That said, I certainly do hope the actual recommended PR is that low, it means I stand a good chance to win the car with a PR around 112, which is what I'm hoping for. However, based on the recommended PR from several previous Special Events, I really don't expect them to sway that much from the formula they've been using. It would be a surprising development for sure, and a welcome one at that.

@Powerup777 - Agreed. In most cases, you'll need a higher PR to complete the career series that's introduced with each Special Event. However, that's not my concern, I just want to win the car. Obtaining 100% in a career series is a low priority for me due to the massive negative ROI there. There are very few career series in this game which allow a net GC gain. Unless you are going for 100% completion (which I am not, at least currently), you'll spend more GC than necessary for very little gain (spend 100's of GC to win 20-30GC). Considering that all the cars I have left to buy are GC cars, and that each new update brings us a handful of new GC cars as well, I see little reason at the moment to spend GC on anything other than obtaining cars. A full garage is my current goal, other racers may have different goals.

I also made no mention here of what PR will actually be needed to win. In many cases, good racers with either solid skills, good bot management, or both, can win the cars with a PR a fair amount lower than the recommendation. I've done so for every SE that's had a recommended PR and I expect to here as well.

All this chart is meant to estimate is the recommended PR based on how the PR has advanced in each stage and extrapolating out to the end. Ia also compared the figures to previous Special Events and noticed a correlation there as well and mentioned it. Time will tell which estimate turns out to be correct.
