Car in garage. PR 53.1 @ 21/27 upgrades. (4,4,3,2,3,1,3)  Total 269GC minus the 90 bonus, net costs @ 179.

I thought the event was fairly straight forward. Not too easy yet not too difficult.

Only rough spot was 7.1. I probably ran this 12-15 times before clearing it. After that, the rest of stage 7 was cleared on the first try.

TIPS for 7.1

First of all the 208mph requirement. I found you needed to drop to drop to 203mph or below before going back up to 208 for the 2nd mark to register.

Then hitting 14th. Well, on each try the bot configuration changed. So some might be the luck of the draw on that. I tried going around her after my 2nd 208 early, I tried going around her late, but nothing worked. Kept coming in 16-18th.

What finally worked was locking onto her bumper and tapping her while tapping the throttle on, off, on off to stay behind her. She dont like you bumping her and trys to move over. Just keep behind her and slight taps staying on her the whole way.

By doing this, I crosse the start/finish line with two laps to go at 215mph!, this was enough to shoot passed her on the outside of turn 1.

I then took me to the last lap to catch the field as i had slowed to about  209mph. But I one caught them, use the draft to build speed, started passing the pack on the inside coming out of turn 4 on last lap and finished 3rd!
