Did 6.5 with 1 level of upgrades but lost by 8 seconds. During Stage 5, I started 5.5 with a car near need of service. I had upgrades in process but not completed. Beat the first race easily. Then tried the other two with a car that needed service. Came in 3rd and 6th respectively after driving the tires off. Tried again. Got into 2nd but couldn't win the events.

After servicing and the upgrades completing, I tried again and won but only by 200-300 yd.

Stages 6.1 and 6.2 were quite easy though I wasn't careful enough to make time as close as possible to the limit.

I had to do 6.3 twice. The first attempt was with a car barely needing service but stage 1 upgrades but I lost by at least 700 yd. The second attempt was with a serviced car. I won by about 300 yd with a time close to 7:00 versus the 7:50 on the table above.

6.4 with the LaFerrari also took a couple tries. When I succeeded I did a 4:12 race to win. I tried to slow at the end but I was only 300 yd in front and didn't start braking soon enough to make big difference.

I have completed one attempt at 6.5 so far. Still with stage 1 upgrades. The bots have a top speed and acceleration edge. I found I can take it flat out in clean air and hitting 175 MPH. I had at least one bot try to force me off the inside of a turn. I finished 4th, eight seconds behind and 0.8 off the fastest lap at 0:51.3.

I'm not certain if this increase in difficulty is due to the stage of the challenge or something else. Maybe I haven't been careful enough to slow the bots down.

Feedback welcome.
