Thanks :) I do too, but that was the only one of the three that wasn't upgraded with Gold (TS to PR:67.1 for Spadaconcept Supercar Showcase and 918 to PR:66.0 for East/West Throwdown), so I used the Nissan to be sure it was feasible.

In this race, I think I would have used the Spada instead, for its top speed (225 mph for my set-up). The S Curves are a good place to overtake, as you can stick half you car off-track, carrying more speed and covering a shorter distance, but as you point out, a good entry to the straights are vital, out-braking them is also useful, as long as you don't overdo it and skid :P

The last overtake was a last-ditch effort, I knew I would probably fail if I waited any longer, or maybe not fail with light contact, though that might mean a fail with "no touching".

Good luck! Keep in mind that starting a new run is a viable option, judging by the comments.
