The first six days of this event were too easy, however this changes for day seven. I have managed to finish the last day with only R$ upgrades. 7.1 is six laps at Monza junior. I had a free engineer to use which allowed me to complete the whole day with no servicing. The race itself was easy enough to win. 7.2 is choice of three events, I chose autocross, only 20secs, again easy. 7.3 is meant to be a fuel management race but no fuel management is needed. I kept the accelerator on the entire 3 laps and only used just over a third of the allocated fuel, again the race was easy. The final three races become tricky. I did a cloud save after each race was complete. Each of these last three races required a number of attempts. 7.4 was a single lap at Monza junior needing a top speed of 180mph. I needed to race with no brake assists to be able to reach this mark and even then there is not enough time to brake before the corner which sends you careering into the wall, but with a few repeats managed to bounce off the wall and back on track and managed to maintain lead. 7.5 is a single lap junior again requiring a win but to finish slower than 84mph I think. Had to race the first section of race cleanly and good lines to maximise lead over Bjorn, by the final turn I could get to 135 yards ahead then coming to the line hit the brakes hard. It required a few attempts to get the braking point correct and I also needed to swerve in front of Bjorn right at the end to stop him from passing. 7.6 is against the turbo boosted bots. I managed this after a number of attempts but applying a strategy of switching between low and no brake assists. Mostly I race with low assists. At the start I had no assists, go down the right side and at the end of the starting straight veer to the right and onto the grass to make the chicane as straight as possible and to go through it with just the lightest tap on the brakes. This gave me a slight lead over Magnus. I changed to low assists to engage Magnus with some jostling, then at the next chicane switched back to no assists to pass through as quick as possible and repeated this through out the race. Hope someone finds some of these tips useful.
