Well this event is interesting from design standpoint. No gradual increase in difficulty as you'd expect (well, knowing FM/EA you probably shouldn't expect anything normal ...).

From beginning to stage 7.3 is outright easy. I've upgraded to 1332321 right away as that was the lowest upgrade path people reported finishing with. And it seemed alright, I've done almost every event first try with those upgrades ...

... until I got stuck at 7.4. Which isn't hard, it's just plain stupid. Hard stuff requires skill, 7.4 requires mostly luck. Didn't bother retrying a million times and upgraded wheels to 3. Bot was much slower then so I've managed to finish it in second try.

Off to day 8: 8.1 is easy, first try with a full second to spare.

8.2 - a bit more challenging, but not too bad. At least it's a skill based event and not some set of stupid conditions. First full run resulted in a time of 2:18.x and 0.3 kph short of goal ... retried, made sure I cleared the bots as quickly and cleanly as possible and finished with 2:16.0 and 191.1 kph.

Now watching ads to service ... Will update this post when I finish.
