This doesn't look good. I really doubt it's going to be possible with R$ only, and I fear it's going to need quite a few gold upgrades.

Take for example 3.4 (Autocross): If you have only 1st level R$ (1111111), Santos has a time of 31.639 sec. If you do the rest R$ upgrades, it increases to 32.104 sec. That's a half a second difference, which makes it very easy. So it seems this SE is really another pay-to-win event.

I did 3.4 many times in order to practice for what's coming, and with all R$ upgrades you can do it in 31.3 seconds, and probably less (I did slide just a tiny bit). So, while there is some slack still, it's vanishing quickly. And we have three more days to come.

Let me say here that I don't mind much the pay-to-win principle. After all, FM doesn't run a charity. But it should be implemented by increasing the performance of the player's car, not by decreasing the performance of your opponents. Santos and his friends don't become worse drivers just because I upgraded my engine. This is not real racing, this is ridiculous racing.
