Hopefully some helpful info from Day 1, bot slowing works. Not sure if I’m going to do this event but decided to try the fist day out of curiosity. Ran it full day once, then was curious about bot slowing so ran it a couple more times. Anyway here’s quick summary of stages and what I found:

Stages: 1) win event - 2 lap Porsche long track 2) speed record - 1 lap Porsche long track (top speed depends on time from stage 1 as I’ll explain below - ranges from 151.53mph to 155.89mph) 3) win event in 2:20 without going off track more than 3 seconds - 2 laps Porsche short track

Bot slowing info: Ran stage 1 four times, twice fast and twice slowing/blocking bots then checked what stage 2 top speed was.

Stage 1 fast roughly 2:40 Stage 1 slow roughly 3:50

2:40 time set stage 2 top speed at 155.89mph 3:50 time set stage 2 top speed at 151.53mph

So as you can see, running it slow takes 4mph off the top speed.

Stage 3 wasn’t. I went off track right after the start & before the turn to pass most of cars (watch speed master real’s video of Rennsport Redefined stage 4 to see the off track tip if you need help). You should have plenty of time to finish & most likely you’ll sit at finish line waiting for timer to count down before 2nd car catches you.

And sorry I didn’t convert to kph but was being lazy.
