Talk:Front-Runner (v5.5.0)/@comment-31433854-20170914123230

Well, 8.3 & 8.5 really got me wondering why I play the game. Go through rediculous tasks for a car I don't want so I can do a few lame races with it.

Anyway, I managed it. Was hoping for an easier time at 93.3. The only thing that worked for me on 8.3 was to aggressively push Norm right at the start. I got him into first at Dunlop once and then we could just cruise. Every other time it would involve me passing him inadvertently or him getting spun by a bot. A complete nightmare. It may take the worst stage ever crown from motorfiesta 'maintain 19th' nonsense.

8.5 was fine once the braking points were figured out but it really drove home the fact there is no practice mode in the game, since it quits as soon as you go off track. I also came to realize that, at this PR, you don't need to put in a TT-style flyer. You have to drive quick but can leave a margin for error. 8.6 was easy afterwards. FWIW, I found I could hit 274 on the second section of Mulsanne as well, so 3 spots per lap. The rest of the lap I drove like a grandma (was something like 45s slower than on 8.5).
