I now felt confident that I could easily win this stage. Wrong. I was lucky to finish ninth in the end, with the winners time now a miraculous 15:06 seconds - 2 mins 53 second fastest lap. Impossible. 40 GC spent and passed.

I can't see how anybody has managed to do this. I spent ages being so careful to do the absolute minimun to get by each stage for this?. I think 3 times of retirement is not enough at all. When you retire, you can see the total time of the 1st place. For me I slowed him till he made a time around 18min10s in total. That's abit more than 3min30s by lap, which would be a very large margin from my own time! I did that and I could easily beat the bot.

I don't understand why people still keep having problems with it. Just follow the tips right and you'll be able to finish the event correctly.

Did you even read what I wrote? I slowed him down to FORTY MINUTES!!! It was over EIGHT MINUTES for his fastest lap! Previously (with the Nissan first time round) I retired TEN times, and I retired both ways: First by retiring and then continuing (much slower, but I thought the best way), then by retiring and retrying (much quicker). Both had the same effect of slowing them down (their times when I retired) but had no effect if I didn't actually retire.

I followed the tips perfectly, so don't be condescending. Thanks.

I though the "40" was a typo, because it seemed unreallistic to me. But are you saying that after the x times of retirements, you raced against the opponents which finish their 5 laps in 40 minutes, and that you are still not able to beat them? I a bit confused here. The average time to conclude the 5 laps is around 15 minutes... oO
