Was able to complete stages 8.1-8.5 with upgrades purchased from 6.5 (131115) but could only get to Zoes bumper once after numerous tries (20 minutes or so). I can only speak for my driving style, but it seems like the car has enough top end speed and not nearly enough grip to handle that speed. So I upgraded the brakes (131135 PR 45.2) and was able to pass 8.6 without a problem. I did notice this did NOT make the bots slower based on the positioning of the first 3 at the start. I did notice a substanstial difference in how the car handled and it seemed to have more bite coming out of the corners, which is what the car needs.

So long story short, if you are struggling, try adding tires first, then brakes. Makes a world of difference on Hong Kong.
