First stage focuses on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4. It doesn't have too much grip. You should take advantage from its top speed. Try to take all the corners nice and easy, it skids easily. Braking is pretty OK but acceleration isn't good.

RR3 Michael P wrote: To get to 1st quickly, cut the grass at turn 1.

Event 1.1: Cup at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Road course - Win this event

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Normally the first day is straight forward, and can be completed without upgrades, I recommend stage 1 upgrades. In these races the player will drive the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. The into mentions Monza.

Guillejarque wrote:

Pretty much a ride rather than a race; if you can't get lead by cutting the first chicane, try it in the next one, surely there you will find the first place.

Event 1.2: Cup at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Juniour course - Finish any lap with an average speed of 100 mph (160 kph)

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): There is nothing about winning, so just cross the line with an average 100 mph (160 kph) speed, if the average is high slow down on the finish straight.

Guillejarque wrote:

You can try to stick behind some bot with your pace at Parabolica and then full throttle in the straight. Corners 1, 2& 3 are kinda difficult, the perfect racing line is inside-outside-inside.

Event 1.3: Cup at Autodromo Nazionale Monza - Road course - Win this event

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Into mentions racing against a Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe, an inferior car, remember to win by a small margin.

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Intro states a Lamborghini HURACÁN LP 610-4 for a few events, this maybe the first opartunity to start upgrades. If the event is a Time Trial don't set a fast time, expect to beat the time in the future.

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Sounds like cross cup and Speed Snap or Speed Record, reach first and slow down the bots, then get a good exit out of the last turn to cross the at or just above 134 mph (216 kph), but still win.

** After 2.4 service the HURACÁN and consider waiting several minutes to start level 2 upgrades because 2.5 is in Gallardo.

Virags wrote: Car : Lamborghini HURACÁN LP 610-4. I ended up holding the other driver behind me by braking at the 3rd last turn for about a minute. This made the total lap time well above 3 minutes to slow bots down in the future. Make sure you get the last turn right, i slowed down in the end to cross at 136 mph.

Goal 2.5 Cup at Porsche Test Track - On-road Circuit (Long) [1 lap] - Win the race with an average speed of 80 mph (128 kph)

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Reach an average speed of 80 mph (128 kph) and come 1st. If possible slow on the finish straight to win by a small margin, but maintain the average speed.

Virags wrote: Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 : 2 Laps - Circuit De Catalunya

Started on the left of the grid and made a sharp right at the first turn to cut of the leader. No trouble after that for me.

Guillejarque wrote:

Win by the smallest margin. Once you have overtaken them all, slow the cars by blocking them on corners 7 and 8, the two hairpins.

Event 3.2: Cup at Circuit de Catalunya - Club Circuit [3 Laps] - Win this event OR skid for 6 seconds and come at least 6th

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Skidding for 6 seconds is better for slowing the bots. Probably still using the Gallardo.

Virags wrote: Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 : 3 Laps - Circuit De Catalunya''' ''' Turned off TC and was able to skid 6 seconds by the 2nd turn. Purposely came 6th to slow both downs instead of winning.Gallardo needed servicing after this race.

Guillejarque wrote:

There's a trick where supposedly you can slow down the bots as much as you want (till you get tired). Skid during turns 1, 2 and 3 of the 1st lap, doesn't matter if you go off-track. Then, when you've skid your 6 seconds, stop in front of 7th bot. Be patient.

Event 3.3: Cup at Circuit de Catalunya - National Circuit [2 Laps] - Win this event

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Win using the HURACÁN. If possible PIT and hold up the bots.

Again started on the left, sharp right on the first turn to cut the leader. kept slowing and PIT ing bots as much as possible. Win time for me was 2:56:024. HURACÁN needed servicing after this race.

Lamborghini HURACÁN LP610-4 : 2 Laps - Circuit De Catalunya

Pretty easy race since i had slowed down the bots, I actually reached an average speed of 93mph and slowed down to finish at 85mph. Dont forget to service the Hurracan, you ll need it for Day 4.

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Goal reads: "Strong brakes need to be matched with a high top speed to ensure victory, so win this race while crossing the finish line at no more than 32 mph (52 kph), braking heavily before the end. This should be easier with a steering setup that favours coasting" (Tilt A), a good lead is required before the end to allow heavy breaking or coasting to the line, with a maximum speed of 32 mph (52 kph).

Virags wrote: Did the lap normally, no Pit or slow down bots. Just slowed down at the end to cross the line below 32mph. The lap is pretty big, took me over 2 minutes to finish the lap so enough time to build a lead and slow down at the finish.

I chose the Short Circuit, Target time for Autocross was 31 Seconds which is easy , the tricky bit was to slow down to less than 20 mph at the finish line. I choose to brake at the end instead of stop as accelerate as the HURACÁN’s acceleration is crazy fast. Manual accelerate may help for this race. I finsihed in 29 secs and crossed at less than 15mph.

Easy race again, i reached avg speed of 104mph and slowed down to cross around 95mph avg speed. Be careful if / when slowing down at the end, I lapped some opponents but the second place bot came really close ( within 100 yards) of me and i almost lost the race.

 Service the HURACÁN for Day 7  to face Magnus.

Virags wrote: HURACÁN [R$ Upgrades only (PR 56.3)] - 6 Laps - Monza Jnr - Fame - 2,200 - R$- 14,590

This stage is much tougher than earlier stages. I had to quit & retry 4- 5 times. I would say this is the second most difficult race of Stage 07 after 7.4 because you can quit and retry the cup to slow the bots down which helps in winning the race. If you are not in the top 5 by the first straight in lap one, I would suggest restarting as top bots would pull away from you on the straights. The top bots do lap the other opponents in the last lap so they slow down giving you a chance to overtake them in the last lap.

Tilt B is mandatory for this race and I am beginning to hate FM forcing the control types on you now. Finish the race before you run out of fuel. I chose the Gallardo because it has better fuel economy (just kidding). I used the GT3 (PR 56.2) and had lot of fuel left when I finished the race but used up all bars of the GT3. Did not service, all the races after this in Stage 07 are with the HURACÁN. Second easiest race of Stage 07 though I found it tough as am no used to Tilt B.

Virags wrote: HURACÁN [R$ Upgrades only (PR 56.3)] - 1 Lap - Monza - Fame - 400 - R$- 2,555

I found this the most difficult race of Stage 07. Need a top speed of 180mph in one lap .I tried at least 10 times but always crossed the finish line at an agonizing 179mph. So I decided to slow the bots down as much as I can, pitted Magnus at the start of the race on first turn , then on the first straight turned of all assists and let the car hit 180mph and bounced sideways into the wall. The bounce of the wall threw me back near the track where I could make it back in time. Don’t ram the wall head on, ram it sideways.

GreenSlowPokes wrote: Just a note of caution: for some of us (me at least using an Ipad2iOS 8.4.1), it is not possible to slow down times by quit/retry as it was in the past. It's strange because I know others can (I've seen them do it on youtube for Event 7.1. Throughout Day 7 events, it was impossible to slow down bot times (yes, I did give up after 40 quit/retries!). So I spent about 120 GC to upgrade, I just barely won this Event 7.4 with 15/28 Upgrades! Then since slowing bots did not work, I was forced to spend 3 x 35 GC just to finish the Event and earn the car. In the end, about 225 GCs for a rather crappy car! Hope you have better luck slowing down the bots!

<font color="#F08080">Start / End Strategy
The player has 7 days to complete the 7 stages, the event is 7 days x 24 hours. The first stage will start the time the player starts it, the last stage will end 7 x 24 hours later. As stage 01 is normally straight forward and can be completed without an upgrade or service, it can be started late in the day, it doesn't matter if stage 01 isn't completed the first day, it can continue the following day. The next stage 02, will unlock at midnight providing stage 01 is completed, stage 03 will unlock at midnight the following day, and so on up to stage 07, in total there will be 7 x 24 hours = 168 hours to complete all stages.

For example:

Start Sunday @ 7:30 PM the event will end 7 days x 24 hours later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM,

You need to choose the best time for you to start Ride The Storm event, or more importantly when is the best time for you to end the event!

RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race tip): Ideally, for racers who are busy Monday to Friday and have the weekend free, the best day and time to start is as late as possible Sunday, as long as it's before midnight, meaning stage 7 of the event can be completed over two days, the following Saturday and Sunday. It will be open for 6 weeks, as the next release is expected May 29th. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

<font color="#FFFF00">When is the last time I can start this Event?
The exact date is unknown, probably 7 days before the release is due to end, so May 19th, allowing 10 days to run this event.

The way FM display the date isn't very clear, they use a rounding factor. The days and hours remaining, to start, is changing at mid day or on the half hour. The closing date and time displayed is a cautious closing date and time. Keep an eye out for adverts to start the event and watch for a countdown to start. Once started the event can be run, even if it's closed to new racers.

<font color="#FFFF00">Will this event be added to the race career?
FM went though a spell of adding special events to the racing career, the last time a special event was added was September 2015 v3.6, NASCAR Academy was added directly to the NASCAR career, without previously being released as a Time Limited Event (TLE). Previous to that was April 2015 v3.3, with Redline: Origins and MotorFiesta 1. It is therefore unlikely this event will be added to the racing career.

<font color="#FFFF00">Will the car be available to win in the future?
The Lamborghini HURACÁN LP 610-4 is available to win if the challenge is completed in 7 days, the Lamborghini HURACÁN LP 610-4 is already available to purchase.
