8.4 with PR 90.6 the goal was 354.7kph. Won on the 5th attempt. As many have said, it's all in the braking towards the turn. Passed the flag at 355.02kph, barely making it.

8.5 is impossible at this PR. The fastest I've got was 273kph at the finish line, twice, and that's both with me getting to the lead by the 2nd turn. Average speed entering the first straight was 207kph (other attempts as low as 194kph). Hit 281kph average at the end of the straight with the trees and the sharp right turn (other attempts as low as 274kph at this point). Skipped it after nearly 2 hours of trying.

8.6 Also impossible at this PR. I SWEAR I'VE REACHED 440kph on the first straight a few times (exactly 440) but it never registered, still 0 of 4. Tried about 5 times but never hit the goal. '''I'm guessing the actual goal is 274mph, which is only converted to kph and rounded down. Depending on how many significant digits FM uses (definitely not 1.6 since it's only 438.4kph). It might be either 440.866 (multiplied by 1.609) or 440.960 (multiplied by 1.609344).''' Skipped it too.

I only had 117 GC left (after spending 465 GC on upgrades). I had an option to buy the 75 GC Body stage 3 upgrade AND the R$414,200 stage 4 to reach around 91.7(?) PR, those may have helped me hit 275kph average and pushed me past 441kph, but those are not guaranteed. Spent the 80 GC on the two skips instead. First time I skipped on a challenge, hmph. Only started playing last August and have reached 84% completion with 122/146 cars. If the challenges next update are unwinnable with strictly R$ upgrades only, I'm done with this game.
