Mugwumps I think Jan means well. His videos are helpful for line and braking. And he is legitimately fast. Alien fast. I have tried to keep up with him in TT Ghost Challenges with fully upgraded cars, and while it usually gets me into Group A (early series that I have been going back to), I am still way off his times.

That being said, there are some inconsistencies in his videos for this event. The initial screen shows the Crown and Unlimited Drive of a fully upgraded car, and then cuts to an minimally upgraded car, though BRL and amounts matched on both screens. You can see this in his Video for 4.2 and 5.2. Maybe it is two devices and he is practicing initially with an FU car and then using the other device to record the run with a minimally upgraded car, but if that isn't the case, then an expectation is being set that Events should be easier than they actually are, even for a top 0.1% player.

I am no where near that good at the game, but what I tried to do yesterday that with a 3333333 car you can run Spa in 2:03. I barely make it, though, as I explain, there is probably an extra second for starting P2 instead of P1 and avoiding Silvia.

I will caveat all this by saying I have learned from Jan's videos and from Ghost Challenging, but if the videos don't show the actual upgrades, then it is hurting instead of helping. Most people could upgrade Fully and still not run as fast as Jan in a TT with a far less upgraded car, but it doesn't help to think they are worse than they actually are.
