After spending multiple hours yesterday (day 7 of the event) attempring to pass 8.5 I set it down for the evening and was going to sleep on and come to terms with skipping the event (which i have never done). I tried several combis of 1-2 upgrades above PR 90.0. My main issue was running off the track and ending my runs. I lost count of how many attempts ..... it was a lot, more than any other event i paricipated in. In the morning i figured i would give it a last ditch effort before resigning myself to skipping (to obtain the car which i invested substantial GC in already and not wanting to spend an additional 720GC in obtaining it through the showcase). To my surprise the taget was lowered substantially to 164mph and the bots seemed slower too, not much but enough to have clear road ahead before the musslanne. Anyway at PR90 18/26 upgrades 2E, 2DT, maxB, 2S, 2E, 3B, 3T - im lvl119, 12M R$, 1820GC (after these upgrades). I passed 8.5 relatively easily (omg what a grind of frustration, mostly at myself for not being able to keep the car in the track, learning new breaking points and reluctance to sik more GC into the vehicle because i am only at 123/146 cars with substantial GC investment ahead of me). I reached the 10 lapper several months ago so am well versed in the LM track and regularly race it at night with the Porsche 918 and turn consistent laps at 2:54.ish. Anyway, passed 8.5 and now 8.6 indicated same target of 274mph but inly twice instead of 4 times as it was written yesterday. Holy smokes! Might have a chance at completing this without skipping! 12 hrs left. Servicing. Gonna give it a go! More later ... maybe.
