Talk:Daytona 500: The Great American Race/@comment-117.223.154.12-20170226071441

Day 5 and Day 6 done today as I wanted to wait to see the events and recommended PR for the last day. I did the Day 5 at 50.4 and Day 6 and 51.5. w/ total GC spend of 171 GC (Body/Drivetrain and Engine only with next R$ upgrade also applied)

Day 5 is pretty easy at 50.4 although you barely scape by the time trial (45.956 vs 46). 5.4 needed few attempts initally as I tried too aggressively. Actually you got plenty of laps so do clean overtakes and you would be fine.

Day 6 first 2 were done quickly done 6.2 on second attempt as some drafting management is needed to catch the front group.

6.3 needed 3 attempts on succesfull attempt I bump drafted 10th place car and lifted when got too close. That helped me preserve fuel almost till the last lap. bruised the wall twice and lost some speed and finished 12th. else could have finished 10th or 11th w/ fuel running out almost over the line. A clean lap w/ continuous draft are the keys of winning here.

6.4 - 2 attempts needed as again tried too aggressively on first attempt and got pitted. here again you have plenty of laps to catch up and get 20th place. finished 19th and caught the group having 20th car just before last bend ahead of finish line.

I suspect this PR 51.5 should be enough for me to get through last day as only remaining gold update having top speed increase is exhaust, I dont think tires and brakes updates will help at all looking at the events (most of them with rolling start so acceleration would hardly help). Will add exhaust update at 60GC as worst case scenario. so car should be available at 141 GC or 81 GC which is quite fair deal (deducing the 90GC reward)
