Just completed this thing, about 26 hours after starting it, but had waited until I could put some quality time into it. Probably ~5 hours total game time. 3 engineers, a bunch of services (accelerated by ads - I don't count doing that as part of the game time). No bot slowing, except I try to not win by too much. No assists for any event. Level 1 upgrades only. By the finale all the other cars had better speed than me, which made it a challenge, and meant that a number of events needed a serviced car (specifically events where you had to hold a certain position). I could run events with unserviced cars if the goal was just a certain finishing position, but had to plan carefully because I was always getting passed on the straights. For example, if goal was to finish 11th, then come around the final curve in 9th and let 2 cars by.

8.3 - I didn't find it hard at all. Maybe because I hadn't slowed the bots? Needed a serviced car to hold the position, but there was enough separation to hold 19th through the first chicane without much difficulty.

Also, did the Monza TT in one try. Goal was 1:26 and ran a 1:25.8 :)

I found staying to the left, not the right, was the best way to pass the pack in the first chicane, and that keeps you from running wide on the exit. You need to be very careful with the braking point going in, but the track has good markings just where you need them.

The hardest event was the 10 lap, no off track, grande finale. The lead bot ran its fast lap in 1:24-1:25 and best I could manage was low 1:23s. It was a race pretty much the whole way and I had a lot of trouble not going off track with all the passing at speed. Had to do a bunch of cloud restores. Otherwise didn't do any in the event.

The '20 skids' and '3 donuts' events are super annoying.

Wish I had somewhere else to drive the car, but the only thing unlocked is Racing Spirit.
