to all saying 10.6 is impossible.

It is not. Everyone can do it with R$upgrades only,

you just need to use 10.3 Endurance (easiest way) to slow down the bots (initial 1st place was 10.3km, dropped them till 3.0km and then went for it).

Then at 10.6 with nissan (my first car) this allowed me to reach 1st place in 1st lap somwhere near Mulsanne or so (from memory). and rach finish with +6km ahead, so could go grab a coffee, and after still wait to cross the line.

However assume you don't use the slow the bots technique, I still think it would be possible with R$ only, for ALL cars, only it will require some GOOD driving skills (I was able to reach weekly TT in top 250-300 almost every week using fully upgraded cars (cloud save before - buy all gold-ugrades plus skip cost - do TT - recover cloud save to get the gold back - your fast time is kept/uploaded).

my reference is RR-guru video of 10.6 on youtube, where first car did 15:14 something, which had fastest lap of 2:53.x (RRG 10:47 however with GC-upgrades even, but he drove more off-track than on track in the corners, also he was relying on his brakes too much, which were fading).

In the nissan I pushed one lap just to get an idea on a fast lap time, and got near 2:49.0, without any off-track, and without using any brakes (still not a perfect lap imo)

I was using my reference brake-points for toyota, to go off the gas, and use engine-break, which is as effective at higher speeds that normal brake, maybe on slow corners like Arnage (maybe mulsanne or indianapolis) a bit a extra braking could make an even faster lap.

2nd time in Audi I checked the time of the first lap at had 4:00 (no off-track) but was rather prudent overtaking cars in the beginning, and it's certainly possible to be 3, maybe 5 sec faster than that.

My 2nd lap I pushed for fast lap, and had 2:50. again not using brakes. (and no  off-track)

Also with the audi this was on my small android phone-screen (s4-mini), so on tablet, this will be about 1-2second faster.

so when doing the math on my laps without corner cutting:

nissan: 4min +4*2.49 = 15:16 (ipad)

audi: 4min+ 4*2:50 = 15:20 (phone, so on ipad at least 1 second faster per lap possible)

So if you then add a couple of corner cutting on the ford-chicanes near the finish, which makes your lap about 2 seconds faster,

then 15:14 from RRGuru video, is certainly beatable.

For the 3rd car Porsche, I try to finish the challenge without endurance slow down technique (will do cloud save to other profile before 10.3, to be on safe side)
