917K is in my garage (with my custom light blue/orange 'basic-shapes-only' vinyl Gulf livery) with 3333333. It's a little skiddy on the throttle, but a very good car to have.

I am quickly becoming aware that getting the car "for the cheapest" is becoming far less important than getting the car "for the least amount of headaches". For me, that means additional upgrades.

This car handles great, but 6.2 and 6.4 were difficult. Not because of the car, or because of the restrictions of the event, but BECAUSE OF THE BOTS.

In 6.2, I was able to meet the 229 mph goal, slow the car down for the chicane, and navigate through several times, only to be PIT'ed by the bot in 2nd place. It wasn't until I realized that the car in 2nd is NOT Delaney, and you don't have to defend 1st place, only 2nd place. Dragging the car against the wall on the right is a requirement - even a perfect run through Tertre Rouge will not get you to 229 AND leave you with enough road to slow down for the PlayStation Chicane.

On 6.4, it was the same thing. You have to be 100% aware of the Porsche 919 and where they decide to pass the Toyota, because it is not always the same spot. However, you HAVE to stay with them. The Porsche passed the Toyota as early as Mulsanne, but also as late as the entrance to the Corvette esses. At least twice, I got hung up on the Toyota's rear corner and lost the tailgate distance. On the run where I did pass (very late in Corvette esses), I ended up passing the Toyota on the right while the Porsche passed on the left. Once you are past the Toyota, it falls back very quickly.
