Completed the event with 91.3.

Had to skip 8.5 (got fed up of trying multiple times, managed to get up to 2nd a few times but never close to winning - probably at least one extra GC upgrade short). If you're not 4th-5th by the time you leave the field and get back on the oval halfway the first lap, you might as well quit I reckon.

8.3 can probably be done with 90.6. I got to 234.36, target 234.37. Aaaargh! It's all about getting it perfect in the corner: approaching too slow won't leave you enough time on the straight, and approaching too quick and having to break too much will lose you speed to take onto the straight. The knowledge that I can take a really wide arc there without it counting as off track is handy for future challenges! (like 8.5 to start with) When I added a 75-gold Drive upgrade to go to PR 91.3, the target dropped to 233,8 and I passed easily with 235-236 mph.

Lot of complaints about 7.3 too but I enjoyed that one (PR 90.6). It's one of those where you improve, get to know the lines and the tricks the more you try and learn from earlier mistakes. And it gives you a fair chance, it's difficult but not unreasonable or impossible.

The maths: upgrading to 91.3 costs 344 GC (?) You get 90 gold back for completion, so that's 254 gold, 214 of those on the car. For a 950 GC car that -it being a Ferrari- most likely won't be featured in a sale, that's not too bad.
