If you are using the videos to learn line and improve, that is fine. I did say that I thought that one of the Video Makers is genuinely interested in teaching players how to improve.

The problem is that most players do not try to improve or practice. They only see the videos as evidence that they should be able to pass the event with the same upgrades and feel cheated when they are not. It takes away from their enjoyment or sense of accomplishment in the game because they feel that if they aren't passing with minimal upgrades they are being cheated.

As for 8.2, you can pass it easily with all 3's (1.1 PR lower than recommended) and come in second without having to do the stupid crash into the walls thing. You can actually run the race as a race (imagine that in a racing game), getting well over the required average speed, instead of having to run a demolition derby. This is a racing game after all. There are other car games on the market that let you score points for crashing into things and doing aerial tricks. Go play them if you think that is a good thing.
