I was able to get through 4.1 fairly quickly and 4.2 with a number of retries with 1111111.

Then for 4.3, I was just not able get through The Bus Stop fast enough to pass. Upgraded to PR100.7 (1222222), and after a number more tries I save a few seconds on the rest of the course and came in about a second under.

4.4 took some retries, but not too bad. The slipstreaming can change your brake points and lose your grip, so you have to be a bit careful. I usually take the outside line at La Source, but here, because I saw after a few attempts that I needed to catch up with Zoé on Kemmel Straight to have any hope of getting 1,500m and then not have to deal with the bad effects of slipstreaming, I muscled my way through the center, came out 3rd or 4th, then blew past them at Eau Rouge, giving me enough speed to pick up Zoé's draft on the Kemmel. I was at about 1,350m at Les Combes, so I stayed with her a little longer and when it ticked to 1,500m I worked past her between turns 8 and 9. Then it was just a matter of not skidding or getting passed.

If you haven't run a lot of NASCAR Events, Slipstream gives you a push from behind as well as a pull when you are behind a car. This can unsettle the car, so be prepared for it. Zoé is fast, but she still exhibits her weakness of not being a great passer, so you can brake a little earlier, and she isn't going to get a great run on you to pass or try and pit you.

One thing I will say, the car felt a lot better at 1222222 than at 1111111. There was more opportunity to attack the track at 1222222 and be more aggressive in turns. This is one car were the upgrades are making a significant difference.
