During the course of the entire challenge, I noticed I was getting easier bots (in most cases) as I went. Because of where you are now, the thing I would try (to keep damage to your car to a minimum to avoid lots of service time) is start 6.3, then as soon as you can, go off track. Then keep repeating this. This is not a method of bot slowing I would normally use, but it has worked to some extent for me in the past when I had no other option. I don't remember if there's an option for retry, but if so, don't use it. Exit the race and redo it. Once you see if this works for you, go on to the next challenges, but remember to keep your wins very close. I try to never win a race by more than 100 to 200 yards depending on the track. If you get, and keep the bots slowed enough, you shouldn't have any problem with the other two events you mentioned. Remember, even though those other cars are a lot faster, you are only required one less lap than they are.

I got all the high end bots in my races. I think the bot names are fixed, but they are still affected by slowing. So if you see Periwinkle, Auralpod, Miceorman, etc., That doesn't necessarily mean you can't beat them, or will have a hard time.

Never mind, I just completed 6.3 and 7.1 without any difficulty. Now my cow* is on servicing and looking forward to it. I do always get the best bots like auralpod, Rattlesnack and stuff. I never in my entire playtime actually slowed down bots. Challenges are always fun. 7.2 will be easy and just one more doubt : For 7.3, does doing donuts count as skidding?

Thanks!


 * As Sick Racer calls the 375s!

Oops! I meant the 7.4 event (Endurance with 20 seconds of skids)
