HOLY CRAP, THIS R&D!

I started fairly optimistic and upgraded it to 1700+ in the first lab already. Until Lab 4, first AI it worked out perfectly. Then I lost here and there, spent 35tk to save QCs, but nothing to big.

Then Test 48. This shit cost me so much tries... But I made it yesterday and continued to 56 points on test 49, so only 1 race to complete.

This morning, 1.5 hrs left, finished that and have 2 tries for the last AI. Car at 2/5/2/3 and 5/3/5/4. First race I crashed at the start... Second Race, Double Boost, and I was behind quite some time (3 secs). So I bought 3 new keys and tried again with triple boost, but no chance... So wasted time, credits and token? No. With 1 hour left, I bought double credits and farmed the hell out of the LT mastery 15. 3/5/2/4 after 20 minutes. Another 15 for PRO 5/3/5/5. Shall I go for 5/4/5/5? I decided to do so, I should have 10 minutes left. So at 3/5/2/4 and 5/4/5/5 now and what I thought to be 10 minutes are now just FOUR!

I never navigated through the menu so quick I think. The first race really let me down... 1 second behind. Constantly, from start on, .5 already and I messed up one U turn.

Now into the second last, maybe even last, race for me. This time I went triple boost at the start. No idea why I haven't done that before. And I'm even with the AI! Felt my pulse rising. U turns. That's where it was gonna be decided. 1st one: Perfect! 2nd one: ouch, hit the wall. AI caught up, we're nose to nose. Third turn. This was gonna be deciding. I hit the turn really well, but nito'd just a TICK to early and therefore I went too far out and missed the orange nitro at the start of the tunnel... FUCK! Ok, but I might make it to the end of the tunnel! ... No, I did not. I was ahead a bit, but as soon as my nitro stopped, the AI got me. Ok, some nitro again. I made it to the first turn with the 4 boosters and hit 3 of them, while evening with the AI. My nitro count was ok again! A very tight drift in the second last turn gave me a very slight edge over the AI. Last turn. I see the rock on the right. Whatever I do, I must not hit that thing! A far drift. Too far? Did I take it too safe? No time to think. Just triple boost out of the drift and hope for the best. I can't even tell you whether I saw the AI there... Finish line, and... 1!!!! With barely 0.1 seconds I beat it, YESSSS!

What a close R&D. Also the first one I finished for a car better than B-Class.

Couldn't be happier rn.

(I know the car isn't the best, but my current best car it the Lykan in S and probably the LT in General)
