Just got this as a RD and I suspected with the first couple test this is not a event I  will attempt to finish. As a first for any RD I have done, the first 3 keys did not complte the first 3 test, just one and a half. I could not find one more car to bump for the third wreck. There were no upgrades I could do before the first race, no big deal but when all the cars went the slower route and I went the faster they were never to be seen.

Now that I have finished a test I can see the Pro upgrades will be slow sledding. Each require three I3 engines of which I have zero. Sure I will get a couple in the boxes but also as certain it won't be nearly enough. And of course, no free upgrades so everything gonna cost, especially the TOUs.

If you do have the desire to win this thing, based on others won I would guess it won't be hard if you have the credits, tokens and engines. I base this on the low starting value and the high +101 (from above) for the tune kit. A large delta between stock and upgrade means it does not require a lot of spending on QCs and a high tune kit value almost guarantees you beat the AI.

In the last year the only two I did not win, though got to the final AI was the AIE and the Arash. Ran out of engines for the AIE and though I was trying to keep the stat low, could not drift that loop to the ramp fast enough. I think I would have needed to MaxPro that Arash to win that and just gave up after 2 attempts. The AIE stung a little but generally enjoyed the attempt.
