I have already been reduced to as a result of all the failed attempts (more than 10), meaning I couldn't Auto-Test, so I had no choice but to drop out of the event.

The Fenyr R&D actually was easier since it didn't have a test as stupid and awful as the GT's Test 048 (however, the Knockdown and Infected tests still screwed me over occassionally), plus I already had F6 Engine cards left over from events prior to the R&D and managed my time and upgrades more wisely. At the end of the R&D event, my Fenyr was ranked S1761 (5515 5353; I didn't upgrade the handling until after the R&D because the handling is too sensitive anyway) but is now MAX+PRO.

I know Monaco actually isn't bad, but the traffic at the hairpins will more often than not screw me over. As for Fr. Guiana Rev., the beginning part totally messes me up 95% of the time.

Imagine how the R&D would have been if they had used Test Site: Omega for the final test. The reasons why I dropped out on round 1 of the Egoista R&D (December 2015~January 2016) are because I got the wrong pro upgrade configuration (while Tires were at Lv5, the Drivetrain wasn't) and I didn't even play the track enough in the Exclusive Metal Events to practice it since I'm more used to Class B+ cars. When the first Egoista R&D ended, my Egoista was S1733 (5555 5343), which was the same rank I entered round 2 of the Egoista R&D (May 2016). When I did round 2, I successfully won the car and even got video proof thanks to v2.4.0 adding ReplayKit support. However, the only tests that really screwed me over were Tests 026 (Nevada Reverse Infected), 055 (Tokyo Infected), and 064 (Iceland Reverse Classic). Other than that, I actually beat the final AI without any restarts on round 2 with the car ranked at S1760 (5555 5554). All my practice on Test Site: Omega with a MAX+PRO Mosler GT3 had paid off.

The C 63 R&D was not too bad for me. While I did get the car to A1673 (5555 3333), which was 81 points below the final AI's recommended rank of 1754, I still won the car thanks to the London teleportation glitch. I also have video proof of me winning the C 63 R&D.

This is my personal difficulty ranking (hardest to easiest; any cars marked with an "(X)" means I have not cleared its R&D yet):
 * 1) Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4 (X)
 * 2) GT by CITROEN (X)
 * 3) BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage (X)
 * 4) W Motors Fenyr Supersport
 * 5) Lamborghini Egoista (won on second try)
 * 6) Mosler Super GT (X)
 * 7) Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé Touring Car 2014
 * 8) Peugeot SR1
 * 9) ED Design Torq
 * 10) Alfa Romeo 4C
