Just finished season 8's Venice two laps track in 2:29 with my fastest car, a max pro BMW Hommage, unboosted. Divided by two makes roughly 1:15 per lap.

I'm planning to upgrade my Apollo IE to 0505 5050 which will make it go more than 10 km/h faster than the Hommage if used with a tuning kit. I think there's hope for me to beat the final AI's 1:09. :-)

I've just finished Lab 2 with 0504 0000, but upgraded the car to pro 4050 now. Three engines missing, but Im confident I'll get them. I don't want to repeat the mistakes I made during the Hommage R&D where I upgraded all the wrong categories at the wrong times and then, when I had finally reached higher upgrade levels, I wasn't used to such a fast car that began to fly at places where no other car of mine did that before, making the Hommage extremely difficult to handle for me. I didn't know these Wiki pages, I didn't know any videos, and when I reached the final AI, I had run out of time. With the level 5 top speed upgrade still missing, I saw no way to beat the final AI, so I decided to spend my very last tokens to skip the last test. Bad feeling, though. But the Hommage served me well in TLEs from then on.

Er – what did I want to say? Ah, yes, a big thank you to all the people here and their invaluable advice! Without you, I wouldn't have reached lab 3 with so few resources spent, and I noticed a vast improvement of my skills because of your useful tips.
