Tips / Warnings

• The minimum tune required to complete the event is 0500 0050. This requires only 489375 489,375 and 8 Hybrid Engines, but the player must be extremely skilled, as the car has a moderately wide drifting radius, more so than the Sbarro Sparta. (Gameplay by Alex Letizia finishing the R&D with this tune here)
  • 5505 0020 is also a viable option for players who have less skills. This requires more Credits with 1012725 1,012,725 (523350 523,350 more) with a trade-off of a lower engine card requirement of only 2 Hybrid Engines. 
  • Both of above mentioned tunes are not valid for re-run of the event during July 2019. AI times were reduced significantly and several other races were made tougher.

Trivia

• Unlike other car-based R&Ds, this event does not feature Flawless or Knockdown tests.
  • The Alfieri's R&D follows those of the Alfa Romeo 4C (pre-Rio de Janeiro Update), Lamborghini Huracán, and Yamaha YZF-R6 in being an R&D event without a Flawless test.
