Tips / Warnings

• Be careful of many of the tests in Lab 004, as many of them have a No Wrecks subgoal, often in tandem with a race time goal.
  • For this reason, it is highly recommended to avoid taking detours for extra Quality Checks in order to beat the race time(s) provided.
• The minimum tune required to beat the final Ultimate AI Challenge is [5515 5051]. This requires triple-boosting,  3,630,825 and 31 V8 Engines.
  • As the event gives 16 V8 engines, this leaves 15 to be obtained by other means.
  • As of the Fast Lane Update, this tuning requires 50 V8 Engines, and 34 of them must be obtained through other means.

Trivia

• The test and lab layout of the Arash AF10's R&D would later be reused for the R&D events of the Pagani Huayra BC, Apollo Intensa Emozione, Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR my2017, Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4, TVR Sagaris Special Edition (with a slight difference of the penultimate Ultimate AI Challenge being at Test .050. instead of Test .052.) and McLaren 600LT.
• The second relaunch in the Munich Update of the Arash AF10’s R&D was originally intended for the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR my2017‘s event, however, due to potential licensing issues, the Arash AF10’s event was revived instead.
  • The Aprilia's event would later be released as part of the Fifth Anniversary Update but only for countries where Aprilia is licensed.
• Prior to the Lamborghini Centenario LP 770-4's R&D, this event was widely regarded as the game's hardest R&D.
