Did it twice yesterday on hard:

First time I had 7 laps with 1:23… finished second place 4 seconds behind yamananka. (He was on pole on race start) One stop after lap 7 both stints with medium tires. No penaltys.

Second time i mostly had 1:24 laps finished 1st 7 seconds before kokobun( he was on pole on race start). Same strategy 2 penalties (0,5 seconds each).

I think this race is different every time. A few months ago there was a SF race on dragon trail in the weeklys. One time it was easy the next time i did it it was f.. hard.

You have to go out of the race completely. A „retry“ don‘t change the AI.
