Going to need some credits to get the RB20, I'll probably just get it on my main account first, to test it vs the other RBs and only get it on the other accounts if it seems better in some way.

It's a bit painful to do, but I just scrolled down the summit to see the scores needed every 1000 places:
1000th 1391k
2000th 1366k
3000th 1347k
4000th 1333k
5000th 1320k
6000th 1308k
7000th 1295k
8000th 1281k
9000th 1263k
10000th 1242k

108k players are on the summit leaderboard. The lowest participation event is the one you need the Terzo for, with 29k.

My feeling is that with how close the scores are every 1000 places, there are significantly more than 10k people putting in a decent attempt to get the Nevera Time Attack.

We still need to download the update + probably a maintenance after that.

I was wrong thinking 1.2 would be enough. I first tried the Summit without a full nitro set and with my skills I just can't get past 1.25m (with the full set I can get 1.35m). That and Terzo being expensive lead me to believe 1.2m would be enough. Obviously I was wrong.
I also forgot how difficult a Summit is for those that are not fast enough. While those that are constantly in the top 5k think how easy this Summit is those that are around 10k are fighting for every millisecond. And one can only imagine how disappointed one can be finding himself in 10001st spot after putting hours into it.
I still believe Summits should be score based not position based. And the person who run the media for Ivory should stop saying stuff like "don't miss the opportunity to get the latest Summit car" and instead says something like "are you one of the top 10% fastest players that can get the car? No? Get gud!!" 🤣

This weeks summit has been one of the harder ones I've redone them a few times just to be sure I'd make it and ended up in the top 6k with 1.3k points

Yes, it's a tricky one. One thing that killed Forza Motorsport for me is the absence of the bounty hunter rivals. It was the only element of FM7 I enjoyed. But for the majority of people, the challenge is never set at the right level. For me, getting platinum in Motorfest is too easy, for others it will be impossible. The number of people that get the right level of challenge from it, where it takes some effort, but is achievable, will be a small proportion of the player base. All the same, for me personally, I prefer it over FH5 participation based gameplay, which for me is just a boring chore. Wreckfest at one point changed from a similar system to Motorfest, to a score-based target, and it killed the game for me.

But for the top 5000 it already is a participation trophy. And if they put a score to reach you could still experiment with different combinations. And I don't mean make it easy. Put a hard to reach score.
The thing is, if I know the target I know how hard I need to go from day one. Instead now I have no clue. Will 1.3m be enough? I need to work, study, rest... on Tuesday night so I can't check.. Or the guy in 10005 spot can have the same score as the guy in 10000 feeling like someone robbed him.
Bounty hunter rivals worked like a hard score if I'm not mistaken. You needed to beat a ghost to get top prize. Or not?

Have you watched a video to see the cuts? There are a few that save quite a bit of time. I didn't do all the resets that Trigger advocates, as I can't be bothered to memorise that I should reset the 4th and 7th corners but not the 5th and 6th or whatever, but I used the major cuts and got 1.42m.

Another tip I'd give is don't gutter too much. In a hypercar, putting two wheels on the dirt scrubs a huge amount of speed off, so you want to keep all 4 wheels on the tarmac unless you need the loss of speed to take the corner.

You had to beat a celebrity, and they were sometimes very good, I think you had to be in the top 1% for some of them. The celebrity could keep improving their time, though I think they generally refrained from trying to improve their time too close to the end.

Oh, yeah now I remember. Beating Newgarden the first day just to end up 5 sec behind 3 days later. I never beat him the last day. 😭
