Stage 8: Qualifying.  Well, this has got to be the lamest stage in all the events to date, including RTLM and Speedrush.  The monkeys must have given up trying. No creativity, no variety, no interest. I would have expected more - much more - for a Stage 8.  5 challenges, all at Catalunya:

Challenge 1: 1 lap. Place within top 16, no damage (grid of 22)

Challenge 2: 1 lap. Place within top 10, no damage (grid of 20)

Challenge 3: 1 lap. Place within top 3, no damage (grid of 18)

Challenge 4: Elimination

Challenge 5: Head to Head

Completion bonus: 20 GC

Remember with the first three challenges to first try to place 1st for the gold medal regardless of damage, then retry for the goal if you do get damage during that attempt.

Good luck!
