It's been ~3 weeks since I got the game and I have 99 events to go, if I counted right.  That means 120 or so done.  I thought I was closer than that, but I know I'm past halfway anyhow.  I gave up on trying to make the races fair and just started using R1 cars in the open events and blasting past the F class crapmobiles to get the races over with.  Also, I hate racing against M. Rossi in the Veyron.  It's so hard to beat him on a fast track, even if he does go off the road a lot.
