** 5505 0020 is also a viable option for players who have less skills. This requires more Credits with  ( more) with a trade-off of a lower engine card requirement of only 2 . 
** Both of above mentioned tunes are not valid for re-run of the event during July 2019. AI times were reduced significantly and several other races were made tougher. To complete the event without auto-testing, the player must tune the car to + , this requires , 40 of each Class C parts, 36 Early Tech, 36 Initial Tech, 28 Mid Tech and 60 Hybrid Engines.
**The rerun in the Fifteenth Anniversary Update now requires , 15 of each , , , , 60 and .
**The reruns don't give out any parts and techs as rewards so the only way to obtain is to open box(es) (Legacy box(es) in the case of the Fifteenth Anniversary Update rerun) the player currently have.
== Trivia ==
* Unlike other car-based R&Ds, this event does not feature Flawless or Knockdown tests.
** The Alfieri's R&D follows those of the Alfa Romeo 4C (pre-Rio de Janeiro Update), Lamborghini Huracán, and Yamaha YZF-R6 in being an R&D event without a Flawless test.
