I don't know why someone would mention it for 7.3. In an Endurance race, if you do a U-turn and run the course backwards the distance is also reduced. This was handy in Spa, on a previous challenge, as you could keep running up and down Eau Rouge, to keep an average speed high, without increasing the distance travelled, therefore keeping the AI low. Possibly in normal endurance races reversing doesn't reduce the distance, but FM have fixed reversing for this event, therefore you could have tried reaching 13 miles and then reversed to lower AI(?)

For me the 1st placed bot was 5.2 mi Ivanov, which is irrelevant, as 13 mile is the minimum. I tried not to pass the bots, until I had 80 seconds or less, so I didn't waste any time, except for the blast down the straights to get 210 mph, I held back by the Dunlop bridge so give a good gap to the the bots, then had a good run down the straights. Even then I wasted some time, but I still had 30 seconds remaining at 13 mile, I stopped and waited.
