For my experience in running Enduro's I always do the following, which requires multiple runs to get the maximum distance. (Except for the P1 GTR Indy Enduro)

Run #1 - Go in reverse until the clock hits 48s, and the pedal to the medal. No collision and no-off track here, and I want to see a couple things. First how many times to get the clock past 90s, and near the end of the race how many more bots are there that I could see, and if I'm close to another lap.

Run #2 to forever....

From there I adjust how many more secs I go in reverse at the start. If I hit 90s easily then I might go in reverse until 35s... and try again. "This is the manage the clock part of the race", as I can run full speed without watching the clock much and just concentrate on my braking points and racing line.

But most of the time you will find that it's better to take off a bit earlier as near the end you might only need one more bot to get to the start line again, or there is a pack of 3 bots just ahead. So I adjust my start time to allow myself to go over the 90s clock so I will be further along in distance at the end, in the hopes I can catch those bots. "This is the not managing the clock part of the race".

Doing it this way, all I have to do is write down my optimal reverse time at the start and then go full out. For each driver this optimal reverse time will be different, plus you get a little extra distance at the start.
