Any tipps on how to survive there for a longer time? This is my favorite race. I never got a chance to run it when it truly was perpetual. It is now theoretically perpetual, but mauch too hard in reality. You have to run crazy hard, powering through crashes, without getting touched!

Here are my tips for success;

Settings: Tilt B, BA off, TC off, SA on HIGH, sensitivity on 0

Tilt A is no good here for me. If I start to slide with Tilt A, I keep on sliding. My only options are full gas or full brakes. Tilt B lets me coast. That is often all I need after a major steering action to avoud a crash.

SA HIGH helps me here with those delicate, fine movements that are needed. Indy Speedway and Daytona Speedway are now the only places I run SA HIGH. Thise goes hand in hand with the sensitivity setting. Need slight, smooth movements.

Technique: Look as far down the track as you can see as much as possible. When you see a group of cars heading into a corner, there's a good chance there will be a crash just after that corner. The bots ALWAYS want to go right to the wall after every corner. If you or any other car is in the way, there will be a crash. After a crash cars will stay high for a bit, but then all bets are off. I like to be close to a potential crash as I know what they'll do at first.

Once you can't hit 389 kph (241 mph), your race will be over soon. You may get lucky and have a huge pack of cars that spits out victims... but you won't be able to catch much.

Here's my way of running the race. I go backwards at the start to delay the chaos. As a result, I don't get the crazy traffic until about 50 km. My best is 297 km (after FM changed things).
