TEST

Supercar Elites, 10.3: 5 laps of Indiapolis in the Agera.

Hugging the inside line, 'Distance traveled' increased 20.3 km.

Hugging the outside line, 'Distance traveled' increased 20.7 km.

I saved and restored the game between each race so the initial 'Distance traveled' started at the same number to minimise rounding errors.

Traveling on the outside line is around 80 m longer than the inside line. Looking at Google Maps, The outside line has a radius of around 250 m and the track is around 25 m wide. The outside line is around 392 m while the inside line is around 373 m for each corner, which works out to around 80 m for the entire lap. Interesting. Thanks for the input.

I wonder what it goes by when off-track?? In my tests I took it to extremes yet only had a 200m difference (inside line vs outside line). Perhaps it takes the outer and inner most on-track lines when you are off-track. So whether you are 1m off-track outer or 20m off-track outer, it counts you as driving on the outer most edge on-track. That would explain my experince of just a 200m difference. I don't think off-track changes changes anything.

TEST 1

Supercar Elites, 10.3: 5 laps of Indiapolis in the Agera.

Running as close to the inside wall as possible: 'Distance traveled' increased 19.9 km.

TEST 2

1 lap of Porsche Test Track Short:
