I have a newle tweaked strategy for bot slowing, or at least it's new to me!

We all know you can use Endurance races to drastically slow down the bots. What I do now is keep 1 Endurance race unfinished until the last race in the series. Whenever the bots get too fast, I go back and slow them down. You guys who want to race as hard as you want to can, but if it gets too hard you can slow them down again.

I DON'T race as hard as I can becasue I hate waiting on car servicing. Using this method I can win almost all races with an unserviced car. When the bots get too fast, I go back and slow them down again. My only troubles are Daytona where the bots brake very little if at all & LeMans when there's a larger pack; can't block forever on those super long straight sections!

 IMPORTANT:  I make sure I am always last place (8th) in the Endurance race. When I have finished 2nd or 3rd, I can't go back and slow them down again. Maybe it's an Android thing, but once I get any trophy the level is locked in. The bots can get faster, but I can't get them slower.

 EXAMPLE:  Take a 20 lap 43 car Richmond race for example: With PR 57.1 in a 2016 NASCAR, there was one time I couldn't pass one car with an unserviced car. I went and ran Endurance until everyone one was at 1.7 km (will say 1.0 miles if you run that way). I went back to the same Richmond race, same unserviced car, same PR. I was in the lead after 3 laps. I caught the back of the field by lap 8. I had lapped everyone by lap 12. I then lapped over half the field a 2nd time (harder to lap when they get more spread out).

The trick is to ALWAYS pass on the outside. You get a HUGE run in the corners. Then you force your way into traffic (keep your nose clean) and force one car to stay behind you for a push. Next corner you do the same thing. You have to brake pretty hard at the entrance to the corner or your loose car will just smack the wall!

BTW; Exact same strategy at Indy, but I never brake unless I am getting back into traffic too hot. You HAVE to keep someone behind you on the straights or you will lose to many places. You may lose 3 to 4 on some straights, but you should be able to pass 10+ at the next 2 corners.
