Level 43:I finally got it after about 50 quit/retries! First thing I did was up my steering sensitivity to a 5. My fully upgraded car with tilt b, brakes off, TC on steering high. First, I really needed a good first lap. I was bumping into the sides of cars to sniff for any draft I could get to help work up through the pack. I noticed that I needed to lay back going into the first corner by lifting. If I tried super aggressive somone would pop down on me and wipe me out forcing a quit/retry. The same, perhaps worse, comes entering the third corner, so I also laid back there. I would lift and fall into line and that would keep me in the race. The few times I got this far, and under 20th place my car was severely damaged. This time I had a clean car and was able to work my way through the final pack by staying low. I always passed low BTW. Once past the final pack I was still going 212MPH and was able to easily track down the front 2 runners in the gap between the pack and them. Once I got their draft my 212mph momentum easily passed them. My lap after passing them I turned a 42.1, but slowly this went up and my speed dropped to 208. I finished with a lead of 450yds, mashed the brakes at the line to close that down to a 3 second win. I can't imagine doing it without my fully upgraded car. To recap, keep a clean car, watch for the choke points in the first lap, 3rd corner is worse, every sniff of draft is key. Trading paint side by side doesn't seem to hurt the car, but once some idjit spins in front of you the car, and your momentum, is toast. Quit retry is better than trying to salvage the run IMO. Noone answered my question if there are better drafters in your teammates. I don't know who those would be for the 43 car.
