Randy, Germ et al,

My best effort with the FXX K is over 500 miles.

The crucial part of the race is the bit you are talking about, the first 30 miles/29 laps.

I've got the Porsche and the Ferrari the play with. The Ferrari wins hands down. I've had one success with the 918, further up, and multiple successes with the Italian.

My tuppence, FWIW, is a very aggressive, but accident-free first ten laps. No hitting the tyre walls, barriers, or rear-ending the bots as you exit the first chicane. Maximum time gain required. Cut all the corners available, and give no quarter. The bots lean off at the five lap mark, but by the 11/12, you should get the "4 ahead" as you get to the start/finish straight by 12 miles.

I've just done a very scrappy run in the FXX. It was 14 miles before the "4 bot" phenomena arrived, & a further 20 miles before the yellow 90 secs appeared. After that, the bots come in predictable waves, sometimes 2 per lap, others up to 5 per lap.

The advice to go "flat out from the start" is the crucial bit.

And FXX K, not 918. The MP4X thing, at 300 fame per lap, ain't worth the time.
