I looked through a few top teams and didn't see any. I was in a top 20 team and only one person on our team had a 373. A few were at 372, most @ 371, 370. So I'm guessing most people found it very hard. Even with maximum bot speeding (don't hear that too often) bots had to be pushed hard to even get 370. They were bobbing & weaving everywhere to shake me. I got just over 372 in the Camry. Just couldn't get there in the Camaro. Sure, it had higher top speed. But the PR for the race was lower, so the bots were slower. It is interesting as the listed top speed is 368kph. This is kind of like the Formula E cars on Mount Panorama where gravity causes them to run several kph over their top speed.

I don't know if the physics of the game takes this into account, but did you try any of your runs on the Night race? You should have a little extra speed in a night race (in reality), at least that is what the LMP drivers report in the overnight stints. The engineers worked out that there is a little bit more oxygen in the air so the get a couple of more horsepower out of the engine.

If Jan was able to get 372kph with an inside line, the outside line slingshot and then using the banking to drop down should have gotten him to 373-374 kph. I think he could have done it that way.
