They changed how this event runs in the last update. The bots run a little more to the inside on the corners and a little more to the outside between corners. They also downgraded the bots a bit. I purposely had the bots running as hard as possible as I like the challenge. Sometimes I couldn't win the race. I just did the 10 lap and I caught the leader lap 5. Prio to the update it was RARE that I caught the leader by lap 9! Here is what I do;

-I generally pass on the outside in heavy traffic. Then jam on the brakes to get back into traffic with minimal bumping. Ride the draft and go back to the outside for the next corner.

-On the exit of the last corners before the straight, I try to carefully cut through traffic to the inside. Then run as CLOSE as I can to the cars next to me. By doing this I steal the draft from the cars in front and behind them. I then to cut back through to the outside when I can. A lot of braking is required.

-Once traffic is thinned out and I can get to the inside of the corners, I run them VERY low. At the apex of the corner I have all 4 tire JUST under the white line. My aim every corner is to at least have my outside tire running on the white line.

-If I'm coming up on someone and have a good run on them, I DON'T bump draft them. I stay behind as long as possible and dive in front of them as soon as possible, but I don't bump them! I lose a lot of momentum when I do that.

Also, these cars can take a lot of damage before they suffer much. I'm of pitting some cars along the way. I just try not to get tangled up in the wreck to badly!

I love running Indy and Daytona speedway, but hate running Richmond and Suzuka. Even though it's all lefts, it's fast and the drafting element is fun for me. Hope that helps you!
