Tried something new. Instead of wasting time driving slow behind the slow bots at the beginning, I drove backwards, off-track. Turned around and drove flat out in lap 1. Mileage is not subtracted if you drive off track. I don’t know if anyone has mentioned that before not, haven’t read all the threads. Picked up an extra 2/10 of a mile at the beginning, before the start line, but ultimately this only resulted in 1/10 of a mile  more than my previous best. The sequence of bots felt totally different this way.
