Wow! FM has finally found a way to mess with us, shrewd bot-slowers that we think we are. Goal 7.2 seems simple enough from the script. Win the race, maintain an average speed of 237 kmph or higher, and no off-track or damage to car. Seems easy enough..nothing they have not thrown at us before, right? You couldn't be more wrong!! It's an endurance event, a total mindbender if you hope to use it to slow bots :O So if you are trying to not overshoot Yount's gold trophy target of 5.3 kms by a huge margin (which is the lowest target I could get without losing a race, FYI) and try to avoid crossing that car in front of you, your average speed drops. And if you try to maintain the required average speed, you cross that car in front that is mocking you with its crawling speeds and voila! you have to carry that speed for 10 more seconds, and you end up crossing more cars along the way..it's basically a vicious circle. And even the cars seem to be more tightly packed in this event; I think the best bet is to start late..I'm starting off with about 45 seconds left on the clock and still get atleast 6 cars within the first 2 kms (that's an additional 60 seconds you can't avoid running) and 1-3 every 1000m thereafter. What's worse is it's the circuit des 24 heures that you have been thrown into, so if you don't achieve the objective by end of first lap, you are looking at a bonus 65 seconds!! Goodluck with that! And please share your strategy if you got a good one. I'll share mine as soon as I find a satisfactory solution.
