Having Zoe in 2nd was the key for me. I also did maybe 20 runs :)

I don't recall exactly what happened at the beginning of the run I won, but at some point in that first run down Mulsanne I pitted Michael or Ahmed, and ended up with a ~250 meter lead over Zoe in 2nd. And that's where things stayed for the rest of the race, yoyoing between ~100 and 250 meters, always Zoe in 2nd. Finished with 1 full fuel unit left.

Given how eager Micheal and Ahmed were to pass and pit me, I'm not sure how Zoe in the slower Mazda kept them behind! Obviously bot-passing-bot programming is different than bot-passing-player.

8.2 thorugh 8.5 were all very easy after that.
