For instance, in the LTS Brands Hatch cup race, I saw someone easily get 10 more OT’s than me, though it took them 10 seconds longer. After the first 21 OT’s, their bots were closely spaced, like a long train on the track. Yet my bots were organized into twosomes that were spaced far apart.

Does anyone have any insight?

I find sometimes it’s a crap shoot which bot to lower to. There have been times when I screwed up and hit continue instead of retry, so I had to bot slow again.

I specifically recall doing the drag race method for the Nascar Richmond OT’s and I got impatient so I didn't slow to the lowest bot. For some reason they were much tighter grouped together and easier to ever take than they were at the slowest bot. I think it made about a 10-15 car OT difference.

So if I screw up, I experiment and try to find the best setup. Lose a little time but can gain it when you find the best pattern.
