ME7: The Endurance race at Le Mans in the MP4-X is far easier than most people have made it appear. I've managed to pull off 77 miles (not sure what that translates to in km). I watched your YT video for pointers and I think I might have figured something out that makes for less challenging bots and also provides for less mishaps and collisions:

So, I start the the game with all assists enabled. This places the bots into the same "category", so to speak. Once the race begins I disable the assist for cutting the corners, but once I've cut the corners, I pause and set my assists to Steering Low, Brake Low, Traction on. Have you tried it this way? It definitely helped me in maneuvering around some of those trickier opponents.

Thanks! I’ve never tried starting with all assists on. I’ll give it a shot and see if it helps.

I don’t like pausing and toggling assists on and off again and again. For me it breaks up the flow, but it also lowers my fame/minute. I used to do that in 10 lap Le Mans before driving no assists. It’s actually what drove me to learn no assist driving, because I was just spending so much time pausing and resuming.

But... now that I think about it, there’s really only 3 off-track cuts per lap. The last cut & the first cut could be taken while assists are off. So you'd only have to pause and toggle 2 times per lap. 🤔... maybe worthwhile for me to give that a shot.

Thanks for making the suggestion. It’s the best race in the game to master! You bet! The only reason I tried it in the first place was because I kept having issues with smacking into bots at the worst possible moments/ At such a high rate of speed once you've hit a bot it pretty much ruins your lap. So, I can't claim it was some clever idea, it was more of an experiment and it just happened to work out. Oh yeah, one other thing I do... For the first 15 seconds at the start of the race, I tap the brake just enough to stay behind the closest bot. That took a little time to figure out as well. I fiddled with 5 seconds, then 10, but 15 seconds works out just fine. I'll try to post a video sometime this week and maybe you can see what I'm doing better than just reading me talk about it. Love the vids, keep up the good work!
