Going to do 10 'retire > continue > enter again's and then 1 more full race coming last to see if this makes any difference, then a service and away we go for one final time. I have 14 hours left, so could do more, but it soooo boring. Don't race the whole race. Just quit/retire and continue. It is tedious but worked for me. Did not take too long for his times to start moving down (that was with first car, with second two I had already managed the bots with 10.3 such that he was already pretty slow). I did that with the Porsche. Did it over 20 times and still John's winning time was 15 mins 15 seconds. That's why this time I've done the full race and come last every time (5 times in total, plus 10 times of quite/retire and continue). And it WORKED! Finally! I caught John half way through lap 4 and then had a 500m lead at the end of the race. My winning time was 16 mins 12 seconds, so pretty good racing. John was 16 mins 30 seconds, which considering all the slowing down tactics I'd done leading up to 10.6, and then the day and a half of finishing last etc. was pretty fast I'd say. Really crappy way of having to win a race tbh. With a minute between John starting the race and me crossing the line to start the race, a target time of 15:15 is impossible!

Anyway, proud owner of all three cars now. My GC total for this third go was 151. That includes all gold won through the various stages, plus level ups if there were any, minus any gold spent on engineer (mostly) and agent and manager.
