But seeing as how this is all about distance rather than laps, maybe you should start doing what I do and only use the cuts if necessary, I only use the first (chicane) cut if I start the lap below 40 seconds or had a bad lap and am trying to catch the bots, I don't use either cut if I start the lap with (nearly) 90 seconds. My aim is an average of 1.15+ miles (1.8+ kn) per lap and 100 laps per hour. Go for it ....

Hey Nick. I thought about this (what you said above) some more while I was racing on the 30% day. So I cut less on the 1st chicane. I also adjusted my entry and exit of the the big cut after the bus stop section. I had to slow down more at both. I was able to get my fame per lap to just over 540/lap. I used to average 535, but I've been working on it.

On 200 laps with the agent it's only an extra 2000 fame. Throw in the 30% today and it's 2600 more fame. I don't know how much it's worth it, but I didn't notice too much of a lap time drop.

If anyone else is interested in figuring out your base fame to track personal improvement, you have to do the following;

•    You must place 1st •    Take note of the last lap as you start it •    Stop right BEFORE the start/finish of your last lap (bumper view helps for this) •    Take note of agent and fame bonus that was applied •    Take your full fame amount and divide by the number of laps •    Take that amount and divided it by 2 (removes agent bonus) •    Take the remaining amount and divide by 1.XX (the XX is whatever the fame bonus was on that day).

Example: Fame bonus is 30%, ran 200 laps, earned 280,829 fame

280,829 / 200 / 2 / 1.30 = 540.06 base fame per lap

P.S. I know the zero in 1.30 is unnecessary, it just makes it easier when explaining.
