I always used to slow bots in NASCAR because the races were so long and boring. But I've been running 2016 season flat out and got to say, it gets quite fun with maxed out bots, but really difficult too! Took a few attempts to get through 15.1, 10 laps at Richmond, the front bots were very quick, and don't seem to get held up by back markers at all. Eventually passed it but the one I'm still stuck on after many attempts is 12.3, 10 laps at Indianapolis, damn that race is HARD! First have to somehow clear a path through the tightly packed idiot bots at the back, without taking damage or getting pitted (most attempts end there) but also have to be very aggressive with overtaking otherwise I can't catch the front guys. Any mistakes and forget it, no way you can recover! Even just a small amount of damage can end any chance of winning. Maxed out bots also means drafting not only works so much better, but is essential. Rather than blasting past slow bots on the bends, if you can't get within drafting distance overtaking is almost impossible. If you get stuck on your own it can take several laps to catch the guy in front, even if you can see him on the straight. Sure is frustrating, but resisting the temptation to lose a load of speed snaps, with this race I can say I'm kind of enjoying NASCAR!
