I've done thousands of laps at Indy Speedway Endurance in the McLaren P1 GTR. I will use my recent observations there as an example.

As I hit the 100 km mark, I found that the other P1 GTR's often started to pull away from me about halfway through the straight-away (without any damage). Rarely I would be able to keep up with them. So I started searching around the track to try to see where I was losing speed on exit. I finally realized that I needed to drive the exact same line as the boat's whenever possible. This meant not going as low in the corners as I normally would do. I'm used to going as low as possible to shorten the distance around the track. However for whatever reason this is not the fastest line around Indy Speedway. Once I started driving the same path as the Bots, I carried more speed through the corner and then was able to match the bots speed all the way down the straight-away. It amazes me how every single part of the corner is critical to having good straight-away speed. It's the entrance, it's the line through the corner and it's the exit from the corner.

Certainly damage has a huge part to do with it too. Any crack in your windshield means that all the specs of your car are lowered. However I found that even when my car was perfect, that the Bots would pull away once I hit the maximum difficulty of bots.
