Faster than Moises wrote: I'm having mixed results getting to the conga line. So for you maxi-milers out there, what is your strategy for getting through the early too many slow cars section. to get to the conga...

1) go as quickly as possible avoiding collisions regardless of "wasted time" or

2) metering the time as much as possible early to get further before the line forms.

or is there a 3rd option I'm not picking up on?

TIA

My P1 GTR is at PR 94.3, 26/30 upgrades, minus 3 engine and minus 1 body.

As posted above, I use Tilt A, high strength assist, low brake and TC on for this event when I normally use Tilt B and all assists off. I find it much easier to do a long run with that set up.

I can go indefinitely, usually until I run out of time and have to go do something else, so I let the race end. My longest run has been about 1,200 miles/2,000km, took me about six hours with a couple of short breaks on pause. I tip my hat to Dietrich et al who have the time and concentration to do 9-10 hour runs.

Dietrich's strategy above: passing two cars per lap, one sometimes, and keeping the time under 90 when you get the 20 second lap bonus, works best because it minimizes the number of bot crashes you run into.

Re: your question, #1 for sure. At the beginning, if your PR is high enough, you should NOT manage the bots, just go full out 100% until you reach the first long train of bots, usually after 20-23 miles. You just have to be careful dodging/passing the slower bots early on. If you make a mistake and hit one, damaging your car and slowing your to speed, just force quit and restart.
