I know that riding off track and bumping other cars slows you down but I don't really get what you mean with the wasting the 90 of somethimng. When playing the exclusive series you are not able to select various cars so there is only one top car to race with.

He means that, in endurance races, you get 10s added to your clock when you pass a bot. However, the clock has a max possible value of 90s. Therefore, if you pass a bot with 85s on the clock, it will only go to 90s, meaning you only increased your clock by 5s instead of 10s. Waiting at the start line to let the slow bots get ahead and spread out can reduce/elliminate that wasted time. Better yet is to reverse at the start rather than sitting still, as you can gain ~0.1-0.2 miles that way. And how many seconds you advise me to reverse at the start? 5 secs as well? It depends on the car, the upgrades, the bot cars, and the track. 5-10s is most typical, but for fast FU cars, especially if the initial bots are slow, I think I've gone up to 19s. For RBR Suds in the Toyota, I actually don't pass a single bot on the first lap and coast across the line to start the second lap after the timer runs out :)
