3.4 - "draft" distance is cumulative (ie you don't need to do it in one stretch) and definitely possible to win with completely degraded car. However with completely degraded car you won't be able to get much of a draft on the straights - so you have to use what I believe they call a "bump draft" - basically just ram up the back of the cars in front of you (rather than trying to overtake them straight away).

I had a distance of 4.2miles to beat - which is just over a lap - got the 1000 yards in the first lap and still had about 10 seconds to spare crossing the line - which gave me more than enough to reach the 4.2miles.
