Why did you go backwards at the start? How do these big line of bots appear? Why you like to  race on long indy speedway? I mean its more profitable than lemans, is it for fun?

Sry, first time to hear about long endurance race.

Hello there. There are many endurance races in this game where you can go really far. In fact, some of them you can drive as long as you want to. I just made a playlist of all my endurance races the other day, because someone was asking about them. Here is that link [LOOOONG Endurance Races, Real Racing 3]

There's a basic principle in endurance races where you go really long. You need to have consistently fast average lap times. The faster you pull these off, the quicker you will reach the point that you could keep going forever. Take Porsche short track for instance. Click on the video below to see what I'm talking about. I hit what's called the "perpetual point" at lap 12. I could have hit it sooner if I did more off track cutting right from the start. However if you're not really good at driving with no assists and you're not used to the track you'll never hit that point. It just takes practice.

The "perpetual point" is the point that the bots normalize and there's more of them. So they will not get any harder than they are at that point and there will be more of them grouped closer together. If you crash and catch up with them they will again appear at regular intervals. Before reaching the perpetual point, a severe crash can ruin the entire race.

This Indy endurance event is completely unique in the game. There is no other race like it anywhere in the game that I can find anymore. Although theoretically you could go forever it's simply not possible with the amount of aggressive traffic here. If I go hard right at the start I'm going to hit big groups of bots as early as 16 km. by going backwards I wreck my average lap time for a while. That way I don't hit big groups of bots until about 40 km. Eventually you need the big groups of cars because it makes the bots slow down a bit. The further you go the harder bots get to a point. This also leads to accidents. The accidents are good because you can pass a bunch at once. However, the accidents are also bad because you can get tangled up in them and get damaged. It's all part of the fun.

This particular race is only about fun and an exhilarating challenge. The pay is horrible! The other version of this in the McLaren P1 GTR was actually profitable. Unfortunately they ruined this race with this recent update. That really bummed me out and set me looking for it any remaining versions of it. I will also include a link of how that race used to be below.
