I'm confused about how I fame per lap is calculated. I'm hoping some people here can shed some light on this.

The majority of this thread is about the Porsche short endurance race. We've been talking about 3 cars in the exclusive series; FXX K, 918 & the Audi. This website claims the following pay for fame per lap;

Audi - 500/lap FXX K - 600/lap 918 - 1000/lap

I just did a test in the 918 to try and confirm this. I only found out 20 minutes ago that the 918 is the most profitable race of the 3. I ran one lap in the 918 and stopped just after the start/finish line and let the clock run out. I only received 200 Fame. I thought maybe I had to be in first place to collect maximum fame, so I tried another test. I went offline to make sure that first place would be a small amount. I went 5 laps for a total of 10.14 km. I received 2500 fame. That works out to 500 per lap.

Then I realized that I might not get the full pay for fame until I am in first place. That would mean if first place Target to beat is 200 km then I only receive the maximum payout after I pass 200 km. I will have received a lesser amount for the first 200 km. That is a huge waste of time! Is this correct?

If this is correct it will completely change how I do endurance races. I will have to go offline before I enter the race to ensure that the targets are low. That way I can start collecting maximum Fame after only 10 km. I don't have time for more tests right now because I'm going to try to get the overtaking reward. I figure some of the experts on this website already know the answer.

In one of my tests with the 918, first place to beat had a distance of 791.2 km!!
