New best by only .06 of a mile: 112.52 miles.

First two attempts today were ended early by crashes but I think my shift in tactics has helped. What I do now when I come up on the big convoy/pack is to hang back a bit- 100-150 meters or so, instead of closing right up on the tail end of the convoy. If you have a decent amount of time on the timer, you can go 3 laps plus without passing a car. I find that there are always bot crashes in the big convoy, so you can usually get your timer back up to 90 by picking your way through by waiting for crashes, and it's a lot easier to avoid hitting crashing bots when you are hanging back a bit. Hanging back a bit is especially important in Turn 1 because you can't see as far through the turn due to the wall.

Not sure if this will work if you're not maxed out on PR, I need every last bit of speed to do this, and when the track is clear you pretty much need to be able to keep the car at max speed 241-242mph most of the lap(s), and once you take a hit and your top speed is compromised you will run out of time eventually.
