Had a go at the Indy500 yesterday and ended up 4th on the lead lap, which wasn't bad considering I span out several times before I got a handle on when the tyres were worn out (was my first endurance race).

Any tips for a good setup because I've read people are getting 30-40 laps on soft tyres with the Peugeot 908? I managed just 10-12 laps in on soft tyres... :laugh:

I'm close to platinum but... I cannot stand Vettel anymore... off to 3-4 seconds gold of Vettel's challenges (Nur & Suzuka! :( Not sure about controller how to beat! :(

I can't say I give up but not sure who knows! I still cannot get the last sector time to save my life. I cannot get that cut down so I have decided not to do it.

I just don't know. I am tired of spending so much time on it when I could focus on other games. But I need to stay determined.

57 out of 59 (91%).
