What is the best strategy for this challenge?? I just can't seem to win, always lose the lead with like 3mins left

Here is my play through during the beta, and I beat it again on the final release as well.

Basically in a nut shell, you should run Racing Hards. And make sure to scroll in the dial menu for the fuel consumption as the race progresses you should adjust your dial from 1 which is full power to 6 which is lean when your running low on fuel. If you watch my racing lines, it should give you a decent overlook on where you should be placing the car on the track. The footage also was done when I only had DS4. My new upload soon will be with the G29 Steering Wheel. Hopefully this helps! Sorry the footage looks trash, this was when I was still trying to figure out the proper settings to render the game footage at.

That's the wrong race though, unless the OP confuses minutes with laps.

Oops, you're right. If you mean minutes, the only one I could think of is the 15 Lap Endurance on the new Alsace Village track.

I mean the 30 minute endurance, not the 30 lap

All I did was changing the starting tires to RS and then pit in lap 8 and 15, refueling for 7 laps in both stops.

A single pit stop in lap 11 by adjusting fuel mixture and using harder tires (RM or RH) might work, not sure though.

I still can't get it lol anyone else have some advice?

The race with the Porsche? If so: racing hards, fuel map 6, pit just after 15 minutes/a lap after the AI (however if you feel you can manage a lap or two more without losing time then go ahead). Fuel for 10 laps and continue pushing, aiming for lap times of no more than 1:24. The AI will pit again with 7 minutes or so remaining, so you will have half a lap to create a big lead. As you enter the final laps of the race, switch to fuel map 1 and finish comfortably.

You have absolutely no room for errors.

I think he means the challenge 8-7
I am currently on that one although haven't tried it because I was doing 8-8 but that was more of a handful and rage quit a few times.

Racing hard and pit when you're low on fuel. Keep it on 1 fuel management- won by 11 sec. Pitted twice

I did a thorough write up of this a few days ago.

Hi there,
For Stage 8-7, following strategy worked for me
- all default car settings
- default ABS
- all other assists off
- fuel map 1

- start with RS tyres
- pit end of lap 7
- change to RS tyres, full fuel

- pit end of lap 14
- change to RS tyres, fuel enough for 7 laps

Hope this helps
