We found it was actually possible - with hybrids - to turn round at the start and blitz backwards round the circuit, until you met the AI coming the other way (and they'd be well before T1 split). You could then mess about, blocking them until you reaching the start/finish line on their first lap - and they wouldn't exceed 60mph, no matter what.
You could then wazz around the track twice and pass them on the line, whereupon they were suddenly going much, much quicker now that they weren't a lap up. We were seeing times in excess of 8 minutes STILL winning the race...
