Minnies Day Out at Indy
So Yesterday I did the INDY 500 in the Audi R10 Race Car spent 4.75000cr Buying it and a few more cr adding soft Tyres and Turbo Upgrades

Today I thought I need more Xp to climb to the lofty heights of Level 29 (my goal is to get too Level 30 on my 4 days off work and attempt to get the X1.......eventually) .
So this is the Budget way to do the Indy 500 Endurance Race with the Free Minolta Toyota 88c-V Race Car '89 Won at the Like the Wind event , or as I affectionally call it "Minnie"
Simple Plan do the Same Race as Yesterday earn Bundles of XP and Progress though the Game further
First thing off to get the Oil changed , then on with the Race
First Stint the Same as yesterday straight out on Soft Race tyres , Lap 22 passes with no noticable Understeer unlike the Audi used Yesterday , Lap 27 the car is a bit Twitchy ( I Play with ABS set to 1 but all other Aids OFF) but controlable so a few more laps Pass Lap 30 its getting a Handfull time to Pit . The Physics really are that good you feel the Tyres going away
In the Pits now because Minnie wasn't deemed good enough to be a Premium you get the Whole Pit Animation and you actually see it , so 1 up to Minnie because in the Audi all I got was the Cockpit View in the Pits , actually 2 up to Minnie she's looking after her Tyres (1 stint I did 33 Laps) way better than the Audi , but she's a Thirsty Girl and Drinks 89 Ltr's of Fuel (you won't see more than 38 Laps to a Tank Fuel wise , Stage 3 turbo fitted) .
The Audi does 27 Laps the way I drive but only uses Half a Tank as its a Diesel , so a good job of simulation by PD there
So I get out of the Pits and the laps Fly By Minnie is running consistent 39.8's where as the Audi was running 42.4's so another 1 to Minnie and at that rate it'll save me some time as i'll need the Extra for the time in Pits Fueling up
the Race goes to Plan though by Lap 180 Minnie has a 16 Lap Lead I Pit take on just enough Fuel and fresh Tyres and finish the Race 15 Laps Ahead loosing only 1 lap in the Pits due to a shorter Fuel Stop , oh and even though Minnie was a bit Thirstier than the Audi she did the race in 7 Pit Stops not 8 due to better Tyre Wear .
Race Pace Comparison
Audi R10 TDI '06
Average Lap Time 42.4
Race distance Covered in 2.28.52.544
7 and 3/4 Laps ahead at finish
8 Pit Stops
Minnie (Minolta Toyota 88C-V Race Car '89)
Average Lap Time 39.8
Race distance Covered in 2.19.14.142
15 Laps Ahead at Finish
7 Pit Stops
XP Paid exaclty the Same with the Toyota as it did with the Audi
Oh and I got to Level 29 👍
