It was used as Race A in August?

Here's something interesting that I just noticed at race A qualifying.
I've never seen, or noticed this before, but oil degradation is turned on.
When you begin qualifying, the car already has 78 miles on the odometer. And, just like the cars in your garage, when you get over about 162 miles on the odo, your speed decreases. So, after running 4 laps, you just have to exit and come back. Hitting Retry won't reset the odo.
I tested it a second time, to verify. It's real.

I noticed that the cars were used when I set a qualifying time earlier.
The merc when I noticed had 84 miles on the clock.

I've seen a bunch of people saying both this morning, for race C. Either all out no savings, or running a lap or two short. I am confused.....

I can't even get close to full distance, although I've not tried the lightbois.

Driving the Silvia with auto gears, I run engine map 2 and that means crossing the line on fumes.
Lots of people this morning were running medium tyres and pitting towards the end - most the time it did not work. I think if you start on pole and scuttle off into the distance then a win might just about be possible with a stop, but really non-stopping on hard tyres seems to be much better option.

This week's Race A is rather quirky. I won on my first try. First, I qualified by turning the car around, driving until I crossed the final 180-degree corner, then turning around again and completing the lap. It landed me 6th on the grid. Some notable things I noticed:
- It was a black sea of AMGs.
- Both RX-7's used a lot of nitro at the start and immediately lost the lead after not using nitro.
- One of the AMGs used nitro after the first 180-degree turn and pulled almost a second gap to the guy in 2nd (me).
- By the time the final corner came, our pack had caught up to the leader thanks to bump drafting.
- On the final corner, the leader tried to punt me hard, but it did not work at all because I was on the outermost lane. Pushing a car against gravity there simply doesn't work. Maybe consider hogging the outermost lane for safety.
- One of the AMGs was gaining on me near the finish but stalled due to a 1-second penalty. I have no idea how some folks earned those 1-second penalties.

RH mandatory.Oh shoot! So Hard is mandatory? Didn't think of that...But I also got a 3 sec penalty for crossing the pit lane line, don't know it it was from entry or exit though. (Maybe find a car who can run non stop, the Nissan Silvia couldn't)
Silvia and 455 seem to be the go to choices. You may have to fuel save some, though.

I'm that second RX7 that spun on the final bend. I was surprised how we initially moved up because I only used nitrous for a couple seconds. But, yeah, the RX7 struggled at top end.
Struggling to steer smoothly with the controller. I did the exact same thing my second race using the Lambo. I wish they'd let us put hards on the front. I might have to turn on countersteer assist just for this race.
