I just got the win with a Honda RA272 on CMs but I wouldn't call it easy. I detuned and added ballast, and lowered the required top speed gearing. I managed to get away cleanly and stuck behind P1 and P2 for the first half of the race. The trick is not to spin or go deep at all. Not even once. I noticed that P1 and P2 sometimes sped up and sometimes slowed, but I just kept out of their way because I learnt from my first attempt at this race that they will try and goad you into a wheel-to-wheel and then ram you. So just let them get on with it and stay clear. They pit at the 30-min mark, after which you can focus on maintaining good, clean laps with no mistakes. Stay focussed. My average laptime was around 2:31, which was driving at about 97% of my ability. I pushed to 100% on the first attempt, but like I say, one spin, one mistake, and you probably won't recover! I only won by ten seconds, which is less time than it takes to recover from a spin on a hill. I also noted zero indicated tyre wear but the grip did fall off towards the end of the race.
