I loved that stupid race - even when it would nose-dive into the wall when braking!
Having boring last laps made me slow way down on modding. Now I like to try "as is" first and watch to see if I'm falling behind or gaining during the first couple laps. If the car is falling behind or doesn't have enough oomph to gain on the straights, I'll bail out of the race and do some minor mods. I think it was the 2nd race in Bonus 5 that I won by 4 seconds with the car completely stock. I tried it a second time (still no changes) and won by 25 seconds since I was more familiar with that car on that track. Besides, I'm cheap and figure skipping on Racing Soft tires twice leaves enough credits to buy an entire car.

So when do you guys think a good break in period is  |
Don't know how long it takes, but the tip about changing the oil before you race a car for the first time seems to be true. It gives you a little extra HP!
