If someone wants to race the Homestead 200, forget it. I believe the
maximum amount of laps in GPL is 128. After that the lapcounter will
stay at 128 until you got no fuel. That is something what will not
happen to the AI, they go on until you get bored. (IF the AI reach
that point, only 2 of 19 did in the race I tried).

If somebody ever does 128laps at the Nurburgring,  we will need to launch a
special program to help people like him, Simcohlics ;)

figuring an average of 9 minutes per lap, thats a 19 hour race with some
change.  Hey, maybe some friends can get together and run the race and
rotate every little bit.  I would say every few hours but in GPL, your mind
gets dead after an hour or so, so maybe an hour at a time.  That would be a
true marathon.  Somehow there has to be a hack to get more fuel in the car.
