Full Race Distance

Just a question, does anybody other than me race full race distance
races?  Its actually quite frustrating as in Brazil I was having a nice
duel with Coultard for first and my engine went with 2 laps to go :(

Then 2 races later in Imola, Hakkinen and I are going for it and with 2
laps to go BOOM there goes my engine again!!!!

Now if was racing shorter races would I have won those to races?

I still love my GP3 anyways....

IIRC the way Geoff has modeled car failure is irrelevant to the length of
the race.  So if your race was a 10%, the random failures are still there
like they are at 100%, not diminished.
