Hack description

Top Gear Endurance is a hack of Top Gear that increases the amount of laps for most of the tracks. The laps were increased in a way that all cars can complete all tracks. Only a very few tracks couldn't have the laps increased because the red car would not be able to complete it.

Fun challenge, but could use an AI tweakMetalSmasher862021-10-28Version 1.0

First of all, let me say I like the challenge this hack provides, extending the races and pushing your gas tank to the limit on tracks that don't have pit stops. I actually ran out of fuel on two races in Scandinavia and coasted to the finish line on fumes. I love a good fair challenge, and this hack provides that. However, on races that have pit stops, the AI seems to operate on the idea that the race is still the same number of laps as the base game, which leads to the AI car underfueling and taking itself out of the running more often than not. On most 10-lap races the AI will run out of fuel about halfway through, come to a dead stop, and have to rely on other cars rear-ending it to get to the pits. I feel like the AI could be tweaked in that regard, but other than that, this hack is a decent but fair challenge for Top Gear veterans!
