24 Hour race?! Let's discuss please XD

[nsx_vtec]

interesting point has anyone had the balls, elevated caffiene/ amphetemiene levels to attempt a 24 hr race with the dfp because after playing with it i was ready to through my dual shock out the window , the idea of using mates and doing shifts is good but even 2 hrs straight on the dfp with my bucket seat is enough for sore arms and a numb arse.

anyone in the melbourne area who would like to join the bmw v12 lmr team and have a short season of 24hr racing when gt4 is relased pm me 2 spots still to fill

For those talking about doing 300 laps in 24 hours, I worked it out at around 18 seconds lost on your lap time when pitting. So you'd have to work out your pit stratedgy and fit that into your calculations.

I don't think 300 is actually possible... as I was saying in my first post about the 300 laps, way back when

So, to do 300 laps you will need to run an average lap time of 4'48.000, which counting pit stops, sounds pretty impossible, even with an F1

The (new) fastest lap that I have seen so far is with the Toyota Minolta 88C (5'11.828), and he was driving like a bad @ss mofo with pretty much no errors. Driving like that for 24 hours straight seems, again, impossible. So, now... for the possible part.

Let's say that you can pull off a constant 5'30.000 (give or take) per lap, with that same car, and let's say that you pit at the end of every 5th lap.
So, that would be, 330 seconds (5'30.000) times 5 plus (rounding up) 20 seconds for pitting:

(330 * 5) + 20 = 1670 seconds
Now, 1670 / 5 = 334 seconds per lap (average, with the pit stop already calculated in).
334 seconds = 5'34.000 = 5.56666 minutes
Seems feasible? Uhm... I don't know

Anyway, that strategy (running 5 laps at 5'30.000 per lap, and pitting for 20 seconds), will yield you:

1440 / 5.5666 = 258.7 (rounding up) laps

So, I would say, 250 laps are definitely possible here 👍 And also, since they seem possible-but-not-that-easy with a Toyota Minolta 88C, the goal of 250 should be definitely be at reach of the F1 car, even if you don't push it to the limits for the whole 24 hours.

I know 0.1% of you all will read my post (I don't know, I just have a feeling )... but hopefully that 0.1% will find it useful 👍

you can save on your savegame when you go in the pits right

 

[Appie]

what savegame sdo you need to get a bonus and your lincese

 

[Jake Bullet]

Except in the F1 car you're stuck with R3 tyres, good luck making them last 5 laps... :-)

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Nope. this has been covered a thousand times already, so let's make it 1001: you can't save your game in the pits!

On a totally onrelated matter, I GET MY DFP today!!! Wuhu... !!!'

Oh and by the way AE86Driver, I answered you question about the AMG (or tried to anyway), but since it was during your 24 hour race, i don't know whether or not you noticed it. Anywho it's back on page 7. Hope it helps, although it's kind of redundant now.

That proves my point perfectly 👍 Thank you, Do you race?
Why reading 20+ pages of discussion, when you can just jump in and ask the question for the 100 bizillionth time? Beats me...

Let's NOT use the Search button either... They might as well disable it lol!

I can't believe you are an active member and still don't know that

If you are referring to Mukai, I think he was being sarcastic as well

Back on topic... somewhat...
Has AE86Driver ever founded that Club? Anybody knows?

[Liquid Li0n]

maybe it was sarcasm but he had peoples attention, so he's plan worked

 

[rpmformula]

In the late 60's and early 70's, there was a race at the Ring called: "Le Marathon de la route". Well, featuring touring cars, this race was from 72 HOURS to 96 HOURS, depending on the year. That would be ultimate GT4 challenge

In 1929 or 1930, there was a 30 days long race...ohoh, I guess a fellow doing it on GT4 would be encaged in any asylum... 👍

A guy that would do such 30 day race had to get a PSTwo and PSP for free

 

[eSPy]

concidering i needed a nap after doing a 2hr race in GT3(only did midfield and super speedway) i dont think ill even do it in b-spec, makes me feel guilty about how much work my poor old PS2 is doin.

 

[AE86Driver]

CSS - yep,I noticed your post way back when ! Thank you for replying and the information ! Sorry I didn't thank you earlier about that,I think that may have given you the impression that I didn't read your post,but don't worry..I've read EVERY post since this thread was first started,hohohohoho ! About forming the club,I'm currently working on "that" right now. Remember,all members that wish to apply,send me a private message !

[Liquid Li0n]

Maybe we can do the PAL endurance races with some specific added PAL CARS

 

[AE86Driver]

not anything important really,but I'm about to go perform the 4 hour endurance race in my Roadster,hehehe...sooo...I will talk to everyone after that race !

AE86Driver

~Ja ne~

 

[Liquid Li0n]

best of luck

 

[AE86Driver]

Well everyone,I just completed the 4 hour endurance race with my Roadster ! It was pretty fun..at least it was on Tsukuba ! That course is so easy to handle,hohohoho ! I know these screenshots look pretty bad this time,cause something is going on with my camera. If you know me on AIM,you can message me there and I can send you short clips of these in motion rather than blurry like this. I have 4-10 second recordings of the race results,the car I used,and the car I won. It looks a LOT better than these pictures. So if you know me on AIM (KenMatsamudo),then send me a message ! Because they are not even 2 MB big,so it won't take long to send,but I can't put them up here ;_;. Well..er..yeah !

[AE86Driver]

and here is the Prize Money and picture of the car I used (which it's SUPPOSED TO BE...REEEED...but it shows up as orange here? Why? )

AE86Driver

~Ja ne~

P.S. The prize money is actually 10,000,000. I didn't click though till I got clear shot,then it was too late,sorry

 

[McLaren]

So there is an Endurance for Tsukuba?

 

[AE86Driver]

yep ! But it can only be done with a Miata/Roadster ! You remember that Endurance Race on GT3 right? I forget where it took place at . I believe it was actually Trial Mountain...right?

AE86Driver

~Ja ne~

 

[moosejaw]

Isn't the 9-Hour Endurance at Tsukuba as well?

I hated the Roadster Endurance... I don't like having to use a car that handles like a whale

 

[AE86Driver]

hmmm..not too sure . I'll have to check up on that later moosjaw. Ah,handling like a whale? ..I'm not so sure about that. Mine didn't the whole time I raced with it

AE86Driver

~Ja ne~

 

[meister_dan]

GT3 Roadster Endurance took place in Apricot Hill, AE86 Driver. BTW what Miata did you use?

 

[AE86Driver]

oh..Apricot was it ? Well....it has been a while,hahahaha. The Roadster I used was the: S-Special Type I

sorry the pictures are so blurry. Remember,if you want video instead,send me message on AIM ooooooor..even send me Private Message !

[dJomp]

Isn't the 9-Hour Endurance at Tsukuba as well?

That's gonna be a very boring race on such a short track - although I guess you'll get to deal with opponents more often...

 

[Liquid Li0n]

I see you did 214 laps and the 4rd guy did 191 so it seems it was a very easy race. btw how many did you pit with that stock car?

I hated that endurance race as well, that miata-eunos-mx5 (what ever its called) sucks big time!
