Well guys,I just reached my 20th hour,so only 4 left! I am using a Dual Shock controller and usuing a manual with my buttons set as (R2 = Shift up and R1 = Shift down,L1 = Look back,L2 = Reverse,Triangle = Change View,Square = Brake,X = Accelerate,O = Handbrake) and I hope whoever does decide to use an F1 has fun,cause I can't really stand F1s o.o. I can't drive with them :dunce:. They all revolve around grip racing,which eh...I'm not good at >_>;. *begins scratching his head lightly now,laughing nervously* maybe that's why I could only drive the 787B when its tyres condition were in orange? :lol:. Well,I'm enjoying myself with my R out here though,it's a lot of fun =D! I was actually thinking about doing one of the other 24 Hour Endurance races with my FD,but eh...I might have to hold up on that idea whenever I get my mind set straight after this race @_@. Wow,someone is planning on doing 2 24 hour races or maybe even 3 in a row? Er...this might sound kinda stupid to say,but..that kinda makes the scenerio I am in right now sound really easy,when I've had to face a lot of hardships in order to survive up to this point. I will list all of the methods I used in order to survive after I beat the race,which SHOULD be around..hmmm...11:00? If I start now that is,lol..yeeeah,the results aren't changing too much,so I'm just gonna leave you with:

I'm still in first,pitting every 2 laps
The R34 in 2nd place CONTINUOUSLY tries to catch up,but he's still like,6 minutes behind,so it's not happenin'

and I hope this doesn't seem like a waste now to do this 24 Hour race *shrugs* sorry guys,just kinda thought about what the other guy said when calling this easy *sighs* oh well..off to race my fellow GT Enthusiasts!

Only 4 more hours, and then it will be all over :D
I wish I was in your place, right now... I have an assignment and a lab report due tomorrow, and it looks like it will be 4 - 6 hours of homework for me... Ah, what I would give if I could be the one racing and you the one doing my homework ;):sly:

I'll be here when you are done, to congratulate you personally!

EDIT:
Safe Speed
I dont even know you but im waiting for your entrance after the completion of the 24 Hour Endurance race. ^^
Same here, and read what I wrote a couple of lines above! :D

What I said bout doing 3 x 24 = 72 hours was a joke. I probably won't even manage one 24 hour race.

You're almost there, pedal to the metal.

After you've finished you can watch the reply for another 24 hours, Yahoo :crazy:
 
Lets hope he doesnt live up in the Northeastern area where they are getting Blizzards ._.;[/SIZE][/QUOTE]

i'm being serious bout it though i will try to do it
 
AE86 don't give up!! Just becuase someone is crazier than you doesn't mean this isn't a big deal. Live in the now your setting the bar for all 24hr race starters! If someone can do more let them, your still the first to have done it though and thats always worth more!
 
Just thought I'd mention, I heard that the new slimline playstations had a problem with over-heating and that there were alot of recalls regarding the problem.

And, I had an idea for those afraid of cooking their playstations while trying the 24hour enduro's. Why not rent a playstation from the video store or something.. don't risk your own, risk theirs!! hahaha

there's only one big flaw in that plan of yours if theirs breaks from overheating then you have to pay for it
 
Keep up the good work AE86! Make sure you write down how many laps it was and other info, so that others can compete against it.

As always, good luck. Don't get discouraged by other's plans on the enduros. :D

EDIT: Haha, this is the first extensive GT4 write-up. :P Tell Jordan to make a new board. 💡
 
:lol: I am really glad you are all enjoying this as much as I am,I will be providing this last screenshot of me entering the pit with TWO..yes I said TWO..HOURS REMAINING! :banghead:! NOT 4,not 5,not 18,or even 23,but TWO!!! I have included lists of dangers that happened within the race in my notebook,followed by my Survival Guide on what I did in order to make it..in ONE sitting ^.^! By the way..technically I've been up for 36 hours now,soooo..hmmm..I'm still not tired though,so don't worry =D! *puts up the screenshot,then goes to listen to the final CDs..Fourth Stage (which is about 73 minutes) and the Initial D Nonstop Megamix! (which is also over 70 minutes,so the race WILL be over while I am listening to one of these cds..FINALLY!!!)

P.S. sorry for the image being slightly tilted and a little blurry this time. The camera is a battery eater,so I had to take the picture before my batteries went "dead",but...enjoy anyways!

Two hours... So close, yet so far :D I bet you can almost taste "history" in your mouth... and we are all here to witness it 👍

Since you are not tired, you could try and go for TWO 24 Hour Races in ONE sitting ;) j/k :D

Wizard-san wish you godspeed on your last 2 hours of torture...

A bit off topic, but what are the three options in the pause menu? I assume that resume is first, then exit, and is the last options? I will be going to bed in 12 minutes. Yes, bed. Doesn't that sound so good right now? :P So I won't get to see your reaction until about 6:00 am.

Do you have school/work tomorrow...? XD

i'm glad to see they fixed the way the endurance races worked. no longer in set amount of laps nice actually done by time now. :)

Some go by mileage, don't they?

That must feel weird considering most of the endurances in GT3 were 2 hours and the longest around 3.
 
Like a spectator besides the Nurburgring track:

"C'mon AE86, you goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Whoooooooooooootttttt!!"


This thread is like a virtual spectator zone
 
wtf? u did the whole 24hr race by ur self? i mean... do u even have GT4? or u juss dunno what they are sayn at all. I got GT4 like 2weeks ago, and ive been playn on and off. let me tell u the difference between A-spec and B-spec. A- spec is the one u drive by your self. B-spec is the one that u can make ur computer(AI) drive for you. the more u train the AI, better the Ai will be. u can earn B-spec points by making computer run well on different kinds of tracks, and different cars, and etc. I mean, theres so much things u can do with B-spec u kno. GT4 isnt just a driving game dude. u can make it a 3x speed too. so simple. well, try figuring it out by ur self, if cant, just ask the master. i kno all the prize cars too.
 
i think having 24 hour races in a game is cool
when gt4 comes out n i decide 2 do the races id get 2 other freinds to help n use a car that is similar to the others so we wont loose interest
