Might be possible. As I said in paragraph 3, your best bet would be to try hitting the wall near the entrance dead on, then hoping the auto reverse takes you far enough out.
 
Yeah! I had the same thing on an online NASCAR race on Daytona. I cut across the pit corner and the car started driving itself at full speed!

I haven't done this yet, but I'd bet that you're correct in the assumption that hitting the wall in the right spot is triggering it, as that type of "zone bug" can also be seen in the B5 license exploit. For that one, you veer off immediately at the start and slam into the wall next to the finish, triggering a "successful" finish. Sounds like the same type of bug here.

wonder what would happen if we reverse into the pits? anyone tried this?

I wish this happened to me sooner, but...I was at 3:15 of the 4 hour Roadster Endurance race in A-Spec. I was 20 laps ahead, so I was wasting time (read: curing monotony) by ramming other cars, rearranging the order, and my long-time GT series favorite: forcing other cars into the pit stops.

I was attempting the latter, when the nose of my car slipped too far into Tsukuba's long wrap-around pit lane. The computer took over the controls and the tires/fuel menu popped up, but my car still had enough momentum that it went out of the pit lane and was carried onto the other side of the pit wall and past the finish lane, all while under the computer's command. I hit "OK" on the pit menu, hoping it would fizzle and let me take over. Instead, the car did a 90 degree turn and rammed the pit wall, as if it were still trying to get in. It backed up, turned the wheels, and rammed the wall again, this time about 10 feet further forward. It did this over and over, slowly inching its way forward, and after about 30-45 seconds of this, finally got to the front of the wall, where instead of running into the wall, it drove into the pit lane runoff, then veered towards turn 1...

STILL in control, the computer proceeded to run the lap, the FULL lap, not at pit lane speed, but at the same pace that Bob would! I thought it was attempting to get back into the pits, but it drove right past them and kept running. At the time of posting this, the car has been driving by itself, running lap times about 1-4 seconds behind mine, or some 15-20 laps. The race only has 24 minutes left, so I'll keep the thread updated on how it handles fuel, tires, and finishing the race.

Exploiters rejoice!

Great story bro! No really, it is. This is definitely something you do not see everyday. You should have taken a video of the glitch.
 
LOL I have been ramming cars into the pits for a long time but I did not know what wondrous results it could yield!

Yep, it automatically turns you facing the right way, as if you rolled over.


Video isn't going to happen anytime soon. The game doesn't save replays that long, so you'd have to be prepared for it.
 
OMG i thought i was the only one.

This happened to Me Online in a free run with my bud. We both hit each other car really badly so i went into the pit. Cant remember what i did though and all of a sudden the car was driving itself.


So will this work on other ones??? Also explain how we do this exactly? (i'm still a bit confused)
 
^What track was it? So far Tsukuba and Daytona have been confirmed. I can't say any more than I already have on the methodology.

Do you know what is way more funner (fun)? Using a car that doesn't murder the whole field and actually forces you to race for the whole length of the race. "But I don't want to risk losing the race and having to do it all over again." To each their own handgun... fecking amateurs, Christian Bale style.

If you want to race go online, and pit yourself against other racers with similar cars. Driving for 9 or 24h against stupid AI is just boring! I just use the X1, drive as fast as possible during half the race then park it and come back just before the end to finish and win. If I can use this to gold the Tsukuba 9h I'm definitely going to, and I'm no amateur! GREAT FIND!
 
Inferno251
so you can't pit at all, which puts you in the risk of not having enough fuel to finish the race,right?
Click to expand...

Incorrect, when fuel runs out, you can drive around at 50 MPH.
Also, according to another user, the glitch happened to them when they were in first, their AI driver later dropped to 4th.
The end result showed 1st.
 
Update: Didn't happen to me. I dropped to 12th, finished 12th, and didn't seem to get any EXP. It seems this trick will only work if you're sure you're going to be ahead by the end of the race. With the X1, you could proabably do it around hour 6 and still finish first. Not quite as useful as I'd hoped, but still an awesome find, and it proved its usefulness the first time I found it.

That's a shame and a waste of time too.
Odd that a comment in this video suggest otherwise:

If you are going to try this, fill up and replace tires with ~1.5 hours left, it should ensure the AI finishes and wins. Myself, I will endure the 4 hours but will try a second time just to test the glitch.

In the 9 hours it is kind of pointless to try it, since you would have to drive almost all of anyway to ensure victory. I do wish PD would have realized anything above 4 hours really needs a save option for busy people:/
 
Same thing happened to me, only I went from 1st place to last. It was also on Daytona Road course.



The Stalker
I had the exact same thing happen to me at Daytona Road course last week. The computer took over the driving just as described above.

The strange thing was, the car was being driven a lot quicker than my B-Spec Bob can. The back end was sliding and drifting, and the computer set a time only one second off my best lap!

This is too funny. When I start the A-Spec Enduros, you can bet I'll be punting the AI into the pits! 👍
 
Trouble with putting a 'save' command into an Enduro is, it stops it from being an Enduro! It becomes a series of small sprints, and we've GOT plenty of those!

Hopefully, an exploit of the save game can be found to untie achievement from the PSN, just like gifting is, and then all of those that want to win the Enduros without actually playing them (or playing them in a car four times faster than anything else, which isn't, IMO, even racing) can download an opened save game with every race completed, every trophy achieved, every car bought and upgraded...

Then they can go back to playing Mod Nation like they were before... confident that they really HAVE finally 'beaten' the game! :sly:
 
Question is!

1. How to repeat that successfully in all those endurances?
2. Does this glitch allows autopilot to go to pit stops every time when fuel reach 0% and tires are destroyed?

I think it's just random accident, that could not be repeated. Sadly though we all have to participate in A-Spec endurance races
 
The weirdest thing is happening to me right now. I was 2 hours in to the 9-Hour Tsukuba endurance event with my X2010. I entered the pit lane an a really high speed, the computer took over, spun out, tried to get to the pits by slamming against the walls, got hit by other cars, and did a lap. I thought it was just gonna do a lap and pit but no. It kept going!

Here's video as proof. Not the best but as you can see, my wheel isn't controlling the car. Also, note that I can pause... So it's not B-spec. And I swear I'm not using a controller.

I'll make a better video later. Although I'm wondering what will happen when the tires finally die out or the fuel runs out...


Update: Apparently this isn't the first time this happened to somebody. No need for another video. And... This glitch has made the car run out of fuel. It is just cruising constantly at 49 MPH and not pitting. If this happens to you, don't wait like I did. Just restart.

Yeah, I don't have a wheel but I'd imagine perfect lines like those in the X1 are difficult even with one... o_0

A fun case of game physics overwhelming game logic :lol:

I'd like to see it. Maybe I'll find out if I should just restart or not. Cause the car is almost out of fuel.

Someone said they regained contol somehow, maybe it was when it pitted, I can't remember and I can't find the thread.
 
Happened to someone last night in a free run after exiting the pits. It did reset itself so he can drive it.
