Endurance Racing in Career

[TheClarky]

Anyone here know how to pick your car for the invites?

 

[Animera]

When you enter the event for the 1st time, there is a 'Select car' option.

Wow great to hear about these enduro races.
I am running Pcars on ps4. I have always wanted a sim racer on console since I was a kid looking at all those amazing PC games haha.... Finally the day has come.
I had done a few of the single player enduros through out the GT game series and held a few 2 - 3 hr races on GT5.
Really looking forward to some real endurance racing in Pcars.
Cheers

Is track temperature featured in the ps4 also?

Each year you enter an event you always get this option I believe

 

[Animera]

Yes, I meant when you enter it for practice (1st time you enter) you can select the car. You can't reselect at quali time for example.

Signed a contract for WEC in a LMP1 - season 5. This car is really great to drive and the endurance races in the series are awesome! Sorry for the quality, made the video on my iPhone while Bob was driving.

 

[Animera]

Just over an hour into a 6hr Bathurst race and running in 7th.
Wondering if Bob and I can pull off a win.

Are you having any issues at all with Bob retiring? I haven't tried another endurance race yet.

 

[Animera]

No, but what I have done is set damage and penalties off so Bob can't stuff up.
I also run the AI on 80% in endurance to make up for Bob's slowness, so I have a chance to catch up after his stints.
So far my endurance races are much more fun now.

 

[Animera]

After racing through the night, Bob and I got up to 6th place.

And then we drove like maniacs during the day, and check the result!
Really chuffed and Bob did a great job.

Congrats on the win! That's a lot of commitment!

Just a quick question - what cars/classes were in the race and did some cars do better than others (like the Mono mostly filling the top 10 etc) or was the result random? Also, were there any weather changes? I'm just about to enter this race, still figuring out what the best car for the event is!

 

[Animera]

I've done it 3 times now. First time was in the Audi V10, 2nd time in the McLaren and 3rd time in the Bac Mono.
The Bac Mono was the easiest win. The McLaren is very fast but needs to pit a lot.

Were all the cars Road B or was it multi-class? Also, how many times did you pit in each?
Thanks

Are these races Original or did you just ecstend the race lenght?

Let me know what races are endurance races

 

[Animera]

There are a lot of different cars in the event. If you go to 'Select Car' before entering the Practice session, you can look through them. (RUF's, McLarens, Monos, Ariels, Caterhams)

There was some rain during the race, also some fog, and full day/night/day transition.

These are races in your race calendar when you get invites for them. The Bathurst race is a 25hr race, but I reduced it to 6 hrs.

 

[gillesthegt6]

Can you tell me when you get invited for this race?

 

[Animera]

I'm in season 8 and I got the invite in season 1 when I was driving Karts, so I don't know what triggered the invite.

 

[gillesthegt6]

But the 24H of le mans and spa are carreer event right
?

 

[Animera]

Yes, you get them if you accept a WEC contract. The 25hrs Bathurst, 25hrs Green Hell and another 24hrs Le Mans are invitational events, so once you get them they appear in your calendar every year.

 

[gillesthegt6]

Is there any way to see when these races will come so i can prepare??

 

[Animera]

The 25hrs Bathurst, 25hrs Green Hell and 24hrs Le Mans are always near the end of the season for me.
You can look ahead in your calendar to see what races are coming up.

 

[Animera]

This weekend Bob and I are going to attempt the full 24hrs Le Mans in the GT4 class.
Are any others doing this race over the weekend?

 

[Animera]

Bob and I will be starting the 24hr Le Mans in the GT4 class soon.
We'll be starting from the back and see how we do.

Which series? and what round?

and which Ai skill and difficulty are you using and FOV

 

[Animera]

Bob is driving now. It's the invitational event at the end of each career season.
The AI is on 85%.
I had 2 spins and then had 'Pit occupied' when I came in for my pitstop so I had to crawl around for another lap to save fuel and then pit.
We're still last, so we have a long race ahead of us.

Yes your stream is very fun to watch maybe i will consider watching the full race

 

[gillesthegt6]

Can Bob be turned off in a race?

 

[Animera]

Yes, you can do the whole race yourself if you want.
You can also use the 'Pit in' command to call him in at any time if you want to take over the driving again.

good luck
