Just unlocked the S series and noticed that there are 24 minutes races instead of 24hrs, not even a single hour required to complete one of the races, what's the point of putting such a beautiful weather system without 24hrs races?
 
that would be horrible, i mean why do they put in all the GT3 racers from the Nurburgring24 oder the R18 when there is no endurance 24h race...
 
I've completed all the races in the S series, no endurance races have appeared yet, so they've either scrapped them or are going to introduce them in an update.
 
This is almost as rough of a start as GTA Online during its first month...

Why is it always a broken record with PD? I mean I still have plenty to do in the game but there are just some things, such as said endurance races, that I really must have in the game.
 
Well If the 24hrs of Le Mans endurance race race is not put in I'll be upset, I do it with friends every year on the weekend of the actual race.
I think the endurance races will be added when the b-spec update comes out. If they don't, then I think it was absolutely stupid of them (PD) to do the accurate star layout for Le Man.
 
PD being PD and doing what they do best. Sucking at game design.

Classic PD. Why didn't they put the endurances and let people decide if they want to do them in 24 minutes, couple of hours or the full 24 hours?

Why they have to alienate people who played every single release of the series in the past 15 years?

Sadly, now Kaz gets his hibernate time, nobody could talk to anyone in PD (someday, perhaps, they'll discover the marvellous world of internet, press releaes, communication and direct channel to the fans) to figure if the endurances will come back or not.

Full endurance racing was a big differential in GT series to me. Now, there is what? Those inefficient PC simulators?

GT6 mended some very nasty wrongs of GT5, but the lack of endurances makes the game arcadish and empty to me.
 
Just to throw this idea out there, What with PD's fascination with EV's these days its probably because 24 minutes is about the maximum an electric car will run for without needing to charge its batteries.

My expreience with endurence races so far with GT5 has been, they are just a grind. You get a car that can kill everything else, pass everything on the first couple of turns, and baby sit the game till the clock runs out. There's no way to loose. If these events carry through 6 there should be tighter pp limits to better match the competition.

Have you tried with a weaker car?

R10 is lots of fun and strategy. If you are a consistent driver, the race is decided by pits and rubber/gas economy.
 
For the 24 hr races waiting for bspec makes sense.

But why not throw a few 300km or 2 hr races in there for now?

Because PD is run and staffed by incompetent people. That much is very obvious.
 
Good. I certainly don;t have the time to do 24 hour endurance races during the work week. I guess they pulled stats on how many people actually completed the endurance races in GT5 and came to this decision.
That makes sense - though I would like the option still to do so the old-fashioned way, especially with the nuances of lighting now in the game - mind you, it pretty much rained all night during the two GT5 24hr races :lol:
 
Game has been out for 3 days , I'm sure there were priorities and 24h races are not that important day 1 , but with all that marketing talk about always evolving game , I'm positive that they can add tons of stuff later (as they already did in GT5).
 
If it's coming with B-Spec, it's actually a good thing. In fact, doing these 24 hours races on your own (unlike in GT4 where you could share the drive with your B-Spec driver), was the worst thing I calme across in a GT game. Didn't have all this time to spare for a race that was never a real challenge anyway (you wouldn't embark on a 24 hours race if you weren't sure to win it, would you?). So, let's wait and see.
 
They have mini endurances so far in my experience. I'm sure the "big" long ones are hidden until you unlock more, like it was in GT5.
 
Why? because YOU don't like them:confused:
That seems very selfish:yuck:

Joke. :bowdown:

To be honest, I don't care if they come or not because I will never spend 24 hours a race, but I do feel for those who want them back. I do not see any reason removing them :confused:

Enjoy.

What if we make some sort of very demanding thread about this? Maybe, just maybe, they see it and realise that there are players interested in the endurances.

Just give people the option to do them in a shorter time and everybody will be happy.
 
I really do hope they bring 24-hour races in near future, or at least longer races than 30 minutes. 24 minute "endurance" races are disappointing, night comes and goes, same as for rain which stops sooner before it even starts. Besides, rain is always scripted, for example Le Mans always starts with 60% wet track and in Suzuka 10-laps rain comes around halfway of the race. What a waste of nice weather and time system they've developed.

Also, tire wear and fuel depletion needs to be added back to arcade race, why on earth these were removed!? Why would i ever want to select more than 5 lap races in arcade, if theres no need to visit pit? Maybe PD should add event creator or whatever it is called, where you select track, laps, weather and time (or time limit if you want to make your own endurance race) and AI opponents, wasnt Kaz talking about something like this sometime ago?

I'm fine with the event creator concept. I would set a endurance series and spend the whole year racing my very own championship with crazy long races.
