Good luck to you on that. ^_^

Just be sure you can do about 8 minute laps, then you should have a good race with the AI all through the race.

 

[spikeyhairdude]

Thanks. Btw how long has your ps3 been on for.

Sorry guys! Power outage at just under 10 hours in. -_-

That really effing sucks

I think electricity providers don't like Gran Turismo for some strange reason...

 

[spapadillion]

Bad news. Battery backup's where it's at.

 

[spapadillion]

Wait a sec, you left your PS3 on for 16 days to do 10 hours of racing? At that rate, it would have taken you a month and a half to do just the one event. Now that's dedication.

 

[jeep2008]

This all proved ,for one more time, the immediate need for a mid-endurance-race-save patch!!!!

 

[Welsh-Fury]

I plan on trying again in the next week or so so this thread isn't a complete waste. Same field, similar weather, ect.

 

[Yev]

Unlucky... :/

That sucks. I finish my first 24 hour race le mans in 3 days

 

[Antonisbob]

That sucks, but who can afford to leave there PS3 on that long? I think it's a waist of energy. I did the Le Mans 24 in two days, 12 hours one & 12 the next, then a day later I did it again. Pretty much did 2 of them in 4 or so days.

that's fairly impressive but keep in mind that's Le Mans not the Nurburgring, Le Mans is less demanding. But that's still a hard thing to do(for me anyways).

 

[FishHunters]

Absolutely love your thread! Great job and good luck!!!

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of a huge technical tracks though so I'll probably do this 24hr race only once.

 

[Ryou]

This is good, nice idea.

 

[jedi09]

Great thread, now Im looking forward to the 24 hour.

I wonder if lap-times are decreased due to the cooler temperature increasing both power and traction (Cooler track = more grip). If GT5 had this ability, I would be amazed.

 

[bLAKESTER 97]

I was really excited!
Stupid power supplies, you should sue them for 1,000,000 cr!
Can't wait till you try again!

 

[Welsh-Fury]

Finally revived and back in action with the same field and dry weather all the way through the race to the 9 hour margin. Going for broke now to finish this race with the 2D!

 

[Antonisbob]

Nice, I'm at the 11 hour mark.. when does the sun begin to rise.. somewhere around 13 or 14 hours I guess. Also, your 2D has about 100 more HP than mine?

..Oh well, I'm leading by a lap anyway.

Damn, a lap?

Is the AI running 7:50~ laps from your side? When I set my 7:48 lap, I made almost no time on second.

 

[Antonisbob]

Yeah, I started the race in rain.. might be part of the reason as to why I'm so far ahead. But I do beleive the R10 is catching me now.. (I'm at 18 hours) They must be pretty slow.
