We had a power failure last nite i was playing aspec and had 1 lap to go (it was only a level 20, 10 lap race nothing big) but it was still annoying, now if it happened to me or someone running an endurance race that would piss some ppl off, especially me.
Putting an in game save feature is the right thing to do, ppl can still play it how it was intended to do like play the whole endurance race non stop. Its your choice to save it and come back to it later. Its a great feature that shud of been in the game to start with.

Because GT5 is a driving simulator(or is supposed to be one) and not an RPG and usually racing fans like to test their skills in terms of how fast one can be instead how patient one is, for being for a straight 24 hour in front of a Tv screen playing a videogame:
On the other hand videogames,at least for me, are supposed to be fun...let You stress out from your working routine,relax,enjoy...and sitting for a straight 24 hour in front of a silver screen,playing a videogame to get a virtual trophy or virtual credits,or whatever,isn't, probably, most people idea of fun...

I welcome the news of a save function for endurance races, 4 hours or 100 laps I can do but I will admit that 24 full hours of sitting and playing is not my idea of fun but doing in one race I find crazy and I dof my hat to those who have tackled such feats. I'm glad I didn't attempt them.
So, you actually think the game designers intended for one person to sit and run an endurance race, by themselves, for 24 hours straight? If that's what you think, grab you some Red Bull, cocaine and keep a medic on standby and knock yourself out, bud. I won't because I am not that stupid.
Real 24hr races are handled by a team of 3-5 drivers. Each driver essentially gets a pause/save for 2-3 hours while one of the other drivers goes out. Not really an endurance race, huh? Tool!!

It is endurance if you want to do it in one go, it isn't if you want to do a bit at a time. Why does a person who wants to do it in one go wish to not allow another person to do it in parts if they feel like it ?
It is the same argument against car traders, why do people who don't want to run 2 or 3 accounts not want anyone else to ?
People who want to do it in bits don't say that no-one should be allowed to do it in one go, and people who have 2 accounts don't want to force everyone to have 2 accounts.
Can we not just play the the game and not shove our method of play down the throat of others who play differently please ?
Thanks.

I agree 100%. In many ways, games are not realistic but people should have option to judge how far they want to go. Pausing game is not realistic either(sorry mate, you have to piss your pants in endurace race to make it real)
) driving an entire 24h of the Nurburgring without pauses ..

Same here, but if that tweet is correct, I might actually run both 24 hour endurances races in A-Spec, which I would otherwise never do. The stupidest thing about the Nurburgring 24h Endurance Race is that you can't attempt it until you're Level 40, which takes forever, especially in A-Spec.
Then, according to a thread that I saw on GameFAQs, you earn over 9,000,0000 experience points for completing that race in A-Spec.....points that go to waste. This is the stupidest thing that they have done with this game. Both A-Spec and B-Spec Nurburgring 24h Endurance Races should be available at about Level 38, so that it can at least be useful to someone who is trying to get to the ultimate of Level 40.
- why should we be subject to the same nonsense.. 
Sorry but you are wrong. Like I said a few posts above, real 24 hr races are handled by 3-5 drivers. I think the short enduros (4hours or less) should be done in one sitting. Races like the 9 hour Tsukuba and the 24hr races should have a save because no one, in their right mind, would drive that long non-stop, in virtual or real life racing.
A save should be there because a pause only invites a power outage to wipe out the race.
I really can't believe this is being debated because their is NO debate about it in real life racing. I'll say this again for the learning impaired, "IN REAL LIFE, NO ONE DRIVER DRIVES FOR 24 HOURS".

So how do you do an endurance race then? By pausing the game and leaving your PS3 on while you're at work, havng dinner, socialising, spending time with your girlfriend etx? If you do then what's the issue with saving the game and turning your PS3 off instead or at least what's your issue with other people doing that.
Some people have a really skewed idea of what people should and shouldn't be allowed to do in GT games. It's still an endurance race if you save the game mid way through then resume it later or the next day in just the same way it's still an endurance race if you pause it to go to the loo, have your dinner, sleep or go to work etc and then resume it afterwards. You're still stoppping either way.
Pausing or saving the game doesn't change that you're still doing that race until you finish or quit, so it's not like the 24hr races would take less than 24hr races because you can save. It just means that more people have a chance to complete them.

Apparently an online money bug is going to get corrected in next update too.

What on Earth is "online money bug"?
Also, Shirakawa, I have a great plea for you. Is it possible that someone asks him on Japanese regarding removal of mandatory SRF in Bonus Races, Special Races and Licences as well as mandatory ASM from NASCAR races. Thank you in advance 👍

"Online money bug"? Serious lack of payout IMO.

Online money bug refers to remote racing or what?
