Doing it right now in a stock Peugot 908 HDI (Team Total).

So far my drivers did the fastest lap with 4:25:180, but only cause i keept pushing them. (car is stock with 680 HP)

Race started in the rain and it is still raining after 9 hours driven. The first 2 hours i gave my drivers instructions, so they managed to get a 3 minutes lead, driving laptimes around 4:26:xxx to 4:29:xxx.

I went to bed and slept 6 hours, guess what happened? Right, they drove now ~3 minutes behind the first car with laptimes around 4:44:xxx to 4:50:xxx.

I pushed them again before i got to work (where i am right now), so now they are only a few seconds behind the leading car which will pit the next round.

After work (in aprox 8 hours) i will be back home to kick there butts again, cause i know they will be minutes behind the leading car again.

Immo that "fall asleep" pace tempo is annoying.

(should i have wrote this into race-reports?)

Well, i´ll write down the rest of the race now.

So i came home from work, switched the tv on and was shocked:

The track was dry and my drivers drove on racing hards and were 2 laps behind the leading car (Bentley Speed 8) in 6th place now. Well with 16 of 24 hours over i tried to pull off a win, but was not sure if my drivers could do it. I called them into the box to refuel (only as much as needed to safe time) and put on raceing medium tyres.

After 18:30:xx hours my drivers had one lap gap to the leaders (1st Pescarolo C60 Hybrid, 2nd Bentley Speed 8). I kept holding my drivers in 3:40:xxx laptimes and got closer to the leaders.

I managed to shrink the gap between the first car and mine to 2:44:116 Minutes after 19:44:xx hours.

Push, push and the 2nd place was mine driven 20:48:xx hours now. The Pescarolo was 41:445 seconds infront but went into the pit, so after 20:53:xx hours the first was in striking range (4.976 seconds).

Leadchange in lap 283 after 20:56:xx hours!

RACE OVER: 329 laps driven, fastest time 3:35:660 and the VICTORY.

That was tough, i was not sure if my drivers could do it, but they did!

And my PS3 slim? Outstanding job! She now gets her break after 24 hour nonstop running.

Took 3 drivers, all around level 31 to 32. (i allways take the suggested driver amount, so all of them get exp.)
 
I think the bobs drive much too slow when in a safe lead, the pace going down to far left is really destroying lap times, and forces you to command when you really shouldn't have to...
 
I have a similar story to be honest and had to push mine all the way whenever I could.

I won easily eventually but through the night bob lost lots of pace and time.

Get your revenge by running the next 24 hour race in the x2010 Red bull lol
