Suggestion to have endurance races in Sport mode.

[GA 52]

Maggiore, Le Mans, Kyoto Driving Park, Kyoto Driving Park Yamagiva+Miyabi, using Gr1, Gr2 and Group X (older than 1959 models) + (newer than 1959).

Lasting from 1/2 to 1 hour.

Any comments? Is it a wish worth trying to get?

I actually welcome endurance races.

1 hour or 2 hour Nurburgring 24 circuit would great too.

I would also like to see racing teams. I would want to see 2 players in a team. Working together with tyre and fuel strategies.

Imagine the penalties handed out. There'd be only one player left.

I think 2 laps of N24, is the longest race at about 18-21minutes? A 1H Gr.4 race would be cool. Serious strategy would come into play.

1 - 2h as a team would be so cool...

I'd love me some enduros! And this calls for Group C segregation! There's no possible way Group C cars can stand a chance with Gr. 1 in terms of fuel economy now can it? Also it'd be nicer in general if we have a group solely for them. GT500 has Gr. 2, so why not Group C PD?

In endurance races the field will be much more spread out, with pockets of mini-races ranging between 2-4 drivers instead of 2 big dogfights with everyone fighting for 1st and 12th, so in the long-run we would get relatively less penalties

1 - 2h as a team would be so cool...

Yes please
How does this work DR/SR wide though?

I agree with you on that issue, I didn't want to include the 24hr Nurn as it is too difficult to overtake clean. The other tracks looks better. What you think 05XRB and SestoScudo?

Suzuka has a gentle T1, so not much carnage at the first lap. It's also much harder to overtake around there, which could lead to some interesting strategies with drivers trying to either jump on others in the pits or get out of sync with the other drivers' in-laps

I would love it if GT added endurance racing, but there are quite a few things that need to be added/changed for it to work well.
Ideally it would have multi class racing, with more 20 cars on the track at once (30 are needed at a minimum).
Driver swaps are also needed for proper endurance races. Teams picked before the race start and the ability to leave the lobby and rejoin at any time if you aren't driving.
They also have to add a relative time so you can see where lapped/lapping cars are.
Damage needs to be on heavy and modelled in more detail and repair times need to be increased. I think this is very important for endurance racing as a big part of the challenge is finishing the races.

I think the best way to run these would be as special events, with maybe only 1 or 2 races a week to ensure that there is a good strength of field.
DR of all of the team should be averaged to give a final DR rank, and SR should use the lowest take the score from the lowest driver.

Pretty much any configuration at Lago, DT, YAMAGIWA, Le Mans for sure, as well as Interlagos and Suzuka(I know, crazy choice, right?). I feel the last two tracks mix up the field. Whether by people's mistakes and/or pit strategy, the tracks keep you busy.

Endurance Races in Sport Mode really needs to be added. I've lost all interest in the short sprint race's and the chaos that follows them.
Not sure I agree with multi-class though as people can't race clean now so I can just imagine the **** storm that would follow with cars of different speeds running together.

Just keep it One class a day.
Monday Gr.B
Tuesday N-Class One Make
Wednesday Gr.1
Thursday Gr.2
Friday Gr.3
Saturday Gr.4
Sunday Gr.X

I would be really happy with that.

I agree and like your suggestions very mucho! Cheers - . Who's gonna get pole today? (Canada) .

 

[Sander 001]

Race A: 15min
Race B: 30min
Race C: 60min

I’d be happy with that as long as GT3 is included

 

[Auditore]

Race D for Endurance Races with Tuning allowed,it will be a mini championship and at the end of the week the player with more points wins

 

[Guffaluff]

I'd love endurance races, 45-90min, even longer maybe. The lack of long races is the main reason I started hosting a local endurance league where races last 1hr +/-.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I might be, but I feel like I remember PD mentioning something about endurance races in sport mode that would be included in the future.

Really hope so at least.

Otherwise, organized races in Lobby mode are always an option, but I'd love to see it included in Sport Mode.

I would love Endurance races, but they would have to be rare, and should take Race A´s place during weekends.
And of course for FIA races

Agreed. I have been wanting multi class racing for quite some time. And now with the inclusion of Circuit de la Sarthe we have a track tailor made for this type of racing. There would be plenty of room for a Gr1 to overtake a Gr3 without any problem.

Weekends would be the perfect time for an endurance race. Since we usually get **** races on the weekend anyways.
