Yes. I want it to be realistic, too. Ferris wheel and all.
Tsukuba 9 Hours...What to replace it with.

9 hours of wasted time when buying cars, car maintenance, offline garage, etc. Wait, that's already in the game.
In the end endurance races in gt6 shouldn't last more than 6 hours. More than that is unrealistic (for people that care about that. Individual driver one stint) and tedious, the opposite of fun.

W-w-what.....? I think anything over 3 hours is too much for me to handle on a video game. That's just scary!
Nah.. Tsukuba 8 hours is better.

As long as there is true multi-class racing with strict PP and class limits then I'd have no problem.
For example - the 24 hours of Le Mans should have two (or more, but lets assume that we'll be getting 2) classes, GT1 and LMP1.
Both classes should have severe tuning restrictions in place that prevent you from modifying the weight or power of the car too drastically. This would result in more fun and challenging enduros.
Another cool thing would be if PD included every car that started on the grid in real life, starting on the grid in the endurance. This would be nice to have in other races like F1 and V8 Supercars (though I severely doubt this will happen).
Even if that isn't included, I don't want any BS like Group C cars in the 24h of Le Mans in the 21st century. No Minoltas and 787Bs, just Speed 8s, R8s, 908s etc.

Most of the races i like to see replace Tsukuba 9hrs with have been mentioned. So..
Spa 6hrs, Bathurst 1000km, Sebring 12hrs, Daytona 24hrs, Petit Le-Mans.
Also like the idea of an Enduro on Deep Forest or Trail Mountian tracks.
But have more cars on grid, and 2 different classes. GT&LMP1 or even have LMP2s in GT6.

After recently completing this hell race-
-Weather and day night progression are absolutely essential for such a race.
-Raise the grid count to 16.
-Use a slower, harder to drive class of cars, 1960's road vehicles limited to sports tyres for instance, Tsukuba is a mind numbingly easy track especially with the full race beasts used in that race, harder to drive slower cars would make it more of a challenge and in turn more interesting. Still 3 to 4 hundred horsepower for a fast pace just not the on rails racers that are currently used EVERYWHERE.
-Environmental occurrences, aircraft passing in the background, smoke drifting over the barriers, leaflets/bags blowing over the track, just some signs of life.

Its been a long time but if I remember correctly the 9 hour race in GT4 was on Motegi.
9 hours on Tsukuba is far to long, even the 4 hour race there is very boring. Almost anything would be an improvement.

I wouldn't say so. Six hours or more sounds pretty standard to me in modern day endurance racing. It would be a misrepresentation of Endurance Racing if they were to not include the multiple 24 hour events that take place year on year.
I agree that this should have been present in GT5, because 16 was the maximum amount of cars on track that were available, but for future titles it should definitely be raised to at least above 20 cars for longer races. Otherwise it can feel awfully lifeless driving round a larger circuit and only encountering another driver once in a blue moon.
The race you're thinking of was the 8 hours of Twin Ring Motegi. The 9 hours of Tsukuba was still included, unfortunately.
This would brings me back to the original point of the thread, replacing the long, Tsukuba drag. They could quite easily implement more Endurance Races, new and old. On GT4 they managed to include many different races that took place over hundreds of kilometres, to thousands. There was even a Fuji 1000KM, where did that go?
I think if the Endurance Series are to be successful on GT6, there just needs to be more common sense. Day and Night transitions are a must now that we've got more real life tracks where bigger races are actually held, Daytona and Spa.

Why?
They are already done so it's not going to take time to add them. I'm sure some people enjoy them. More never hurts.
