Re: 24hour race

I guess they put it in there so its more realistic, like the real 24hr races. I did them all in B-spec. I think either you have to be really bored, or have no life to do them all in A-spec.

Re: 24hour race

I personally donīt like it, because the daylight stays for 24 hours in the game. I would like to have night during 24 hours, then I would try to drive by A-spec.

Re: 24hour race

You just have to treat it like a series of smaller races. Drive an hour or two then quit. Then come back next day or whatever.

Re: 24hour race

Sorry. I didn't mean 'quit' as in exit. I meant pause and do something else.

I only watched LeMans the movie this year. There's 2 drivers to each car in LM racing. One can drive a maximum of 6 hours and then trade places. The other driver relaxes for the race. There's a flaw with GT4 though, since there's no online play it's hard to make some friends to race with you. I read online that if you've got a friend that plays, that's the best way. Other wise, take breaks, section it off, sleep, leave your ps2 on for a day or more.

Re: 24hour race

yea.. i bet they advise not to leave it on for more than maybe 2-4 hours on end

but then again.. you can go into b-spec then speed it up x3 so that's only 6 hours (+ pitstops) its accually going

That was in the 60's or 70's. Today its 3 drivers, they drive in 2 hour stints, total 8 hours each (more or less). Still pretty tough I'd say...

DAMN, I did not know that. I think I said this already but my friend left his ps2 on for a day (my game and memory), with the Nissan R92CP in b-spec, the race was so easy it wasn't even funny. We both raced a bit and then let b-spec win the race. As my treat I let him copy my memory onto his so he got the F1 also. As for the F1, "it's nice" and wicked fast. If your tires don't grip, guess what, YOU'RE GOING TOO FAST and it's so easy to drive you don't realize it.

Next I'm gonna check out Rfactor for the PC. F1 Sim

Re: 24hour race

Why not get some friends and race it. Do 20 laps per person and when one person is done they can go and get their drink on or wtv
