Rather stupidly i decided to attempt this race. Its gotta be done in a Mazda MX-5 (or Roadster)
Fortunately there isn't a limit on tuning, so before you do it, whack everything on it. :grin:
Currently half way through (at the 2 hour point) on lap 115
Fastest lap came in on lap 83 at 0:58.767 seconds and averaging around 1:06 per lap roughly
15 laps ahead of 2nd place, 16 laps ahead of everyone else
and i gotta say, its got pretty boring now :grin:
-
2 and a half hours in now...lap 144
running soft racing tryes...definitely the best option. I've run this race on hard tyres and intermediates, both were knackered after 20 minutes, been running on these soft tyres for 40 minutes now and thats them just dropped off and needing replaced now with a lap time of 1:05
only an hour and a half to go, then bedtime! woohoo :rolleyes:
-
1 hour to go!!
new fastest lap was put in on lap 154 with a time of 0:58.604
currently done 174 laps which averages out at 58 laps per hour so my aim is to have completed 230 laps by the 4 hour mark!
-
Done!
4 hours, 233 laps
fastest lap was 0:58.216

:grin: Excellent work mate! The longest Ive done was a 35 lap race on forza 2, that took a long time. I forgot to pit and ended up with a failed gearbox on the last lap too.

You sir are a Psycho!
What do you get for winning?
Worth the 4 hours?!

lol, yeah, that sense of complete boredom was taken away from me 3 years ago :D
maybe thats why im so excited about having an xbox again, even though i can only play on it when shes not watching eastenders lol
-
Might have a crack at this later on, only done one endurance race on it so far and was so tempted to turn it off and do something else half way through.
What did you win for doing it?
-
hahaaa. okay, yes wherry, im single.... :grin: lol, i also suffer from insomnia, so to be honest, it was either do that race, or watch bbc news 24 all night, which is slightly more boring.
as for the prizes, total con! just under 200,000cr....so i thought, well...must be a decent car for doing it then....oooo no, some crappy mazda jobbie from the 60's lol
think i'll be hiring a really poor kid to come round and do the 9hr and 24hr races for me
-
Me and a mate just did this, I actually died a little inside I think.
Both of us were actually starting to feel quite tired and run down after about 150 laps :grin:
Might try the Laguna Seca 200mile at the weekend but start at lunchtime instead of 9pm :rolleyes:

Used to do the 24 hr races on GT4 by doing 1 hour sessions to build a lead followed by several to let the computer driver lose all of that lead and took several days to do it. It was a simpler way of doing the enduro's to get the golds :nerd: but Im guessing they have stopped you doing that. Le-mans is a deathly boring track in a game! Did help me learn how to set sub-5 minute lap times on the ring though :nerd: :nerd: :nerd:
