Endurance Race Statistics

[Ilpav]

Let's start a thread about how you did during the endurance races (high average speed = good, basically.)


I just finished my first endurance race, the Grand Valley 300km, in my GT-R SpecV, in 2:13:12 doing 1 pit stop and was well over a lap ahead of 2nd place.

According to GTPlanet, the exact length of the course is 4.96 km X 60 laps = 297.6 km.

2:13:12 = 2.2203 hours (2 hours + minutes/60 + seconds/3600).

Avg. Spd. = 297.6 km/2.2203 hours = 134.04 km/h.

So I'll start a chart to see who did the best. I don't know if you can see your results if you did it already, but if you can't, then this will be for people who just did it.

Post your statistics for every endurance race you did (if you can find what time you did and in what car), and I'll post a different chart for each race.

Sorry if this sounds like a newb question as I have not unlocked endurance races yet (Been spending a lot of time leveling 5 B-Spec drivers, and my B-Spec is now higher level than my A-Spec :lol).

Lets say I start a long race, 4 hours or so, does the game still lets you pause normally so that I can pause, run to the store/sleep/work and then come back later to finish the race? (Hoping that my power doesn't go out)

In A-spec, you can simply pause the race just like any other race, but I don't think you can pause in B-spec (since you can't pause during normal races, you probably won't be able to in the endurance races either).

I did read some rumors about how in the longer races (9, 24 hours) you will be able to actually save your progress when you do a pit stop, so you don't have to leave your PS3 on while you go to sleep, or whatever. I really hope that is true, because even though this game is supposed to be realistic (which it is), I think doing a real-time 24 hour race without saving and letting your PS3 take a break (yes, that's right...) is overdoing it.

I hope the saving in the pit is true as well. My apartment complex gets frequent power outages because of drunk drivers smashing into power transformers just down the road.
