LOOOOONG Endurance Race?

Eric. K · Apr 7, 2009

I was just gauging interest in a VERY long endurance race in EVO (3+ hours). Most likely GT-Pros.

It looks as we can run up to 120laps at any track (at least that's the max I can setup in a dedicated server and what I see when I join the game). I might just add some AI and let it run over night. If that works then a ~2min track x 120 = ~240mins = 4hours

And thus you will have created the 4 Hours of Spa.

Ok but what about the track? Maybe Spa2004 would be fun.

:no:

...2003 is betta.

Bob Miley · Apr 9, 2009

Oh yes, specially on a track like Sepang.

Well, is that true? What if I specify 100 laps at Spa?

Just read this and Spa is out for me, have never made through without skidding off so I would be a danger to others, but have fun guys.

Bob, lol... nothing is set yet... I do LOVE Sepang.... What laptimes do GT-Pros run there?

IF we get enough people, We should all get the GTR 2 conversion pack, (totally badass) with the FIA cars, get a 12 hour of sebring going and call it a night. Have maybe two different classes running. WOuld be really badass.

I was just doing a 50 lap on it with the AI but I got punted and sent into the world below the track lol. Was on lap 30 too what a bummer.

Really fun with the different ferraris, porsches, everything.

I was running Aston Martin around sebring track a few weeks ago and it was fun.

I dont know... I am not a huge fan of Sebring, however I'll keep it in mind.

Regardless of what track I say we should definitely get the GTR 2 conversion pack out to everyone who joins. I've been using them non stop since I downloaded it. So much fun.

Thats just the three add ons. They have WAY more in this pack.

They have em all. I just can't get enough out of the porsches.

The big difference is that the 3 cars we are using so far have GTRE physics while the rest of the GTR2GT cars are still using GTR2 physics making them very unbalanced.

That's the main reason why they are not used here.

I'm pretty sure they use the same tire physics. But we could just make it a GTR2 race only just using the FIA gt 2003 and 2004 cars. There's pleanty to choose from. Eh I just really wanna use to the porsche.

OK guys. I setup something. We will see how it is received as I think it is a little nuts!!

Unless I am at work or the RDTCC is running, I am down for some more endurance action. I really wish I was off for the one on the 10th. Love the chosen track and I feel very much at home in the GT Sports.
