24 hour endurance

Has anyone did that rediculous race? If so please let us know, bc as far as I know, theres no way to pause it, so basically at this point Im fixing to skip it.

Done it b-spec and won a nice Toyota GT-One...

You can pause it in A spec........

Press start just like you would in any other race

Yup, you can PAUSE it, but you can't stop and save; if you pause, you have to leave the unit on. Shouldn't be an issue - mine's been on and running B-spec enduros pretty much non-stop for weeks now. Bob's doing the LeMans 24h as we speak.

ok thanks for the answers ppl, i thought B spec was the same as A.
I hope my pause works when i try the 24 hr.

I have done it twice the 24hr LeMans. I run with the X1 and what I do is.

1. Run 4 Hours, pause, and Take 40min break.
2. Run 4 Hours
3. Take an 8hr Nap
4. Repeat step one and two, but instead of 40min is 8hr due to work.

Lap time avg is 2:17:xxx with fastest being 2:14:xxx and slowest being 2:24:xxx

I usually nap through the night section of the race since I get headaches. I win the race with two laps to spear.

I'm 300,000 points from getting to LV 38

It's unusual that in A-spec you can't have a B-spec driver take over for a while. Real-life endurance races, like the 24 Hours of Le Mans or the 24 Hours at Daytona, have multiple drivers take turns driving in shifts, and are never done by a single driver. Players shouldn't have to pause it, but rather should be able to hand the car over to Bob for a while, and maybe even to multiple Bobs since that's how it works in reality.

Then again, expecting players to leave a game console running for 24+ hours is pretty unrealistic to begin with. It doesn't matter if this person and that one chimes in saying "I've done it" because it remains an unrealistic expectation of a normal human being. People simply don't do that. There really should have been an option to save, quit, and resume.

What about Folding@home? When I first got my console I was doing that almost nonstop if I wasn't playing a game. So it would literally be on for weeks.

Why is it unrealistic.

If you have an X1, you only need to actually race for 18 or 19hrs. Once you reach that point and have a big enough lead, 100+ laps, you can park on the lawn somewhere and go to sleep.

Get a group of friends together and make it an event, start out on the smaller endurance races and then build to the 24 hours LeMans.
