none at all. 24 hrs of solid daylight--which is absolutely silly but what can you do?

No.

You know, in terms of gameplay the Enduros are the area of biggest disappointment for me (after AI). I've said this many times before, but pick up a copy of Le Mans 24hrs to see how Enduros should be done. Big grids with different classes, weather (effecting grip), weather forecasts, pit action, changing settings in the pits, atomsphere eg big cheering crowds as you go past the main stands) and day/dusk/night/dawn either at real time or with a 3x time (clock only) setting turning a 24hr into an 8hr race.

Sure you can't do all that with the GT4 on the PS2 but day/night and pit saves should have been done. But maybe I'm being ignorant and 24hr racing in Japan is done when the sun doesn't set.

PD owe it to their customers to check out that game before giving us GT5.

I agree, totally. It's pretty damn dull to drive 24hours when every last second of the race is the same, no changing in weather, not enough cars (five rival cars just isn't quite enough), and the AI being so STUPID. I mean, you can get the gap it needs to win the race in 2 laps, maybe even faster. Those 2 laps taking somewhat 12 minutes. So after those 2 laps it's 23 hours 48 minutes of sunday drivin' 'round da 'Ring dude... It's from [insert the A-word here]!!!

Welcome to the GTP.

A Search will reveal this thread, which discusses this issue extensively.
