24 Hr Races

[BRP17]

I searched.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
I've run 3 24hr B-Spec races.
Each time, instead of a nice sunrise, I get rain.

Just a question: aren't you scared of burning you ps3 by leaving it on 24hours straight ?

I had a scare yesterday.
Thought it was my PS3. Screen went green, @ the last race of Dream Car.
I reset the game twice, only to have the same screen.
Turned out to be my TV. Lucky it reset itself after being off for 10 minutes.
I recently had my PS repaired by gophermods.
I have a year warranty on it. Currently it's very well vented, and at times,
I my cabinet fan, which cools all my components.
I've keep it on for 3 days straight to get my driver to L40.
Once this 24 is done {9 hrs} I won't do it again for a while.

Don't be afraid of leaving it on for days at a time. Mine has been on for 10 days straight now. No issues at all. It's better for longevity to leave it on.

My PS3 is now running nonstop for 3 or 4 days, Bob has a lot of driving to do...

I did the 24 hours Le Mans race in b-spec and it didn't rain at all. At least not when I was watching, which wasn't all that often.

One thing i was wondering about the 24 hour races.

I'm guessing they start at around the same time of the day?

Le Mans in RL starts at 14.00 as far as I know no idea about Nurb 24h.

Sounds about right.
I keep track of that race, did not with this one {Nurburgring} which looked
pretty cool at night.

Thinking of doing one of the at the Weekend so was wanting to start it about the same time so its dark there when it is here.

Traditionally it's 4pm local time, it's been a few different times over the years though for various reasons. Last year was 3pm and it will be this year as well I think.

I did mine yesterday, and after 7 Hours turned off, i started it again, just to play online when my machine suddenly just wouldn't join free-ride.
Turns out that my Blue-ray player got screw'd.

Don't worry about leaving your PS3 on -- provided it isn't in a place where it can overheat. Starting your computer is the most damaging thing to it because of the initial power surge (you do have it connected to a surge suppressor, right?). Banks, data warehouses, businesses, mainframes, etc., NEVER turn off their computers. NEVER. So if your PS3 is kept cool, don't worry about it.

But one last time -- make sure it doesn't overheat.
