Can someone confirm saving during endurance races?

Like the title says, can we save during endurance races? If not I doubt i'll ever finish a 24h one...not running the risk of my ps3 dieing on me, especially since we can't backup our save files!!! (Utterly ridiculous move on PD's part).

I don't know who's idea it was to lock the ability to create a backup of your save file, especially for a game that people will dump hundreds or thousands of hours into, and especially if people are going to be running their ps3's for days on end to do these undurance races.

Please comment on this PD.

It has been confirmed, in other threads, that there is no option to save during endurance races

Why does PD hate the idea of saving so much? You'd think the ability to save during long races and create a backup save file would be a MUST for this game...

Add that to the list of things that may need to be fixed in this game, and honestly to me that's something that I can wait for. Endurance races arent THAT bad, and they are called endurance races for a reason.

I haven't tried this yet, but can you put a B-Spec driver in the car when you pit (as you could in GT4)?

But on real endurance races, the same driver doesn't do the whole thing. At least let us swap some b-spec drivers in there.

They're an endurance for a driver. Not a PS3.

Yes I understand, but not allowing to save during endurance races is just a huge amount of unnecessary risk. You risk that your ps3 will fail, which will also cause you to lose your save game...

I'd be willing to bet a lot of people are going to fall victim to this, and in my eyes, it would have been a waste of $70.

Exactly. The problem here is the consoles getting fried, not us.

As was stated, there is already a saving during endurance races thread here. In the future, please do the staff a favor and do a quick search before starting a new thread.
