Very very tempting...any more endurance races 'the smiths' will be going on and I'll be writing my last will n testament

This will be the first endurance race for me in GT5 (because of the prize car).
I still have 4+ levels to go until 30, though.

Do you need to pit in these races?
In all other (at least A-Spec) events tire wear and fuel consumption are turned off, it seems.

I used the 88c-v pit in about lap 32, fuels usually fine tires are shredded, if the AI takes u out tires will take a beating.
Ma mate used the FGT and said he pitted for fuel at lap 35 tires where fine.
I did try running racing hards thinking they would last longer but oddly the softs seemed to last better.
It's an easy race u'll lap the competition many times, well worth it for the jag XJ13, cracking motor 👍

I´m worried about my right thumb. It starts to ache after my usual 5 x Like the Wind-Indy, which is 25 laps (with small pauses).

As I mentioned I slapped a heavy weight on ma pedal and just steered. For thumb stress just hit pause dood and watch the TV for a bit

Edit: mebbe selotape? U never brake and only have to change up once coming out the pits just a hellva lot of left hand bends...

Thanks for the tip! Haven´t thought of that.

Has anyone done the 24 hour races? Do you have to race the ENTIRE time or do you get a B-Spec driver as a partner?

Level 26 still waiting for the Formula GT. I've done first endurance race and you get 113K in experience.
