Do the championship races have to be run all at once?

[spdracer]

For instance the GT All Stars,can you start the championship,run a couple of races then come back to it in another session,or do you have to run them all once you start?

 

[opladener]

You have to run all of them in on session, I'm afraid.
I have no idea why, its just stupid

 

[prymet1me]

Hence the reason mine may never get done.

All at once, although you can pause between them and, if you can't continue for some reason, just leave the consol on and pick it back up when you get the time. I've had my PS3 running for two weeks now grinding endurances in Bspec so it can take it...

Either you have a slim or you have never had one die on you.

I have had one die on me, am using that console after I repaired it, and I did this.

I am stuck on the damn FGT Championship because of this lol...

you MIGHT want to turn that off for a bit lol...

 

[BoneSawTX]

doing them in A spec isn't that bad, B-spec has been a test of my patience.

 

[Abscissa081]

Yes you have to run them all, but you can skip a race if you can still win by points. On a side note, I thought you had to do all of the individual races first, then the series. So I was doing twice as many races until one time I decided to just do the series first. I was mad.

Mine ran for months on end when I first got it and was attempting to top the Folding@Home leaderboards.

Nah, it''s just a computer after all. I have had one of my real computers on for over a year without a cold reboot. I have my console in a open spot that has lots of air and feels only slightly warm at most. It is a new 320G model BTW.

 

[Dixieputtz]

I've always run one race to see how the car and I can handle the race and if all is good enough then I'll jump into the championship event .

The difference is that PC's are properly cooled due to the space, In-built GPU-coolers and case fans to vent away the hot air.

The continual redesign of the PS3 tends (along with it's seemingly declining failure rates) to indicate that it's cooling was rather marginal (if not inadequate)

I'd personally never consider leaving my PS3 on for that long. Both from a financial point of view (in terms of stress on the machine) and not subscribing to the antiquated design decision in 2010 to require a person to leave their machine on for an almost indefinite period in order to complete an event. Twenty years ago this sort of stuff was fine when we couldn't save... didn't even have save codes.............. but in 2010 come on!.

This might be "The Real Driving Simulator" but it ought to address some of it's driving flaws first before it requires us to play through 24h of gameplay without a save in an attempt to simulate realism.

Different sized chips. They are on the third chip size since the system launched. Smaller chips, using less energy, and creating less heat means smaller cooling systems can be built and overall costs to build the systems can be reduced by a redesign which uses less materials.

It seems dumb to me too,can't imagine there's not a savegame feature in 2011. Games long ago had it

 

[OrangeBerry]

Well since the release delay seemed to be about putting in more cars, there wasn't much time to optimize menu systems and such.

 

[schigara]

The reason is because if you could save then you could screw up one race, reload a save game data and try again with no penalty. Without the save, you can't cheat.

It forces you to run all the races in the championship and have only one chance for each race.

Just finished the B-spec Formula GT championship. I put it off till last, because I knew it would take forever. Nothing like cursing at bob and spamming the increase pace button for over 5 hours

I don't understand why the B-spec races are so much longer than the equivalent A-spec ones. I thought 20 laps of Fuji was bad, try 37! lol
