Dramatic Endurance Races

Ran out of gas on the Silverstone in the last set of corners and the AI passed me at the line....I tend to add 5 more liter now in pitstop....

Also not one of the S-Level race, but I think it was a 15 min race at the Nordschleife or something, I parked the car in the beginning for 20 sec planning to catch AI near the end of 2nd lap to avoid a 3rd, slowed way down at the line to try to not beat the clock, AI bumped me across and I had to run a 3rd lap crossing the line 2 sec too early....

Try tuning down a Formula GT to 750pp Then enter Spa with no assists. I couldn't see a Thing! And I was on racing slicks in wet weather. (Used a DS3 too and won)

First attempt at Suzuka made some bad pit decisions.

Tried to go to end of lap 5 (of 10) and ran out of gas and front left tire, ended up coasting in. Then when pushing hard i went off and had to play catch up again.

Pit on lap 7 and was over a minute behind the leaders, they pitted on lap 8 and I was again chasing them down.

5th place with the chicane to go, passed into 4th and the 3 front cars were right in front, accelerated early and got a big drift happening. Didnt catch the 3rd place guy but finished 0.483 from first.

Was far more exhilarating than any race I've won this far.

I know this pro bulb a dumb question, but I cannot detune the formula gt enough to be able to use it in any event. It only goes to 786. How do you get it down to 750?

max out weight.

3rd attempt at Spa 24 minutes after I got stuck 2 times at the entrance of the pit lane.
Finally got in the pits with no problem, decide to change the tyres on race medium,since the track was quite wet.
On second-last lap my tyres were 4/10 front and 3/10 rear, decided to keep going without pitting (I was afraid to get stuck again ).
On last lap the circuit was completely dry and my tyres were almost gone, the final 'straight' before the chicane was a nightmare, luckly I had a LOT of time since the Ai pitted 3 times, a lot of wheelspin, had to run in 5th gear at 50 km/h.
1st position

I just won the 24 mins at the ring race to then have my ps3 freeze between the race results screen and the replay.

Is nobody else going to acknowledge this?

I guess kids these days are REALLY serious about not drinking and driving.

Crashing out during endurance races was common, just this one time, Seattle or Tokyo(memory is a little foggy), we both did, but got to battle back. Other times noon came around and our car was sitting next to the wall with the race over and us with many many laps to go.

Cheers!

Just did the Nurburgring 24 minutes which was pretty interesting. I made up a few places at the start, then when we got off the GP course it started to rain. The majority of opponents were RWD but I was in my 4WD R32 Touring Car so I sailed by them. Around half-way through the lap it was at about 30% track dampness but I just kept pulling out my lead until at the end of the lap where it got to 80% so I pitted for wet tires and so did everyone else. I went around the second lap and near the end it stopped raining and the sun came out so I pitted for dry tires and finished that lap to win although it started raining at the end of the lap. 4WD cars are good in the wet but start to struggle and slide a lot at 50% track dampness.

That's more likely due to tires.

Honestly if you went with intermediates or even with racing softs it would have stayed planted.
