Say on the day I start a 24Hr endurance race, I've accumulated a 10-day log-in "streak".. but I suspend the race multiple times over a couple of days to finish. When I do finish, will I still get the 200% bonus?
Is the outcome the same if i skip a day while it's suspended?
 
Yes, you get the bonus of what you started the race with.
 
I'm in the same boat. Does anyone know if after you log in to resume the race it is recognised as logging in to A-spec mode? From what i can tell it doesn't give you any form of greeting saying you've signed in for the xth day.
So i'm worried that after the race finishes and i return to A-spec mode it will reset the bonus.

Just read my post above yours. 👍
 
I just finished the 1000km of Suzuka, completed over 3 days and i can confirm that the payout is calculated using the loginbonus that you had when you started the race (no matter how many days passed until you finish).

When the race has finished my 200% bonus was cut to - i believe - 170% which i presume is 1 missed day (1st day race start @ 200%, second day is without login (resume), third day finish and login).

I also just finished the Suzuka 1000km and I did not get the login bonus.

I started the game with 110% bonus, but got only 100%: 1236370.

One question to you: Have you always been logged into PSN when you started GT5 to resume the race?

Because I wasnt always logged in when resuming - at least at one occasion.
Maybe this makes a difference?

Network cable was plugged in all the time, so yes, signed in.
BUT... at one time during racing i got a PSN notification that due to a network error i had been signed out so basically i was not always signed in while racing, though always signed in when resuming.

So even if you race a bit everyday, the log-in streak resets regardless?

Just to be clear. At the finishline I got rewarded with the same loginbonus I had when I started the race.
After that, you go back to your Life page where your loginbonus is recalculated and, according to my experience, every raceday during your "suspended" race is seen as a no-login day (as you do not visit the Life page).
 
I passed my birthday during an enduro, I did sign in each time, I wonder/hope my birthday car will still be there when I finish.
 
No. I'm sorry, I think I'm not using the right words.

I started the 1000km of Suzuka the day my Life page told me my loginbonus was 200% when I loaded up the game.
I suspended the race that same day.

Continued the following day and suspended the race again later that day.

The day after that, I finished the race and got my reward calculated @ 200% of which I am absolutely sure.
When I got back to the Life page (finish race, back, back, back from the a-spec pages) I got the welcome message (paint and museum cards) and it told me that my loginbonus was - if memory serves me right - 170%, which I would interpret as 1 day not logging in, which would be the day I resumed but not finished the race.

So, long story short:
Finishing an endurance race, no matter how long it takes, will reward you at the bonus when you started the race.
After the race and reward your bonus will be recalculated where the "resume"-days will count as not-logged-in days and will be deducted from your bonus; just as if you didn't touch the game for those days.

Hope this makes more sense.
And do feel free to correct me where I'm wrong, but that's how I experienced it.

exactly why I didnt start the 24h of LeMans this weekend, my birthday is thuesday of this week but when you work night shift full time, I dont have that much time to complete an endurance of 24h.
maybe I'll start it friday night or saturday :)
 
Just finished my B-spec 24hr enduro over 2 days and the reward was only 100%. I wasn't logged in when the race finished though, after i logged back in i got the welcome message saying my bonus was 200% again.

Not happy about this, i was only doing it so i could get 100% but i think i won't bother now.

I'm doing the bspec 'ring 24hr as we speak, hopefully I'm all good for 200%... sarthe one was fine so should be ok.

*crosses fingers*
 
Any indication if this has been changed in the 2.03 update?
Currently in a suspended race, but it might take long (as in many days) and I don't want to give up my bonus.
