I don't know....i never knew people hated them. I only dislike the day long events, because i cannot save during the race.
 
I like them, can't wait when I'm level 25 and in GT4 I have finished them all.
 
Most people love them. I neither love nor hate them. I just don't have the patience to do the same lap over and over again.
 
I simply don't have the time to finish them... and pausing and leaving the PS3 on isn't an option, since I use it for other things as well. Also, an endurance race with only 1 driver is ridiculous...

No hate, just this. The last point can be done with a couple of friends, but getting dates where all have spare time is rare.
 
I love doing the endurance races. Sometimes. I think there more fun than other races because they actually test your endurance and your strategy.
 
I like doing them but I am planning on doing the 9 hour and the 24 hour ones last (or when the in-race saves comes out)
 
The earlier Gran Turismos had some shorter endurance races, at about an hour. Those were nice because you could run them by yourself easily. In GT5, they are all 2 hours+, and it is hard to find that kind of time and it gets kinda tiring. I personally don't hate them, but that is one reason other people might.
 
I always have time to do the races. And I have school. Everyday
 
I love enduros, but having a daughter and a job kinda hinders the 24 hour events. I could get time off from the job, but the daughter is completely different.

C'mon in-race saves!!!!
 
i love endurance but i dont have time to play i need save game in race
i enjoy it very much
 
I like most of them, 4hr ring one especially but have done them all. I can see why it's a love/hate thing though.

+1! Have some respect for our lives and wear and tear on the PS3s, let us save a paused game! :scared: :crazy:
 
I love Nürnberg 4-Hour Endurance. Just finished with the 8 races on the track :sly:

This. I just can't spend 9 hours+ racing in one day. In a real endurance race they have multiple drivers so I don't see why I can't have a break.
 
4 hour nurburgring is very fun. Only one I dislike is Tsukabu with the miata. I only have the 9 and 24 hour races left because I don't have time to sit there that long. When in-race save comes out, I'll get those done right away.
 
I love the endurance races but I will need the in game saving for the 2, 24 hour events even if I had the time to play straight through I wouldn't want to. a 2-5 hour stint is enough at one time plus I'd prefer not to leave my system on for a week. I might choose to drive the 24 hour even as if on a 3 or 4 man team if they do the save point update. Then I'd be able to do other things or sleep then do my next three hour shift.
 
Personally I like Enduros, but I think the payout is waaaay to low.
Indy Grinding ==> 97k for 3-4 minutes
4h Nürb ==> 200k ?? maybe a bit more for 4h

That´s an issue PD has to change. 1million per hour Racing would be ok
=> 4million Cr. after the Nürb race

But the payout was always to low (GT4/-3/-2). Hopefully PD fixxes that.

But I have an issue with the Enduros. GT2 had more Enduros but shorter (GT3 too).
Where is the 2h Trial Mountain oldtimer Race ??
Why 24h races ?? that´s unreasonable. (and GT4 had 3 of them)
Also the 9h Tsukuba plus the 4h Roadster Enduro
=> 13h on the one track (after that I woudln´t want to drive on that Track) one other Track would be great

I know what others say:"You don´t have to do them" bla bla bla
Every Track gets a Enduro (2-4h) that would be better in my opinion then having a 9h and two 24h races (1000miles of Suzuka; almost forgot that).
People have lives and can´t just play all day (what are those "special" Japanese-people called??).
4h is in my opinion ok but everything longer than that ?? nope not for me. My PS3 would run for a week to complete one 24h race !

This. If i can save endurances i'll not play another kind of races, 5 lap races are ridiculous overtaking contests
 
I love all but the 24 hr races. They are all I pretty much got left to do in the game. I really hope they are able to update the game with saves during these events. I really don't think I could do it all myself, and no I won't let a friend take the wheel. Only I get to drive my cars. :P

I also hope if they update the game with the ability to save, that you can also do it for B-Spec. I don't like the idea of my PS3 staying on for so long, plus I always get antsy when I have a B-spec enduro going on, and want to play something else on my PS3.
 
Considering about 50% of the online racers can not complete 2 laps of the Nurburgring
 
I don't hate them.
1000km Suzuka: Great track, lots of fun!
Nurburg / Sarthe: Great tracks, lots of fun!

On the other hand: Tsukuba... boring track, waaaaayyy too long.
I guess I do hate endurance, but just this one ;)

I could race nurburgring all day everyday.
 
well i hate them because i don't have the patience to sit there for hours and race. i cant even do the 4 hour one. I'd feel like a big ball of **** if i sat there for 4 hours and more on a single race. Idk maybe id do endurance when they make race saves for endurance. I know that kind of goes against the whole idea of enduring but i just cant do it. now in real life........ If you gave me gas and tires, i would race for hours non stop. :-)
 
Yeahh but for us poorer people. This all we got as far as racing cars
 
(what are those "special" Japanese-people called??).

Hikikomori.

By the way, the finnish word "hikikomero" means "sweat closet" etc.
 
Because it's very hard to actually make them a race basically thanks to the dumb AI.
