Favorite Endurance Race?

If Nürburgring 4h only had time/weather change....

I voted Grandvalley 300 because it's the only one i've done, but it will be both the Nurburgring 4hr and Nurburgring 24hr. I can't wait to do the 24hr.

Nurburgring 4hr but it's very close between that and the Suzuka 1000Km. The nurburgring is a stunning track that I can just never get bored racing and 4 hours is the perfect length for a race......but man I really wish it had dynamic weather on that race. That's the thing that almost gives it to Suzuka.

Nurburgring 4H hands down, mainly because it was the only Endurance race which I didn't find boring.

The only races I have done are Grand Valley and the Indy 500. My favorite endurance race out of the ones below level 30 is Grand Valley and this is based entirely on the fact that the Grand Valley track is my favorite out of all the other choices.

The 4h Nurburgring may not be too bad if I had better set up. For the endurance races I've done so far, I sat in a wooden chair and after the 2 hour and 20 minutes of Grand Valley, my lower back was in so much pain. However, I do love driving the Nurburgring but I definitely need a comfortable seat for me to stick through the entirety of the race.

I probably will never do the 24 hr of Nurburgring by myself. If I had 3 other friends and we each drove 1 - 2 hours before passing it over to another driver would be fine. This would allow for breaks that would last at least 3 hours which would allow me to do other things to keep my sanity.

What cars did you do the burg 4 hour in. I would like to do it in a 787b or c9 but think it will kill the AI

Search the forum there is a thread specifically about cars people have used in this race, there are some great suggestions.

4hr Nurburgring, and that was before the XP was raised to 2 million. This is my route to level 40 and I am going to enjoy it, but I will be using a different car each time.... decisions, decisions.

This.

My first run was with an M3 GTR Race Car and it was the most fun I had in GT5 since I started. 👍

I voted Grand Valley, because of 2 things: It's a very bearable 2.5 hours and the opposition uses road cars with Sports tyre, not Racing. This gives you endless opportunities to test all your road cars in the 250-350bhp range.

Of course, the same case can be made for Laguna Seca, which is just as much fun. Won that one with a stock Impreza just recently, gonna try with an Audi TTS next.

Nürburgring 4h would have been my choice for a track, but at 4 hours it's quite long already, and I can't seem to pick the right car for it. I'm always too fast. Maybe I just need to try it with lower and lower powered cars.

Suzuka was worst for me so far, because it rained for the first 100 laps and after hours and hours of driving around like on ice, it took about 6.5 hours to complete.

Definitely Nürburgring 4h, did it yesterday and had a great time.
