From there you just need to take part in the race until you run out of willpower — it’s unclear if there is a minimum number of laps/time, but we’ve seen it as low as single-digits — but take great care how you proceed from that point onwards. If you click on the “Retire” button, that’s your race done; what you need to do is forcibly shut the game down from the PlayStation home menu, or turn your console off entirely.
Next time you boot up the game, head into the DLC (via the ship moored in the bottom-left corner of the World Map) and select the race, you’ll be presented with a “Resume” screen that allows you to jump back into the race — but it’s as if a red flag has been thrown.
That means you’ll restart at the beginning of your last completed lap, with gaps between cars on the lead lap now eliminated. You’ll also have fresh tires, but your fuel load will be as it was before you terminated the game — so try to avoid using the feature until a couple of laps after you’ve pitted.
It’s also worth noting that you don’t actually need to head directly back to your race. You can go and do anything else the game offers, including other Power Pack races and any of the three other endurance races, and return to it at any time.
