Just rummage through the GTS Online Racing & Leagues sub-forum and you will see all sorts of endurance racesWhat's the best way to have a proper endurance race? The 3rd Daily Race is too short - I'm thinking something around 40-50 laps.
I prefer online though, because even if the AI has faster cars, the race will get boring and monotonous quickly.
I've never raced in a Lobby, but are there some rooms that host proper endurance races?

Alternatively, you can also join a 1.5 hour endurance racing league that is hosted by @Rinsky
The next race will happen on May 5, so there's ample time to try out other leagues first should you decide to join us
Thanks man! I'm sure I'll find something.
EDIT: Seems to be quite hard to find something that is happening tonight around 16:30 UTC, but I hope there is something
Thank you, but I'm just looking for something for today.I will be posting all the details on our 1.5 hour endurance race this weekend. We have 3 spots open if your interested but I'm not sure if the race times are what your looking for.
That's amazing! Man I wanna do that somedayThank you, but I'm just looking for something for today.
I have a good friend who doesn't have a PS4, but he is a really amazing driver (quicker than me) and we like to do endurance races so that we both do enough qualifying/practice laps and then at the race quickly change seats during the pit stops. While one is racing, the other can provide useful information about the tires, remaining fuel, lap times etc. It is really intriguing.
It really is, we had a great time and good races once again. Didn't even search for the endurance races, but did some FIA races instead.That's amazing! Man I wanna do that someday

It's a very different experience when you can focus only on the driving and nothing else and your friend does everything else - keep track of tire wear and fuel usage, but also change the fuel maps and TCS on the fly. The last one was really helpful, since we felt that our Gr3 M6 needs TCS @ 2 in the slow tight corners and TCS off elsewhere on the track. So the one not driving, was changing the TCS setting 4 times each lap
Definitely go for it! But I guess it's quite important that both of you have equal driving skill.I think I'm going to give this a try with my good friend and see how it goes. Sounds like fun.
You need to school them thenI envy you guys who have friends who can do this with you
I have friends that like cars, but not as much as I do and are more arcade-oriented
I reckon they're D/E drivers
Actually did that once! I had a bet, it went like this:You need to school them then
When you have friends over, set a time and tell that whoever beats it, gets a drink.
We have friends over pretty much every weekend and GT Sport is always on with somebody behind the wheel while the others are talking etc. A few girls have turned from not being able to drive in a straight line to pretty decent drivers already, with the only thing holding them back is using the automatic gearbox and not being able to recover from a slide
Hahahaha that's a great story and you seem like a good friendActually did that once! I had a bet, it went like this:
"Okay, if you get within 5 seconds of the time I'm about to post in the Evo Gr. 3 at Suzuka, you get free lunch for one week"
The closest was over a minute behind me. He never used full throttle and braked to 80 km/h at 130R
The other got so scared that the wheel oscillated when the car got above 100 km/h, and all of them never kept it at the track
Someone asked me to try the bet with the F-1500 and the Nurb. Being the nicest friend in the world, I expanded the time gap to 5 minutes.
Someone got free lunch from me for a whole week
I like to treat my friends like how they treat meHahahaha that's a great story and you seem like a good friend
I think if I offered the same bet, my friends would not leave before they have beaten my time, no matter how long it takes lol
I see the GTP Duel of the Week is back, but could the relevant parties reintroduce Beater or Sleeper for Sport? That was a great weekly thread back in GT6.

That is/was their biggest problem. Slower through turns by braking earlier is one thing but hitting the brakes on sections that only require a lift if anything made them stupid slow and easy pickins for overtakes. Not as fun as actually working for it.I'm doing a Custom Race at Lago Centre. Seems like the AI have been adjusted. Usually, the AI doing a brake check at the S-Turn under the walkway. Now, I can ride the AI's rear bumper, with no lift.
@Rinsky Any chance you guys will also do a 45-60 minute race? 1.5 hours is a bit much for me and I can't always have that amount of time to set aside without pausing.I will be posting all the details on our 1.5 hour endurance race this weekend.

I recorded and uploaded it two days ago.I haven't tried the Ferrari event. How old is that video?

Well...
See for yourself.
At this point, as Rinsky said, I need to get a ps4 and GTS before i can start up the GTS version of car of the week. Slowly but surely I'm getting there!I see the GTP Duel of the Week is back, but could the relevant parties reintroduce Beater or Sleeper for Sport? That was a great weekly thread back in GT6.
