I just watched the replay of the race at Suzuka last night. Wow what a fun race that was, lots of good clean battles. 👌

You should have seen the last Suzuka race, in the pouring rain. And then it got dark, right at the end. CHAOS.

Hi Guys!

I started the 24 Hour LeMans race in the Power Pack.

I have completed 2 stints of about 2 hours each.

How to save the race:
1. Press the Pause or Playstation button
2. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and select the "Switcher" icon next to the "Home" icon then press X
3. Under Active, select "Gran Turismo" and press X
4. Select "Close Game" and press X. The race will be save.

To continue the race, go to the Power Pack, select the race you were doing. You will be presented with 2 choices: Start from the beginning OR Continue from Lap XXX. The race will continue with the lap you saved. I saved on lap 33 therefore when the race restarts at the Start/Finish line as a rolling start, it started lap 33.

Beware of this issue: At the end of lap 32, I pitted for fuel and new tires and started lap 33 and thought it would save from the location on the track where I was when I paused. In this situation, I saved the game before I pitted and when the races started again, I was given 1.1 lap of fuel and had to pit at the end of lap 33 which put me way behind. Please make sure you do at least one full lap after pitting.

Please note that all competitors restart the race on new tires. Only tire compound is saved, not the tire wear.
