Hardest number of laps

[racer_eks]

In my opinion, i hate 10 lap races the most. You cant pit or you loose. Im specifically talking about laguna seca in the pro MR challenge. The stupid GT40. Anyway what do you think?

10 laps races are only hard when your have to resort to super-slick tires, no races are really hard for me, but 20+ laps are the most boring.

5-10 laps are the hardest, especially in the Pro league races. i use medium hard tires which make me pit in at lap 5-6, so it's a mad dash for the finish catching the AI.

The AI is too 'relaxed' in the enduros to be any type of threat. nothing that cant be taken care of in 50 laps or so.

Wow, it's a dead heat. I hope this thread gets more votes, it's one of the better polls I've seen.

The 11-20 are the hardest for me because mid tires hit that spot where you can either push for a single pit stop, or race hard and pit twice. Or you could throw on hard tires and go the whole race without pitting, but have little traction the first half.

Oh decisions decisions!

20+ are the hardest for me in the sence of keeping focused on the track and the current task at hand.

I voted 20+. I really hate doing more than 20. I just get tired of seeing the same thing over and over. Plus........my attention span is not great. I love litte races that are 5 or less. Those races are my time to shine. I love sprint races like that. Im so-so but around 17 and 18 I kinda think Its getting a little old. I guess I dont have enduro persistance.

Yeah, I'm also making the call that 20+ lap races are the hardest once you have your cars sorted out. Its the attention span thing. I think I start to go stir crazy on the enduro races.

I generally find the longer the race the easier it is to beat the computer because they have to pit and you can race on harder tyres, even when they go red, meaning you don't.

They do, however, get reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally dull unless its close.

And, honestly now, how often are the long races even slightly close? On the endurance races I'm usually a multituide of laps ahead of the second car. We've pointed out before that on the Super Speedway we've been 24+ laps ahead of the number two car.

It's the middle ones for me, when you really have to judge your pit timing and tire selection carefully. I even find myself making micro adjustments to the car hoping to save a half second per lap.
