Did it in detuned Amuse S2000 GT1 1 Turbo.
It started raining at the lap 90, I finished the race in 6h32min.
Grueling experience, never doing it again.
 
If you want easy games, play american games. No joke.
 
Done. In 5 hours 41 minutes with the Peugeot 908 HDi Team Matmut. The average consumption of the car was of 61.9 l/100km. I did this by writing on a paper the amount of fuel the car takes each time ti goes to pit stop. Sorry I can't write it on MPG, but I'm portuguese and I don't know how to use that measure.

69.1L is approximately 16.35 gallons.

100 km is approximately 62 miles.

Roughly, you got 3.79 miles per gallon, for us 'imperial'ists...lol
 
Finished in 6:46. 172 laps of heavy pain - err.. rain..!
 
I'm waiting for the option to save during races before I start this one... not really a fan of Susucki to put it mildly
 
Yes. I finished A-spec Suzuka 1000km last nite. 6hrs and 3minutes, sunshine the whole way. I used the Nissan Xanavi Nismo '06, race soft tires, ABS1 only, best lap was 1:53, averaged 2:02ish per lap. Fun track 👍
 
I;m still waiting for the save option.

I did 2 of the 4 hour endurance races and it was hooooooorrible.
I knew I was gonna win when I passed the #1 car in lap 1.
But then I still had to drive another 3 hours, 58 minutes and 3 seconds.
Super ultra boring.

Never cared for the Endurances in GT4 even though those could be B-specced, never cared for Endurance in GT5 either.

WHen the save option is implemented, I'll do all those 'challenges' with the horrible X1 so I can get it over with asap.
 
Did it months ago, I hate to leave any race unfinished. I never liked this race even in GT4 but I did them, just man up and get on with them. 👍
 
Going to try and finish some endurance races and get some XP before GT6 arrives. Using GT-R GT500 Stealth, good for relaxed 1:58s and eight seconds quicker than AI, but stopping after 17 laps and Bob does 20? Car uses about 60 litres or 1/2 tank for that stint. Even if your car was only a 2:06 and only 1 sec faster after 172 laps would be 3 minutes ahead, on the other hand 1 sec slower would leave you 3 minutes back. So for 6 hour effort may as well keep an " unfair advantage" and get 'er done. After all Audi doesn't slow down for Toyota.

In the wet Suzuka the AI seems to be in the mid-high 2:30s whereas a 2:20 is fairly easy, so the advantage is 15-20 secs per lap.

Done!, 5:59.45 and just pipped an Arta NSX for a 7th lap ahead at the last chicane. Bright sun all day, it never moves from the end of the back straight. And 1,300,000 xp but still 2 mil to go.

Tried to attempt doing this way back then but my fave car was still so slow that time.
 
Just completed this in A-spec with the Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II. Luckily the weather was dry the entire time. After a mistake starting out with the wrong tires (see my other thread), I made up the time and won by a lap. Total time was 6 hours 12 minutes or thereabout. The thing about the endurance races I like is how the car's overall horsepower noticeably drops by the end of the race.
 
I used this race to prepare for the Vettel Challenge. After running around Suzuka with the X2010, it made it alot easier for me to pass the challenge with a DS3.
