How long did the suzuka 1000km take you in the official cars for the 172 lap race

[Magneto]

I think it took me about 6hr 30min or there abouts. I used a stock Petronas SC430 on racing hards tuned to conserve tires.
Started raining with 30 laps or so to go, so had to switch to intermediate.
Personally it's the most fun endurance I've done, and probably the only one I'd do again if I had to.

 

[RustyGunzz]

Took me just under 6 hours. Not one drop of rain and cruised the last 30 or so laps as i was falling asleep, good thing i had built up an early lead.

It took me a little over 6hrs maybe 6.5 hrs in the vauxhall astra DTM car, it rained THE ENTIRE RACE except the last 10 laps!!!

My B-Spec Bob did it in 5h30 with the X2010 under the rain.

It was going to take me 6 hours 1 minute in the Ford GT until the #$@$% console froze during the last pit stop (lap 160).... %$%%$^^%$#%%$

ouch

I did it in 3 hr's 57 min, x2010 of course, rained badly for the first 100 laps, eased a little then, and no rain for the last 30, still with a damp track tho. Have to say this is not the way to enjoy GT5, I might have saved myself two hours but it was hard work in that car, specially since I knew the track from the vettel challenge only to have to learn it again for the rain.

Your going to hate the Tsukuba 9 hours, I couldn't even stand the 4 hour one.

I don't understand the move to use the same short track twice in the endurance races. I wasn't a fan of that track before the first one, and i doubt i'll ever run a lap on that track again. The 9-hour race was brutal, altho i was able to get about an hour up on second so i could pull over and park for that last hour.

As for the OP, i ran that race in just over 6 hours in a F1 Stealth. I started off in the rain. I was 50-60 laps in (and 1.5 laps down) before i realized that racing softs worked better than the rain tires.

 

[Coiler]

Done it in the Takata NSX (P), like 20 laps in the rain, it took about 6h

 

[Willfred_1]

B-spec x1 was about 4 3/4 hrs but in a gt500 in b-spec I would reckon its about double the total time of the x1 due to lap time difference

 

[Knelly]

Took me roughly 6 hours, and the rain started at lap 22 and continued out through the whole race.

In the Honda LOCTITE MUGEN NSX 01 I managed 6:01'34.257

It always looked like it was going to rain but only did for about 5 laps from lap 111

 

[tALEz]

Just did this in a RedBull X1 X2010.
Drizzled a little bit from the start, grey sky the whole race after that.
Total time was 3 hrs 59 minutes. Could've been faster if I hadn't forgotten to refuel for about 5 times lol.

This race is seriously tiring, because it actually matters that you run all 172 laps.
Can't just park the car aside and let the clock run.

Rain started at lap 76 and lasted untill the end.
At first it was small rain, didn't affect the car handling and my lap times. But then, at the lap 93 it started raining fo' real, and lasted like that until the end. Bummer, slowed me down 15 seconds per lap.

Exactly what happened to me, all my X2010's grip disappeared so I just found myself spinning for 100 laps in the real rain, it was miserable. Did you find the a.i. cars pitting 10 laps in a row after it started to actually rain hard?
