How long do endurance races really last?

[kdryan]

Really, how long do they last? Does the 4 hour Miata race take 4 hours or is it quicker than that? Do they really expect you are going to spend 24 hours on Nordschliefe?

 

[Mad1723]

Well, the 4 hours races are 4 hours, same goes for 24 hours ones. The only variable ones are the xxx miles ones.

 

[VTiRoj]

They last as long as they say. 4 hours, 9 hours, 24 hours, etc. There's no speeding up of time, they really expect you to spend that long in an endurance race.

You can speed up the Endurance races, but only if you drive the DeLorean

 

[HJLamont]

i just did 4 hours at tsukuba. it took 2 days!

 

[ikarys]

I thought they lasted slightly longer.

Eg, 4 hrs + the remainder of the lap you are on.

Yeah, you've gotta get back to the line.

there are some experience of saving time at endurance races
this depends on how many laps do the most difficult opponent (2nd place driver) finish in the race
tsukuba 9-hour endurance, for example, the AIs finish the whole race with about 530 laps, and if you use X2010, you can probably do it in just about 5 hours. After that, you can stop your car behind the finish line and wait until the time is up.

Would be interesting how many laps you have to do in all the time endurance races...

I know:

- 200 laps tsukuba 4h
- 530 laps tsukuba 9h

What about the others?

Since it's up to you what car you run, the number of laps will be variable.

Disclaimer: Rough times as i was messing about pitting some cars to help other AI win
also might be off due to bad memory lol

Grand Valley - 797bhp R34 - 2 hours
Laguna Seca - FGT - 2hours 30 minutes
Indy - FGT - 2hours 15 minutes

just for anyone wondering these race times

 

[fissionproject]

Just did the Laguna Seca 200 Mile and the Indy 500 Yesterday in the X1 @ 1475bhp

Laguna - 1:29:00
Indy 500 - 2:06:00

Not asking about the car I drive... I'd like to know about the AI and they always run the same lapnumbers...

are you serious?

So this is what happens when people run out of things to complain about.

PD accidentally forgot to rename the endurance races "two lap sprint events in FGT's" don't worry. Just run two laps and-

oh god. Just lock it.

Ah, I see. So you can run one more lap and then walk away until the time is nearly up. You didn't make that very clear.

 

[dougdoberman]

There's PLENTY of stuff yet left to complain about with this unfinished slip-shod game. I doubt anyone will run out anytime soon.

While the OP's question may seem a little odd, it was honest. Dude wanted to know if there was some sorta time acceleration. Your attitude is unwarranted.

 

[Sidrenwada]

I only needed to do 29 laps for the nur 4h for the nur 24h it varies but for the magic number was 232 and the le Mans was about 340 do 350 to be safe tho

loooooooooooool

Why didn't you use the MX-5 Vettel edition? Apparantly you can just do a few laps and then park it for a couple of hours.

I was wondering about how long the Indy 500 would take in my X2010; thanks! I wouldn't do it if it wasn't for that Jaguar XJ13 though.

I did it in my x2011 in about 2h 15m

 

[rumblina]

I remember the pain of the Tsukuba 9H. So much so that I was doing driver swaps with a mate just so I could complete it without ripping my eyes out due to boredom.

My error in judgement was using a car in the similar range as the AI, if I had used a troll car I could have parked up for half the race

 

[mathieub33]

i just did 4 hours at tsukuba. it took 2 days!

loll it took me 2 days to do the 24 hours le mans a spec

Le mans i took Peugeot 908
Nurb: Nissan gt-r 35 TC

Easy win in both case

Tsukuba 9 hours is the most boring to do...

Um, yeah. You are expect to sit there for 24 hours.
