How many...

[milefile]

...laps in the Trial Mountain Endurance? I'm on 46.

P.S. Sorry for a useless thread but I did search first.

 

[ving]

you can find out at gt3times.com in the races section

its a 2 hour race, so whatever you can do in 2 hours...

Thank you.

np

sniffle...

Hmm...but for the best times it doesn't measure by laps, it measures by time...

 

[HsV_CoUpE]

naa do the roadster endurance....such a good race

except when u finish it and win a mx5 again instead of an f1, then u get anoyed

 

[Bollocks#999]

I think Famine holds the record with about 86 laps in a Speed 12

 

[Gil]

I've done it in 74 with the Toyota MR-S.

 

[Bollocks#999]

Gona have to do it again so i can say how many laps i did, originally did it in the R390 road car if anyones interested

 

[milefile]

I'm using the Z06. I have about 25 minutes left. I'll post my laps when I'm done.

 

[djiggz]

i did a lot in my GT one road car

Cheers Bollocks...

At the present time I hold the absolute world record in the TS020 (92 laps), along with the FR record in the Speed 12 (85 laps), the 4WD record in the Ruf CTR2 (79 laps) and the FF record in the Integra Type-R (71 laps). I'm on the same lap as the record for RR, but about a minute off the finish line in 79 laps.

But it's only 'cos I'm unemployed and I like running PD Cup eligible cars

Edit: A few more points... I checked the odo of the TS020 when it crossed the line - 221.5 miles in 2h 00'10.187s

GT3Times' database is flawed with the 2h endurance races, as it ranks by time, not distance/time. For those races check Racing-Line: http://www.racing-line.org/courseselect.php?SelectedGame=GT3END&SelectedCourse=5

true dat but anyway the best car to use if they ask you to use a road or regular car use the toyota gt-1 road car it smokes the competition

The more laps you can do in two hours the better your times obviously were

And doesn't that get a little boring after like five seconds?

 

[Famine]

milefile - the GT3Times database doesn't allow for entry of laps. So the number 1 rated time there is the person who did it in closest to 2 hours - regardless of the race distance they've covered.

All the other (except Rome 2hr... ) races have fixed distances, so the GT3Times database measures the quickest average speed in each case (average speed = distance/time). In the case of the 2hr enduros, this isn't what's measured. jhiza has no plans to alter this, as it'd be quite a bit of work for him.

 

[milefile]

I guess theres a few ways to measure a race like that. I'd just go by maximum laps. But if it's a serious competition then people'd get all anal bout it, and rightfully so.

 

[Famine]

The way to do it is the way GT3 does it - number of laps, plus time taken to complete last lap - and that's the way Racing-Line do it. GT3T would need modification - probably to the entire database. I think jhiza feels it's not worth it with GT4 coming out at Christmas (probably).

How did you get on in the Vette? What were you up against?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

The z06 should've been easy.

I did it in the Viper.

Quite. I've lapped the field three times so far, pitting every 12-15 laps.

 

[Bollocks#999]

what tyres are you guys using (Famine in particular)?

 

[Famine]

I take my secrets to the grave!




Just messin'... I can't remember exactly, but generally I go for compounds that will last me exactly 15 minutes on Trial Mountain 2hrs, regardless of the car.

 

[Bollocks#999]

Im guessing around the T3-T5 bracket? I know im not gonna get an answer but i'll keep trying anyway

 

[Vasco]

Heh, you'll have to interrogate him soon...

Wow, I can't remember how many laps I did, I think it was around the late 70s, when I did it in a GT-One, but I wasn't really racing seriously, I even did a few doughies...

 

[Bollocks#999]

looks like i will just have to do this myself and find out

*adds the Trial Mountain race to an allready overfull list of thing to do*

 

[milefile]

Well it ended up being 72 laps in the Z06.

 

[Famine]

Bollocks - if you check the Personal Logs at gt3times, I've got a write-up for (at least) the TS020 race there. I'm pretty sure I say my tyres, my pit strats, the opponents etc.

cheers mate 👍
