Hey everyone, I just beat the Laguna Seca 200 Mile endurance. I used the completely stock Viper GTS-R Team Oreca. I tried qualifying with it and I pulled a 1:15:8xx on my first timed lap around, the other Viper GTS-R did a 1:18:2xx so I figured I had this race in the bag.

I extended the gear ratios quite high because the tail was very wild particularly on the Andretti Hairpin, and somewhat for the Corkscrew. Anyways, I never ever got to 5th gear that is how high I set it, but the car still had good pick up thanks to those 10 cylinders of american anger! I used a pit strategy of around 7-8 laps and held the lead from lap 8 on. I remember lapping the other GTS-R at one point but at the end of the race he was only 24 seconds behind!!! Thank God I didnt pit because I thought I was laps ahead of him!!! I enjoyed this race but it wasnt as enjoyable as Rome Circuit with my ZO6.

So far I realize I have been extremely lucky. On Grand Valley 300km I won the F090/S, on Seattle 100 miles I won F687/S, on Laguna Seca 200 miles I ended up winning F686/M and on Rome Circuit I won F688/S. However on Roadster Enduro I won a Miata and on Tokyo I won a C-West Razo. I have won all four cars from Super Speedway 150 miles and the rest I havent raced.

Well, Trial Mountain 2 Hours is scheduled Friday afternoon (4:00pm). I plan on using something interesting with barely any miles, I am VERY open to suggestions.

I am almost complete the game, I need encouragement to burn to the end!!! Thanks for any support!
 
Oh my gosh, finishing that race was heavenly. Leguna Seca was not one of my favorite courses at first, but I've grown to like it now that I'm done with the game. 200 miles on that course can drive a man insane.

Congradulations!!

CONGRATS, Civic! Running 90 laps of anything can be a pain!

But I was wondering if there were 3 prize cars or 4 on the prize carousel.. I just ran this a week ago for the first time in a long time, and was surprised to see only 3 cars offered... not to mention the bullseye thing was going super fast. I didn't remember it being this way for my very first gamesave, but I wasn't sure...

Anyway, good job again on the win. Have a great drive!

hey, you know what, youre right. I wasnt sure if I only saw three cars offered because right as the screen came up it chose my car in about half the normal time. I am almost 100% positive that there was only room for 3, especially now that someone else has suggested it.
 
Congrats I hated that enduro I think I ran it in my F090 cause I was to bad at that course but since then Ive done that enduro many times with the Oreca Viper...
 
Nice one, I gotta say that has got to be one of the best endurances? :curvyrd:

No, I like racing regular cars way more than race cars. It is so much more "intimate"?!@
 
i believe that the 3 prize car thing is a esult of the Diablo and Porsche being taken out of the game - like they took them out and didn't bother patching the holes they left.
that was in a forum not very long ago.
 
ahh I've heard that some where to j2s
 
where porsche and diablo actually thinking about being in gt3....thought had contracts with nfs series.

You can always turn off the Driving Aids on the Race Cars :gcar:?
 
Congrats! Good Luck on the rest of the game.
