Hi everybody!

I was interested in how many laps you actually think that you have done so far to get where you are - how dedicated are you?

Personally I have done aprox. 500 laps so far..

How about you ?
 
I would say I have done less than 200 laps. Wasn't there a way to check how many tries you were up to last year?
 
The very top racers will need fewer laps than us casual players simply because the wheel is in their hands more often. When I was in a series with outlaw, Aderrm and turboR1600, they practiced almost every night. I only had time to practice a few. They can much more quickly get a feel for a new car and a new track because of both their seat time and abilities. If you want to drive like an Alien, you need to put in the time.

Real world racing is the exact same way. The guy who consistently kicks by butt at Mid Ohio, only races at Mid Ohio and does ten events a year there. I only do four.
 
Most of my laps get aborted after Abbey/Loop/Copse. The amount of completed laps pales to the distance driven.

If I ever get to Siverstone IRL, I will tie a loop around Abbey's head and let her Co(r)pse dangle while I becketts for forgiveness in a chapel!

In GTA'12 you could check the distance driven in the save game file on XMB.
 
Less than 50 laps for sure, well over 100 restarts.

You, sir, win the Internet.
 
Funny I was going to start this exact same thread if I couldn't find one and well... here it is :sly:

I think I'm somewhere between 250 and 40,000. I'm not sure anymore. All I know is I have over 15hrs of "stints" in.

I only restart if I go completely off track (like all the way around and to the wall) before maggots. If it's after that I might as well just finish. I've restarted a few times when I absolutely boiled the tires off but thats because the left front won't cool down for like 1.5 laps under 70mph when they're that bad.

I'm glad I've done it though because I have learned a TON doing it. It now makes sense to me how the aliens are running so fast when in the beginning I was bewildered and thought there must be tomfoolery going on.

At the same time... 2:19.xxx or Sunday can't come soon enough 👍
