Ok people, I am getting ready to start a new endurance race. I have scheduled it for October 1st (Tuesday) at 3:00pm Eastern Time.


This race is full of very fast cars that will provide a great challenge. I will need a car that is very fast. I am once again leaving it up to you guys to pick the car I use.

So be here on Tuesday afternoon to see the Pre-Race, Mid-Race and Post-Race report. and wish me luck cause I'll need it in a tough race like this.......


PS BEFORE YOU VOTE; I have this poll set up for multiple votes, so you can feel free to pick more than one car.
 
I recommend 787B, the handling is great, and the engine sound is also quite fantastic.
 
I say the 787b, but I was going to say its going to be real easy for you with that car. It looks like you dont like it though. You can also try the zonda race car.
 
787B sticks to the road like glue. On SSR11, that's just what you need. With so many corners, the gearing limiting top speed is not an issue. That's what I'm going to use. I'm fairly confident that my 787B can cream the whole of Endurance league (except where not allowed to enter - like Roadster).
 
Have you guys noticed how much Hp each of my cars has? My GT-One has 855hp. I think it will be able to smoke the 787B

All, I have to be able to do is pull off a lap time of 1:50:000 or better right. That is what it says in Der Altas write up. I am pretty sure any of these cars are capable of that.
 
I'd recommend the Camero Race Car, that thing has great handling and is very fast if you put NA2 on it and get some decent tranny settings, but that car's not on the list:(
 
I used the Esperante. It was obviously a little more challenging than if I had used the 787B or GT-One, etc., but I figured that it may be only time I had reason to drive it. As it turns out, the car was fun to drive, and I used it for the 246 endurance as well.

Good luck!

Hello everyone, I am sorry to inform you that I just ran the race after saying I was going to do it on Tuesday!!!

I have been cramming for a calculus midterm and I needed a break. I was extra motivated so I capitalized!

I used my 810hp R390 GT1 which I must say is one of the most stable cars in the game with braking being its stongest suit.

With 810hp it was a bloodbath. I lapped everyone about 4-5 times. But the car did not seem too overkill, and in fact 810hp feels like what the car should have come with, given it has no trouble planting that hp. I had to make 1st and 2nd higher and lower 5th and 6th because even in stock formation I wasnt reaching 6th on the front straight away!

I used Super Slicks and pitted on lap 18,36. The top speed I reached was 189mph at the end of the straight.

I am sorry for just doing this race but whats done is done.

I won the Camaro Race Car (Red), The "Versus" Official Strategy guide states that the only possible cars you CAN win are: Arta NSX, Super Autobacs MR-S, C-West Razo Silvia, F094/H. Oh well, I sold it and went and won the Arta NSX, next I will win the Autobacs MR-S and then I will only need one car: F094/H which I will get when I win endurance league.....


Next race is Mistral 78 Laps on Tuesday at the scheduled time that this race was going to be run.....
 
hmm...i like to run races fair but when it comes to an endurance i run the car that can run circles round the other cars with no problem....but this is just me.
 
I cant stand doing an endurance with an F1, too much concentration for too long and the thrill if it wares off very quickly. racing F1 vs F1 however, is extremely entertaining!
