Tsubaka 9 hours (endurance)

[Phoenix]

Thank you very much but i can get my own. im just in a middle of alot of trades so it will take alot of time to give it back to you. ill look for it on ucd though. thanks again!

Hehe I think you misunderstood.

I can put it to share to you, so you can borrow it, or even send you one if you would like.
I got plenty.

I'd much rather spend 9 hours of racing online rather than doing any of the A-spec endurance races.

Time is precious and once you spend an hour (or 9) you will never get that time back...I can kinda justify doing the 24 hr le man/nurburgring in stints as they are classic cuircuits that need to be practiced over and over to become expert on.

Is my logic flawed, if anyone can give me a justification to spend stupid amounts of time on the endurance races (not just to get the trophies - which is the only reason I would do them) I would be interested.

Experience, mental challenge and a driving challenge (with a competetive car of course)...

No way I could possibly drive for 9 hours on Tsubaka...what an insane race.

You're right on that one.

I used the 380 RS Superleggera. Enjoyed driving it too as it is quick enough to win but not so quick you totally destroy the opposition. In my race one of the opponents were also using this car.

It's still the only unfinished event in my game (99%/100%).
The 4hr one in the Mazda was already enough pain, not looking forward to the 9hr one.

I am fear of ending up like the mouse after doing it.

ROFL!
The Tsukuba 9 hrs is more fun than the 4 hrs, because you'll be travelling at a faster speed.
I used the X2010 S.Vettel, and it was great fun to drive with. I enjoy passing the other racers with a tremendous speed, and also, it'll improve your reflexes. Racing on a tiny track with such a fast car would be really hard, but you'll enjoy it.

Used a stock Viper ACR with racing hard to begin with then started using racing medium. The AI in this race are racing with RacingMedium. Won the race with 3 laps between 2nd, a AEM S2000 and the S2000 Turbo as 3rd. Coulda used a bit of a weaker car to make it a bit more close but still 3 laps between after 9 hours with a few incidents aint that bad of a close race... I guess.

Really? Nobody else is going to comment on the use of "Tsubaka?"

I know right, every time I see this thread I think "Fix the title!"

I'm in the 3rd hour of this race right now, using a de-tuned GT-R, with top end set to 130mph, better acceleration, and almost rev limits on the back straight. Been running RH tires, but I have the LSD set to high, as it has issues coming out of the 180 turns.

At lap 200, I'm about 30 seconds in front, but I have played the pits differently, rather than completely refilling the tank, I've skipped fuel until I was below 1/2 tank, and I'm taking on only 20 liters per pit stop.

It's been a while since I did these, but I saved the 9hr Tsukuba till last. I even did both the 24hr races before it. I find Tsukuba to be very tedious and boring. Even the 4hr Roadster endurance there was pushing my limits of concentration, so 9hrs wasn't something I was looking forward to.

In the end, I chose the Formula GT, to get it over with asap. Running easy 45 seconds per lap, I'd built up enough of a lead that I simply parked up the car just before the finish line with over 90 minutes left to go. I'd done over 520 laps so I knew the AI couldn't catch me.

Then when the clock turned over 9hrs, I crawled over the finish line and took the win... and vowed never to visit Tsukuba again.

Lol @ Tsubaka... never noticed that first time.
