The race starts at 4pm and will get dark at ~7-8 pm, total darkness will come around midnight.
 
I thought I read it runs on your clock, Sooo if it's dark outside your window, it should be dark in the game.
 
I'm pretty sure the real race starts at 3pm.

Hmm, you're right. I got it mixed up with the Daytona 24 Hours start time. But I used a 370Z to check the time in GT5 and it's 4pm as the race start.

Nope, the race is set to start at 4pm, just like the real race would.

Not if you live in the Arctic and/or Antarctica! 24hr daylight in the summer!

ive always wondered what life over there must be like.
must be weird. u cant use any of them phrases "i was partying all night", "things that go bump..in the night" ..couldnt sleep all night..etc

On the plus side im sure solar calculators work well.

I've wondered too.. apparently the winters are 24hr darkness too. 6months of daylight, 6 months of night. It must be weird. Our lives consist of day and night in a 24hr period, but for them a day/night period takes place over a whole year, so a whole year feels like one day. :o
