RULES FOR THIS ROUND ONLY
* Keeping your car on track at all times is relaxed. Try to keep the car on track as much as possibly, but an occassional accidental off is allowable.
* All drivers must submit the number of laps completed as well as the total time it takes to complete the race (should be a time above 2:45:00.000). Also, be aware that once you finish your race and it goes to the replay/menu screen, your number of laps will not be displayed, and thus you will miss it.
* B-Spec is allowable for this race to help those who might not have enough time to complete the endurance. Time acceleration is allowable as well. The capabilities of your B-Spec driver are up to you to.
* Submission of your lap times will not be required, nor will recording your replay. This will be strictly honor system.



Also be aware that this is the Infineon full course, not the Infineon Stock Car course.
 
oi! good luck all. im running this one all a-spec since i ran this one all b-spec in a stock r8. needed to hold his hand the entire race.
 
i appear too be running too soft if im only burning ~26Ls of fuel a stint :|
 
well, "sprinted" through one run and ended up with a 9 lap lead at the end of the race and a fastest lap of 1.14.311. 2nd place was a r92.
 
holy crap, that owns me fast lap wise. What tires are you using?? mine is a 1'18.2xx
 
too soft. r4/r3s.
 
heh. i did more laps on r4/r3 than i did r3/r2.
 
well, the second try on r4/r3s seems to be coming along better than the first run. consistint 14-15s, but, i just hope i can out run my pit stops.
 
teehee - 1.13.952.
 
time in. thanks to a perfectly timed draft, i was able to get a 1.13.312 fastest lap. the 2nd place r89c was 10 laps down with the r92 and c9 not too far behind them.

wow *blinks* i thought i wasted too much time in the pits with the r4/r3s.
 
Results corrected.
 
Man, thats alot of laps (126). Congrats to the other podium finishers. Only could get 2 runs in or would of gotten a bit further.
 
i personally "only" did three runs. the first time on r4/r3s 125 and the second was the result i submitted. when i did r3/r2s, 124.

how often did you guys pit? tbh, i really didnt pay attention. i pitted on lap 10 for my final attempt and then just went flat out. due to the tyre wear, i never carried more than 30Ls of fuel and pit stops only lasted as long as it took to change tyres. tyre wear was ... weird ... the r4s gripped really well even when orange as i did my fastest lap of the race on orange/dark yellow tyres. but, as soon as they went red there was nothing from the front.
