Small shunt at the Tertre Rouge and we're now only 2 laps in the lead.
Steve's pitting on lap 341 for new tires.

We'd like to keep that 2 lap buffer and Varga is now in the hot seat to ensure we do.

And we're done!

390 laps in 24 hours - roughly what an actual race at La Mans would cover.

A huge thanks to everyone who came out and put in seat time and helped make it happen.

It was good times. I wish I could have put more seat time in. Preferably in the daytime.

I've had multiple emails/PMs asking when I maybe doing another 24hr endurance race.
I've got to do many races before I can unlock the 24hrs of Nürburgring

We're at Level 37 and we need 18,120,524xp more to reach level 40 and unlock the 24hrs of Nürburgring.
(Just for reference the 24hrs of Le Mans only gives out 6million xp.)

We need to complete the two following endurance races:
Suzuka 1000km - Suzuka Circuit (1,236,370xp / 172 Laps / 5-7hrs)
Tsukuba 9-Hour Endurance - Tsukuba Circuit (3,472,212xp / ??? Laps)

...and then the plan is to run the 4hrs of Nürburgring (2,063,947xp / ~ 30 Laps) 7x ...yes SEVEN times.
(The 4hrs of Nürburgring is the race that gives the most xp/min and is great practice for the 24hrs of Nürburgring).

The nice thing about the above races are, they are all in the daytime.
Tsukuba & 4hr Nürburgring should be dry, however it's been known to rain at Suzuka.

We're thinking about doing the Suzuka 1000km on Saturday or Sunday, and the Tsukuba 9hr on Monday.
Suzuka normally takes 5-7hrs (depending if it rains), so starting at 10am we should finish by 5pm at the latest)
Tsukuba is the perfect learners circuit, it's 2km long and only has 8 turns (smaller than AMP).
If anyone is interested please let me know.

Track vs track the Nürburgring Nordschleife is way harder to learn than a Sarthe so we plan on doing the 4hrs of Nürburgring over several weeknights and a few weekends and I invite anyone that's interested to come over practice and/or learn the track.

Oh my.... that's quite the investment in time! Maybe I'll reach LV40 by the time GT6 comes out 10 years from now. ;)

It's only another 44hrs of driving, which is nothing when spread out. :lol:

PS-I really hope "in game saves" come out soon (IE Thursday).
