Otherwise, it isn't a hour race. As was mentioned, when the game first came out you couldn't save during races, so you had to actually sit there through a full twenty-four hours. There were daft players who defended this, pointing out that in real life there are twenty-four hour endurance races.
The difference is that 1 those drivers get paid to do it as a job, rather than it being just a chore, and very importantly 2 no driver ever does the full twenty-four hours. They're not allowed to do the entire race by themselves, and aren't allowed to do even half of it, and definitely not in a single sitting.
In reality a twenty-four hour race might have three drivers per car. If you do the math, that's eight hours per driver, but even then they don't do all that in one sitting. Polyphony Digital actually expected players to do the full twenty-four hours all by themselves. No real-world driver even does this. A handful of players would do it for a while and just leave the system running while they pause it and take a break or a nap, and then return, usually spending several days leaving the system constantly running.
At this point fanboys like to argue that it doesn't matter because the system can safely run for that long, but that's irrelevant. Expecting players to use power even when not playing the game is just poor design and a complete lack of even rudimentary logic, and what if you make it three quarters of the way through and then the power goes out, even for just a couple minutes? Now at this point fanboys would argue that nobody expected anything from players, but when the developers create these events they're presenting them to us for us to do them, and doing them meant running the hardware for several days without turning them off, so even though we didn't technically have to do them, they were presented to us with the expectation that, to complete them, we would do this.
Fortunately, somebody somewhere was critical of PD and pointed out to them that this was daft design, and they eventually patched it to allow us to take breaks without leaving the system running. If it wasn't for trolls pointing out what the developers get wrong, you would either have to leave your PS3 running for several days to complete one of these events or just not complete the game.
I'm not here for friends. I'm here for the truth to the best of my knowledge of it, even if it's not what people want to hear. Like, do I literally have to play GT5 for an entire day in order to win? Nah, nothing like that. You have to play an entire day and an entire night to win.
Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver. User Info: AnOracle. If it wasn't for trolls pointing out what the developers get wrong PSN: Scube I started the first one, but miscalculated with my car choice and after lagging in 3rd place at lap 5, I failed to see why I would bother with that for another 55 laps. I then completed the first race today with B-Spec. It was easy, I picked a car that would win easily a Citreon sports concept and then played Zelda whilst it raced itself.
At 2hours, 15minutes, I won with 4 laps ahead of the pack. Then I tried the 2nd race, Tsukaba for 4 hours about 3 hoursd in now, I am still winning, but not by much. I am not sure I want to give up 4 hours of my life for a measly 50,ish credits.
This is a short race though. The later ones get longer. I assume the LeMans really goes for 24 hours. I will do them all with B-spec as it doesn't really cost me time, and I want the bonus car from it.
It may take a fair bit of will power on my part to do them in A-spec. Can you imagine how hard it would be to keep racing for that long, knowing all along that you would come last? Watching a Uwe Bolle movie is only slightly less painful than that. I enjoy car racing, but I just can't grasp the concept of those long races.
If however, they had a track that I might enjoy, it could be different. Not so much a track, but a cross-country run over a beautiful landscape. At least the changing scenery would keep your eyes open.
It's fucking bullshit I've done 2 endurance races with the X just to see, The Indy which took me nearly 2 hours and the Grand valley one.
