Are they serious!??
 

After many months of abandoning my PS2 i've resumed playing Gran Tourismo 4, made good progress ( 83% ), however... do they seriously expect us to race for 24 hours on the Nurburgring or Sarthe?? :shock: .
Its just rediculous, at most i can play 2 maybe 3 hours a day (id be well fed up by then)
so really is it 24 hours?,
If so.... for those who endured it to the bitter end how long did it take you (including breaks.. sleep etc) .... and how did you feel at the end LOL :P :lol:

Well the idea is to do a stint yourself and then let the AI drive for you for some hours untill you are willing to take the wheel again

We all heard stories about people dying after playing hours of counter strike... are you suggesting we'll be hearing stories about people playing GT4? :roll:

it is being called the game that will never be finished :|

Actually it is not hard to play yourself 24h races. ME and my 7 friends played 3houre per driver and finished all races in 1th positions. But you have to chose good players to race with you. But most of the time I let th AI race this 24h races for me.

No but seriously, why not to use the AI?! Of course it will never be as quick as you, but you just need a good car, build a good lead and check what it is doing every now and then when it's up to it to drive :bah:

hehe... im onlly 42% done
really, i dont get the inkering to 'complete' the game, as its replay is simply different cars, different setups, different tracks... i only race when i need more $$ :lol:

oh, and when a race is 'harder' to win in B-spec... i do the same thing TT is pointing out... i start the race myself, race about 10 laps, and get myself ahead by a pitstop+15 sec or so, and just let it play for a while.

i know what a-spec points mean... but i cant figure out thier purpose... 200 pt. maximum is possible if the game thinks you have an unfair disadvantage :lol: dependent on weight, power, and aerodynamics... not suspension/tires/naawwwws

Okay i never knew there was an AI driver lol :oops: i thought it was going to be a one man show ie just me *SHUDDER*
Q: is the AI driver only available in B-spec and the 24H races, or is it applicable else where?

Originally posted by TT
is a fully worked up (NOS + 4th stage turbo = 1054BHP) Audi R8 race car good enough for these 24H races? (ie the AI will put up the good fight), and what car did you use TT?

oh and nthfinity a good race for monies (if your interested) is the German touring car race (i use a fully equiped Merc CLK touring car) for about 30 mins work you get:
$75000 (championship)
+ 5x$15000 (races)
+ $743749 (Mercedes CLK GTR race car)
the total is $893749
this is how i fund most of my activities, like the Audi R8 and my 18 Jaguar XJ220's (all colours + race car)
(ps if you know an easier/quicker race that get more dosh let me know :D :wink:

I ran all the endurance races with a Formula 1 car ;)

GT4 sucks.

GTR fanboy...

Forza sucks.

you can't get it till you run the 24hrs ring race, you cheater you...

My bad :P

I accidently GameSharked all the cars and a bunch of money on day one - then all i had to do was race to open all the events ;)

98.4% finished here.

I haven't touched that game in months now. I've decided that there are certain challenges within that game that I simply cannot beat. But for the 24 hr races the trick, as mony others here are saying, is to let the AI do most off the work. You just need to be sure you have a good enough car that it makes up for the poor skills of the AI driver.
