when you complete these, do you get a percentage regardles if there done in A-spec or B-spec


or do you need to do them in both
i have the nurburg ring 24 hour race running, 16 hours in, b-spec mode, driver is 9 laps ahead running on 3 medium, there is no way i could be botherd to do a 24 "live" a-spec race, so will i be robbed from the game percentage for doing it in b-spec mode only?

Did the 24hr ring yesterday in B Spec - you win the F1 car - my % is still going up

LOL - my b-spec driver did both le sarthe 24hr races, motegi 8hr, suzuka 1000km & fuji speedway 1000km before it was allowed to rest - only I ended up doing a 3hr stint on le sarthe II due to the amount of ****-ups he was making!

he won motegi by only 12 secs which was a close call.

as long as you havew a gold recorded in the race - your percentage will increase.

Foxmod

what car did you use for the 2nd le sarthe as I've tried the F1 but he keeps ******* up on the straight and crashing - I not doin it

Le Sarthe 2 (unchicaned) I used the Audi R8 (won on Le Sarthe 1). This is the race that my B-Spec driver struggled with and when I got back from work (15 hrs into race) he was a lap down - took me 3 hrs on A-Spec to get it back, I was lapping about 10 secs a lap quicker but was eating through tyres like nobody's business (pitting every 3 laps) leader was pitting every 7! - because of this I was only getting nearer when he pitted as my quicker times were only just enough to compensate for the extra stops.

Yep - my drivier kept hitting the left hand wall on hundieres (sp?) - I think its a known bug. Aparently it's caused mainly by ride height - lifting the car by 15mm fixes it I think.

B-Spec is easy to use left and right buttons to control pace, triangle to set overtaking (just switch to on) and circle to force pit entry.

trouble is your driver will be sh!te - apparently he gets better the more you use him and his machine, battle etc skill gets higher. If you want to make sure you win races with it I'd suggest you go OTT with BHP compared to the competition to start with.

For the endurance races I just set it to Pace 4 with overtaking switched on then go to bed. You can lose a bit of time when pitting as you need to select settings (refuel, tyres) and if you don't the mechanics will just stand there doing nowt for 3 secs or so until it takes the default settings - so you can leave it to it's own devices most of the time - which is a good job for the 24hr races.

Seriously what is the point of the endurance races..just a waste of time ?

I started with an MX-5 in the roadster race, which won me a Mazda RX-7 LM car.
Used the RX-7 in the Laguna Seca race and won GT40 then at EL Capitan which wins the Minolta 88C-V (a serious beast) bang a bigger turbo in and you have a 1150bhp nutcase.

Used that in Nurburgring 24hrs and win the F1 car, in Le Sarthe 1 and win the Audi R8 then in Le Sarthe 2 and get the Bentley Speed 8.
