Was doing endurance race. Had to pause. When i came back accidently pushed restart instead of of continue. 3 hours wasted. It needs update to fix this. Like ask "are you sure". Like if you agree.

So it's player's mistake, not software or hardware. Endurance race is hell. :(

Long ass races that test your endurance, hence the name.

lol yeah, that's why real endurance races have 3 or 4 racers sometimes. One just can't do that sort of stuff without drugs or dangerous amounts of coffee.

Its a whole new series of GT Mode A-Spec races that are unlocked when you reach level 25 as a driver. The first one is a 60 lap race. The second one is a 4 hour long race. lol The Extreme series actually warms you up for these. The last two events in Extreme have championships that are 5 races long at 10 laps per race except for a 3 lap Nurburgring which is like doing 10 on any other track. You can break between each race, but you can't quit the championship without having to restart it. Sort of similar to pausing your endurance race.

It does actually give you a sense of what actual race drivers go through. Just the sheer concentration to hit their lines and every corner lap after lap after lap. I found racing some of the smaller tracks at 10 laps per race fairly boring. Nurburgring was not though. That course is a beast and always keeps you on your toes. The instant you lose concentration, your off track. lol

I don't know if I'll have the stomach for those endurance races - I did a few of the shorter (4 hour) ones in GT4, but once I realized there was a 24 hour race I just threw my hands up in the air. I think I prefer the way Forza handles its endurance races, where they're all roughly an hour (or a little longer). Long enough where you start to appreciate the concentration a real driver has to go through but not long enough where you get bored.

The 2nd to last one is the Formula GT series, and it is 6 races long, and 20 laps for most of the races if I recall. I used to hate the Nurburgring, but now I love that track. It took me roughly 3 hrs to complete the formula GT championship. Each race was roughly 30 minutes long. I haven't gotten into any of the hardcore endurance races myself as I haven't had that much free time away from the Wifey. LOL, This weekend I am planning on atleast getting one in.
