Sounds like fun! N2k3, right? Anybody know if the AI can handle a 6-hour
race? I may try one sometime...

I tried a 24hr setting...(a whole lotta laps) and sometime in the
night, whilst I was sleeping, it crashed. I'm assuming you need a fair
amount of memory for the replay and there probably is a setting or two in
the .ini files that need to be changed.
I know the AUssies have already run at least one online 24hr event.
I don't think I would tackle that unless I had a driving team of at least
4 or 5 drivers. Especially when you consider the non driving drivers can
act as a spotter. My teammate called my cell phone just as I was exiting
the pitbox after gas and tires. Well chatting with him was just enough of
a distraction that I busted the speed limit...AND>>>> I didn't hear my
spotter saying stop and go or drive thru...I motored down pit lane and
since the pit crew stayed still without waving the flag, I GUESSED it was a
drive thru penalty..whew. :)
My problems were self inflicted. I was working all day and had to rush
home to make my driving time. So I literally came home, said hi to the
missus and jumped on the computer. It took me probably half an hour before
I was even comfortable turning laps. Just Awful. Later, in my two + hour
stint,I was feeling pretty good about keeping pace with the MARA team, but
now, after the fact, I find they were motoring around with NO THIRD GEAR!
Oh well.. I did equal my fastest practice times but I also lost a lot of
time trying to avoid the top teams. I think everytime I TRIED to give the
fast guys the inside line, they came blasting down the outside. At least 3
or 4 times I got rear ended entering turns that way.
I'll get together will my team and turn in a full race report later this
week.
