Actually the A.I has improved quite a lot. 

The only advantage I had over the A.I was the fact that I drove faster than them during the rainy hours, because on the dry hours, they can actually keep up with me. 

Also, my current pitting routine in the dry hours has decreased from 13 laps to 10 laps, while the A.I still maintains the 12 laps routine. Thus I have to push harder and much faster on dry than I had to push on rain, and thanks to that I've continuously done some little mistakes here and there.

It also helps my cause that I'm driving with a wheel, which allows me to be much faster than I normally would with a Pad. In GT4, when I did the 24 hours Le Mans with a Minolta Toyota (much more power and corner ability than the 787b), I won it with barely -4 laps advantage, and I wasn't able to pull the current lap times that I'm pulling.

Thanks a lot I'll be updating it in a couple of hours, almost hitting the 13 hour mark now.

Yeah, it's one of the most prestigious races in current motorsports: http://www.lemans.org/en/

It's done with teams of 2-3 pilots, each taking 8 hours turns. 

In GT5, the Cr reward isn't that great, only 831K Cr. I don't know how much is the Exp reward, but I do hope it's substantial, as the Tsukuba 9 hours was 1.2M exp. 

I know what LeMans is.

Sorry, I should of rephrased my question: does this 24 hours race on your PS3 console take 24 real life hours?

And speaking of pilots, in-game you youself can be all those 2-3 pilots?

Ahhh yes, it takes 24 real life hours. I split the race in two days, since I could never do the 24 hours straight. 

In A-Spec you have to be those 2-3 pilots, but in B-Spec it works similar as the real Le Mans race. You take up to 4 drivers and you can change them between pit-stops, or when you see that they're completely drained. 

So far, i'm still 8 levels away from the Le Mans 24 Hours race in B-Spec, so my drivers still have a lot to race and evolve in their levels as to be able to last in this endurance.

You go girl!

Enjoyed reading your report Les <3.

Yeah I know  

I have been avoiding that thread for a long while. Last time I saw it, it was still pretty much incomplete, since the rewards in A-Spec were only filled up until Suzuka 1000 Km and B-Spec to Tsukuba 9 Hours, plus no one had still won the Sebastian Vettel Silver and Gold prizes xD.

i didnt play gt5 for 3 weeks. damn i miss it :(. but unfortunatly it takes me 10 minutes to set up my wheel.

Where do you set you wheel?

this is insane. you have to do 24h str8? or are there saves in between?
