[GT5] Endurance racing tips 'n stuff

[Gizmo!]

OK then chaps: thanks to the excellent seasonal events I'm now level 25 and the Endurance events are open.

I can't be the only one who never got them unlocked in GT4, so share the benefit of your wisdom please: I intend to do them in A-Spec where possible - and not just by using the FGT or s cloned Red Bull either

Do you need to do pit stops? How do you refuel? Can you change tyre type as well as get new ones? How do you know the tyres need changing (as opposed to just being toasted?)

How do you explain to the OH that you've been doing the same race for three hours?

1. Yes you will need to pit, either for fuel or tyres or both.
2. When entering the pit lane you will be asked what tyres to choose, Fuel if any required. Its totally your choice.
3. On the bottom left of the screen while driving inside of the tyre icons the wear level drops as you drive, slide etc.

A photo from a recent endurance race i did, check the bottom left to see what i mean:



Hope that helps

It does! Didn't realise that the tyre indicators drop: that's a neat way of showing it actually. Thanks
