Gran Turismo 5 Racing Endurance Race Laguna Seca Ran out of gas with 4 to go

[smoceskreen]

GT5's Laguna Seca is much better than Fm4's.. you can use the inside curb on 8a (lower part of Corkscrew) a lot just like the real circuit. In FM4 you get slowed-down (corner cutting) which is a real bummer when you're attempting to pass a Pro AI (only real place u can do so in FM4)

[66lwmorgan]

@smoceskreen I watched your video at Laguna Seca, I must admit the graphics look great. That happens to be one of my favorite tracks and the corkscrew is the best place to pass, right where you did.

[THAREALDAN]

Damn man. I feel sorry for you. The entire last two laps I'm like "COME ON! SOMEBODY PIT! SOMEBODY PIT!" and if there was a possible miracle, BOTH lead cars would pit (because the AIs are a**holes and are idiots). Oh well. Learn from your mistakes then :/

[66lwmorgan]

@THAREALDAN It was a little dissappointing but it was my own dumb fault. I sure was hoping for the leaders to pit, lol. Oh well, its a fun track to race, thats the only thing that made it worth while. Thanks for watching.

[markothevrba]

I used the x2010 and pushed AI on the straight, so they couldn't stop at corners and kept spinning out :D

[66lwmorgan]

@markothevrba LOL, thats the car to do it with.

[throbbingwartool]

George Lucas in 3rd lol

[chadheck96]

I really hope you took a break. lol

[66lwmorgan]

@chadheck96 I raced it with no breaks but the second time I did, lol.

[brunocpc]

How the f do u turn the damage on?

[66lwmorgan]

@brunocpc As you progress thru the game the damage will automatically start to show up. I don't remember what level it was when it started showing and in regular play the damage never gets real critical. When racing online you have an option to turn on the damage if you are hosting the race and believe me it works well, to well sometimes.

[ThePPPTrainAndCarFan]

Oh well... you tried... over getting 3rd by "computer players" wont be worth 3rd place

[ThePinkguns]

@ThePPPTrainAndCarFan WTH are u talking about?

[ThePPPTrainAndCarFan]

@ThePinkguns computer players as in CPU, and CPU are suppose to be really easy to defeat, but running out of gas sucks against easy stuff

[DonDonAlmighty]

lol that was awesome XD

[66lwmorgan]

@DonDonAlmighty lol, it was fun even though I didn't win, thanks for watching

[DriiftKiiing]

Mission Impossible.

[Cshizzle94]

Can someone tell me if other cars have to pit too? Cuz if not that's pretty stupid...

[66lwmorgan]

@Cshizzle94 The AI cars have to pit to, maybe not as often as you will but they do pit in the Endurance Races.

[mrbeadfory56]

i always wanted to see wat its like when car gas is finish

[66lwmorgan]

@mrbeadfory56 LOL, I figured it was like gran turismo of old, the car would continue but at a slow steady speed. If I had run out closer to the pits I think I still could have won the race, lol. Thanks for watching buddy.

[xb3l0wz3r0x]

i would've ben pissed of after over 2 hours of racing, i lost because of gas.,,

[Kimisrcn]

you planned all of this man. thats why you are recording. you wouldnt record just a boring endurance race.

[DutchRacerr]

@Kimisrcn, ofcourse he wouldn't! Do you actually think he is going to drive over 2 hours and then run out of fuel on purpose just to make a vid on youtube?!

[66lwmorgan]

@DutchRacerr Your right, it wasn't planned, I just screwed up but the good thing is I really like this track and didn't mind racing it again. Thanks for watching.

[zfqkku]

how to acrtiveate the gas ?

[66lwmorgan]

@zfqkku Not sure what you mean, are you asking how to activate the gas during a pitstop? If so, just click on the gas option and move the slider up.

[MagicalChickenWings]

Haha, why I always use my fastest car on Endurance races.

It's not as fun but if you don't have a wheel driving anything for more than 2 hours really isn't fun.

[66lwmorgan]

@MagicalChickenWings LOL, thats true but that race wasn't bad and you are right again about the wheel, its whole new animal driving with a steering wheel versus the had controller.

[Eugene4251]

I just did this race in a FGT and almost crapped my pants of boredom. 190k credits, 158k xp, and an Infinity Concept Coupe is not worth driving for almost 2 hours, luckily the next race is the Indy 500 which is easier and has a good prize, a Jaguar XJ13 :)

[66lwmorgan]

@Eugene4251 LOL, I feel your pain buddy, there are quite a few races that just aren't worth time for the payoff or the car you win. The car I won for the 9 hour Endurance race was a real turd, couldn't believe that was the prize car.

[spiff3n]

i won with a 27 lap lead on this..

[66lwmorgan]

@spiff3n Thats pretty good, I could have put several laps on them to but I was just keeping it close. I wish I would have had at least 1 lap on them after I ran out of gas, lol.

[odd223]

Aha should've bought a Prius lol jk

[66lwmorgan]

@odd223 lol, the Prius would have been good on gas but I would have finished in last, thanks for watching

[doommmmmmm]

how long did you take on the 200 km run?

[66lwmorgan]

@doommmmmmm I think it was about 2 hours and 30 minutes, at the end of the video in the upper right hand corner it shows the total time of the race. Thanks for watching

[doommmmmmm]

@66lwmorgan the lvl 25 200 k run the first of the endurance races, not at seca thats the one i'm talking about.

[dirtti]

What car are you driving?

[66lwmorgan]

@dirtti that would be the Chrysler Prowler, under powered compared to most of them but it ran good and was a lot of fun. thanks for watching

[TEP1796]

can't you just pit and refuel? when you realised instead of waiting all that time

[66lwmorgan]

@TEP1796 My last pit for fuel was lap 60, I was guesstamating on how much I would need to run another 30 laps and missed it by 4. You are correct though, if I had made a pit stop when I first saw it I probably could have won. If you are real low on fuel and then pit it seems like it takes almost a full 60 seconds just to fill up even though 9 to 10 liters would have gotten me to the finish. Thanks for watching

[TEP1796]

can't you just pit and refuel?

[66lwmorgan]

@TEP1796 When you pit you automatically get tires as well, theres no option to take fuel only even though I could have should have made the pit. I was stopping for tires about every 20 to 25 laps, I just wanted to see how close I would be at the end for future references.

[66lwmorgan]

Let me revise the time to run this race, I ran it again today and took a total of 2:37.

[jgdogg441]

it should have it to where the car starts to sputter and lose horsepower before you run out completely. Also it sounds like you're using a wheel, what are you using?

[66lwmorgan]

@jgdogg441 A little warning wouldn't hurt but I thought from previous pitstops I had enough, oh well, it was fun and will be worth racing again. I use the Logitech G25 Racing Wheel. Thanks for watching

[66lwmorgan]

About 31/2 to 4 hours. Luckily you can pause the game and come back

[Fsxlovely]

how many hours did it take to complete 90 laps..? its huge amount of laps XD
