@gmmatthew1 My favourite arcade game of all time. I too noticed when I played I got less time than it said. I also have a suspicion you lose what it says when you are passed. It always made me wonder whether I should be fighting with the "rival" car. But I did get passed. I noticed on the races where there are 14 opponents, cars disappear when you pass them. But they don't in the le mans race, at least when I played. Maybe there's a setting. I sometimes dropped a place to 21st at the start.

@gmmatthew1 Well, even if it's possible it's definitely not easy. Maybe this machine was set harder than the default settings, which is why less time is given than the game says... I would look at other videos to check, but I'm in class right now.

@gmmatthew1 In addition, it says there are 40 cars in the race, but I've actually tried standing still the whole 120 seconds and I was never overtaken. There are some cars that you can lap, but not as many as you overtake, so even if you could manage 1:06.5 laps, you wouldn't finish.
And I've since discovered that lapping a car actually earns 3 seconds, not 4.

@bduddy55555 Indeed, a REALLY good player would be able to complete 7 laps (average lap 1:08.5), but the trouble is that they only receive the 13 second bonus after completing the 7th lap, by then the race will have pretty much finished. To make use of that 13 second bonus, they would need to be doing about 1:06.5 per lap, and I don't see that being possible.

@gmmatthew1 Nice calculations, but it's probably possible to do 7 laps (look at this guy, he finishes the first one in significantly less than 3 hours) which adds 13 more seconds, leaving 78 left = 20 lapped cars... I think that's doable (there are 20 cars behind you at the start of the race!)

The game is indeed impossible on one coin. It's 20 seconds per "hour", that's 480 seconds you need to finish. You start with 120 seconds. You get 8 seconds (not 9 as it says) for each opponent you pass, that's 19x8=152. You get a 13 second lap bonus for each lap, that's 6x13=78. And you get a 13 second bonus every 6 hours, that's 3x13=39. That amounts to 389 seconds, not counting any lapped cars (only 4 seconds each), so you can't finish on one credit.

@Caevinz you can play this at home now on the Supermodel emulator. The visual are still a bit wonky in places, but it's totally playable.

Compare that to Fernando Alonso when Ayrton Senna won his second title

I played Le Mans 24 one day and noticed that it took me 4 credits to complete the race!
A Very Nice Game.
