I'm mainly a Sim racer for endurance events and was curious how many others there are out there that mainly focus on these events. I find shorter sprints a little too punishing in that one mistake/incident can cost you the entire race whereas enduros can be a little more forgiving.

I find personally a lot of satisfaction in doing the strategy as I'm not necessarily the fastest driver, but it can come up with some good strategies to find time over a long race.

What about anyone else? Curious to hear about your experiences and opinions!

I tried endurance racing a little bit in ACC and I'm not aversed doing more in the future but compared to your regular Sunday evening 1 h league races it takes a lot of commitment, not only from yourself, but also from your teammates. It's actually a lot of fun and driving 4.5 h alone when your teammates need to cancel is f'n intense.

You're absolutely right! There was a guy in our series that had to do a 12h solo! He used the stint penalties as a chance to go to the toilet! haha

There's definitely a lot of commitment involved, but there are also quite a few people looking for teams as well so there are certainly options out there!
