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!

That would've been an awesome experience!

It's definitely a great way to form friendships. Le Mans is definitely one that's on my list and the N24! Any tips for preparing?
I'm trying to improve my SR in iRacing but I've a long way to go I fear!

I love the team aspect also, being able to sit in chat and have a laugh in between stints and plan out your next move is always a lot of fun. Especially in a race with changing conditions where you're trying to figure out the best point to pit for tyres and so on. It's one of the things I love about ACC with having to deal with rain and so on which can really mix things up

I found getting teammates to sit in the server with me and analyse my driving / give me live feedback was really helpful! We would rotate and give feedback to each other. Often it wasn't just what they were telling me, but the fact I knew someone was watching made me more focused on what to improve.

This is probably too specific to be helpful, but because the VEC had 3 divisions at the time, in the few days before a race the practice server would have 70-80 cars on at peak times, which was absolute chaos. That was pretty useful for practicing traffic, for sure! But any way to practice with real drivers definitely helps.

Definitely, I love how dynamic the sims are getting and hopefully this will keep getting better across the sims! It makes it much more interesting when there's a bit of rain in the mix :)
