I Spent 28 HOURS on Gran Turismo's Longest Race. It Was HELL

What you attempted and achieved was fascinating and very entertaining because of how insane it was. You deserve all the kudos that came your way and continues to come your way. Well done man.

Just amazing - was there at the start, for many hours during day one, when it was raining, when it was dark and then for the last 50 laps - after the depths of the lows to see the reinvigoration when the boys came in was fantastic but then to see the likes, subs and ultimately the concurrent viewers just grow and grow was exactly what you deserved. Well done Rory, have been there for many of your key streams and moments over the last two years but this beats them all - truly inspiring.

[@Metalsonic91]

i remember back in the day i did the Nürburgring 24 Hours Endurance race on gran turismo 4 took me a whole weekend to do (4 hour shift friday night 12 hour shift on saturday and 8 hours on the sunday) having to pause the game and leave my console on to do it all for bragging rights at school cause all my mates said it wasnt possible and when i finished i didn't want to play Gt4 ever again the fact you did this in a single sitting is mind blowing well done man

Wow what an achievement, having taken part in real world 24 hour races I can only appreciate the mental strength it must’ve taken you to go for so long, drivers are typically done after 2/3 hour stints (obviously the physical challenge is different) but those night stints in particular are more brutal. Unreal effort earnt a big follow here!

[@mboyle19]

Wow, this is inspiring. That is one of the toughest tracks in Gran Turismo even during day light and sunny weather, way to pull through

[@IsabinMarius]

Man this is nuts. I remember doing 182 laps in 24h on GT4 way way back. Sexiest S2000 in the game, maxed out NA tune, on sports tyres... was madness. Is worth noting that I spent an entire day just tuning (as opposed to just adding parts to) the car day to be microscopically ideally adjusted for every single inch of its route around the Green Hell. That was the day I REALLY got to know the Nordschleife. The race was just the culmination of my efforts, albeit a massive challenge nonetheless. One you now understand. BLOODY WELL DONE from a man who knows.

For some it’s just a game but for me It’s an emotion cause it fulfils my dream of having to drive these cars that I can’t afford right now and I just wanna tell you Rory that you are the greatest driver I’ve ever seen. I’ve been watching your videos regularly and even when I’m eating lunch I just tune in to your live and it’s just great to watch you, but this was next level shit man. MASSIVE RESPECT.

Man how have you learnt the track that well. I recently took my personal car an E63s to the Nurburgring, i didnt do any competitive laps just leisurely with a bit of pushing and best i got was a 12min lap. I have to admit i was not pushing hard as i didnt want to break my car or eat my tires or burn my brakes. I did 3 laps and called it a day but it was sooooo much fun. Best 45mins of my ownership of the car. Luckily it was a warmish 23° day so no rain just sun and smiles. Good job on the 200laps.
