[@markus007]

They should bring a daily race D and E. E for endurance and D just for more races.

[@josephmcdonagh1700]

That’s a good idea

[@destiny_gamer_hd9390]

D for Dirt-Races maybe?

[@rnsonly3864]

Exactly I love the realism with the endurance I really want Nurburgring 24hr 💯

[@baccarah7010]

​@@destiny_gamer_hd9390 would finally put all the content for this to use...

[@DanielFenandes]

Maybe there aren’t enough players

[@whitlermountain7198]

56 minutes of concentration holy shit that's wild love endurance races. please more of these if you have the energy for them.

[@oreichert]

One hour races are sprint races in endurance... Take a look over to BasicOllie, 24h Nordschleife or Spa, doing 3 hours stints each with his teammate.

[@KepleroGT]

I think the longest endurance race I ever did was 3.5h, it did have a small mandatory break but it was still difficult. It would've been a lot more fun if there were 24-30 cars on track

[@mordeath83]

That is my grind on the solo races same track using the Audi RS5 dtm car. Its just a joy to drive fast through corners decent straightline speed and a very frugal consumption rate when it comes to fuel

[@bduddy55555]

Fast forward to the unofficial season and we're getting 75 minute races...

[@hussle2654]

Imagine real 24 hour Le Mans drivers 😮

[@LeviNuen]

The guy letting you guys through at lap 18 was such a nice tough to an already exciting race. Loved the way the Supra and Gtr balanced out

[@MrDjsmooth87]

If you think about it, the GT racing versions of those cars through the ages have always made Goliath battles. GT6 Custom online private lobby with those cars at Daytona road course for an hour was a sheer THRILL 🤘🏽😁

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

Steve, endurance races are a must - I’m fed up of 6 lap races. No races are usually 6 or less laps. But it’s all to fit in with the 20 minute rotation. I would love a race D every week that was 20-50 laps. Very welcome.

[@luizarthurbrito]

Yeah. I don't play gt7, but LFM's 25 minute races seem like the bare minimum to enjoy a race. 25 minutes usually gives us 12 or more laps.

[@torque-drive2488]

I'd love endurance races but at a certain point, there may be an issue with players lagging out over time

[@luizarthurbrito]

@@torque-drive2488 why? I don't see that happening in GT or other games.

[@hsanrb]

Problem is the races have to be designed so that people who are DR C/D can complete them in a 25m window. (1m load and warmup (PS4 owners), 20-25m race, 3m before the session closes, load and requeue 1m.) While iRacing has a schedule that copes with session starts on the hour or hourly races shifted to :05 or :15 after the hour, we still have drivers crashing out of sessions that are now on a 2/3 hour rerun schedule [The championship races]

[@Wanted797]

I like the strategy of have to pit stop

[@renancristyan0099]

Even though you didn't win, that was a masterclass of consistency. Great job Super GT 👏

[@Super_GT]

I did both races within 1 second (total race time)! Couldn't believe it when I saw it.

[@daftbence]

@@Super_GT Immediately noticed it - to me this meant that you drove at your limit for 2*1 hour and you really pushed hard both times!

[@guilhermecahu]

SuperGT always wins in our hearts

[@yoMXTT]

​Wow. What an amazing consistency you have. Wonderful video!!!@@Super_GT

I had a rough day. A Super GT upload helps me at least end my day on a good and relaxing note. Thanks Steve

The fact that your total time for each race was 56:02 is insane.

8:54:23 is my fav bit

[@celticsuave]

Good races. The spaniard in the 2nd race was indeed so clean, huge props to him as well!

[@KingHoborg]

Endurance races are great. I love the feeling of accomplishment that you get when it's finished and you take a deep breath.

[@meta7gear]

A few mistakes I commonly see a lot of people make, first is that a 10l/sec refuel it doesn't make mathematical sense to fuel save in most races unless it saves you an entire pit stop. The other mistake was spending too long on hards. Yes the mediums degrade and feel terrible, but horribly worn softer compound is usually still quicker than badly worn harder compound. For example your last complete lap on the mediums was a 19.0 compared to doing 19.8 and 19.9 at the end of the hard stint.

[@vsm1456]

agree. looking at his tyres on the last lap, they would've survived one more lap

[@GrmlMaster]

I once asked Digit Gaming why he would fuelsave when he needed to stop for tires anyways. He said, that if you refuel at all the stop is alway 1-2s longer plus the time for the actuel refuelling. Therefore he think if you only need to save a little fuel to not refuel it was faster to fuelsave.

[@meta7gear]

@@GrmlMaster Yeh if you can save fuel to avoid having to refuel at all, then it's usually worth it

[@Strannix1979]

I really like this new format. This was a great vid and a good battle, expertly narrated. It is nice to see someone I’ve followed for a few years now keep perfecting their craft.

[@MIYayYo]

Gran Turismo and Endurance Races has always been a match made in heaven. Need more

[@johndc7446]

What makes it fun is how there are a lot of possibilities and twists that can happen mid game considering how long the game duration is.

[@brentg1]

Man, you are fast. I just found your videos and I’m really digging it. I’ve learned so much since watching your channel. The way you present your content is so engaging as well as the respect you give to the other drivers. Amazing!

[@mgsPWlover]

Damn, it's weird seeing people excited for 1hr races when coming from iRacing. I'm happy for the GT community to be experiencing it though, arguably the best format in simracing in my opinion.

[@Gatitasecsii]

I love these kinds of races where strategy plays a big role, as well as consistency. And look at your lap times btw... on Hard tyres is all 2:19s and then pit stop laps and on Medium Tyres is all 2:17s So good!!

[@TheCaptainJJ]

Pleasure racing you once again! 13:30 Had the same reasoning and struggled to find a rhythm beforehand, it was once you passed me that I did I also need to get that DR higher aswell!

[@sinistermaul306]

That's an awesome race. A win would've been better, but coming in 2nd like that when you both fought hard, that's incredible.

[@uKBaZ84]

This game definitely needs 20+ car lobbies and more endurance race's. Thanks for the entertainment as always 👍 gg

[@chimneysweep9179]

Amazing scenes as always with SuperGT. Endurance races put on quite a show and awesome effort on your behalf! Keep up the good work!

[@tho_tho]

Endurance races are tiring, but they are fun if the map is good. I remember back in the day, there was a local event at a game club on GT4 where it was 50 laps of Nurburgring, where you'd play as a team of 2 and switch every few laps, similar to real life endurance, good stuff!

[@Bikitninji]

Legend Barry R has returned

[@suitablestrawberry687]

Or like once a month GT7 could schedule a special event with either endurance, night -time, multi-class races.

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

Once a month? Once a week would be better.

[@Super_GT]

Agree but perhaps once a week. Perhaps a championship which isn't Nations or manufacturers.

[@hsanrb]

I just want 40-45m Exhibition MX-5 races with a 10m qual and I might reup my PS+ again. Imagine what other types of races could be highlighted... rally cups, multi class cups, maybe use the infrastructure to let leagues use PD servers to run their own championships with splits and divisions... so much potential wasted for the best races in the game.

[@caffeinecreature]

This video was really good, I enjoyed the mix of voiceover and live commentary from the race. There was one place where you sort of talked over yourself, but on the whole I think this can work really well. Also, amazing racing as always!

[@WhatIsContinue]

Yanno, I've never been a huge fan of racing sim games because I don't have the skill or patience for them. But watching you play whilst commentating them is such a pleasure. It opens up a new world of strategy and nuance to people who aren't familiar with just how different these types of games are from arcade racing games. Thanks for providing excellent content, best regards!

[@Greydawg]

18:44 When he didn't press "X" to pick the medium tyres right away it felt like absolute *ages...* 😬

[@UrielManX7]

18:00 There's a quote from Ryu in SF3rd Strike, that always stuck with me in competitive activities: "Seek an opponent that is your equal. Only then can you improve." Which is also when you have the most fun (unless you're an asshole), when you're fighting someone as good (or bad) as you, not knowing who will win, real tension, pushing each other to be better.

[@ventivazar470]

What i really learned to love about your videos is how interesting you can actually present a game like this. Your commentary made me learn alot about racing and racing strategies. Keep this great work up fella! You are doing an amazing job here.

[@The_BenboBaggins]

This was such a good combo - the only thing I would have changed would be to make all three compounds mandatory

[@sepashitakamura6415]

Really enjoyed watching that race, was a great one and it really shows your hard work that consistency is on another level😎

[@test_dude]

Endurance races would be fun in general. Even more singleplayer ones with more challenge. But for multiplayer, they do need a good payout to make them worth it

[@TorriganFTW]

Can we please acknowledge how good that Murray walker impression was

[@BiBooNKC]

Finally something other then a 5 lap race this SHOULD be legit with pit stops and all cant wait for more to come if there is more now time to enjoy KEEP IT UP

[@BiBooNKC]

Thank you to the likes was hoping for GT to see both on the last 2 but he liked everyones before and after mine, but not mine sucks to not be acknowledged as a Subscribers when asking about his IRL racing or anything else

[@BiBooNKC]

Only reason I unsubbed

[@sparey4431]

In the single player too. There’s ONE “24hr” race for 1 million credits at Spa. I’ve done it so many times now I’m bored shitless because it’s pretty much the only race worth doing 🤷‍♂️

[@matthewlok3020]

Gotta love that Murray Walker impersonation

[@pinch-of-salt]

These strategy based races are a nail biter!! Especially when there is a more equally matches lobby.

[@SyriusStarMultimedia]

“Work together…with me leading.” 😀🏎️

[@silverspiderpig5]

Thank you for carrying the torch on GT7 endurance races. It's so much better than short races but I get its a niche request.

[@Sniperkitten971]

Saudi driver is a class act, he knew his strategy was subpar and let you guys pass to fight for the win ! GG

[@ruikazane5123]

So PD may accomplish one of our wishes - 30 laps of Trial Mountain with real players! Could have been better if they haven't changed that chicane but oh well...would be nice to see Apricot Hill too!

[@TheDealer1228]

Excellent driving, Steve. That second race was a fantastic watch.

[@subparracer52]

Really well done mate! Great hustle and result! But it would be great indeed if they would add a 4th "Daily" as an endurance and put the weather in a real random rotation!

[@5tuartGuy]

love this new style you've been doing recently with the facecam & live reaction

[@romanshagiev9205]

Past and present Super GT clashing with each other for a few moments, remarkable!

[@juanin200]

Fun fact: the Spaniard that won the second race was called "With All the Flow"

[@fprintf]

So awesome to see my two favorite GT7 drivers, you and Rory, in the same race. Off to watch Rory now...

[@supermccnasty4176]

An endurance race in GT7 is a sprint race in iRacing… im glad they are giving console players the chance to experience longer races in VR though… it’s awesome

[@corydunton]

So hard to get that math down for how much fuel you need. Awesome racing Steve! Love from the US.

[@Kireth]

Kudos - the consistency was insane!!

[@nextgengaming7803]

They absolutely do need to come back, longer races at le mans, spa, nurbergring. Most tracks need a 1 hour, 2 hour 4 hour 6 hour option maybe longer. They're fantastic

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

They’re a testament to our concentration and driving skills. I sooooo enjoyed them in previous games, matched with the fact you didn’t have to sit there the entire time. You could save mid race! Come back to it after food, rest and fluids lol

[@KayeWhye]

I believe Markus nailed it. D and E races for better variety and endurance races in various groups.

[@adamwaind7938]

Cracking Race/Video Steve. My opinion : It was frustrating that GT2 league was only 12 laps for the same Nations event. But even so, an endurance daily race with live quali is exactly what is needed

[@christopherbickell3258]

100% THIS! I was looking forward to an hour of GT3 cars around Spa. I had no idea GT2 was shorter, so I tried to stretch my first tire stint to 11 laps only to find myself dead last after stops.

[@TheBlackStig33]

This is some really good racing! I just wish there was more balance in the GR3 class so the entire field wouldn’t be forced to use just two cars to be competitive.

[@antonydiaz1290]

A plethora of endurance races is all i want, make them interesting, don't just make em Gr.3 or Gr.1, make em different drivetrain races, one makes, FR, 4WD, historic races, make racing fun, the lack of content and variety is what kills the joy for me in this game

[@Notsam12345]

Imagine having supergt in your mirrors for an entire race

[@LuizCarmonaEditor]

I'm so confused, wasn't this race in "B" lobbies only 12 laps?? Is that even a thing now in Gran Turismo? Or am I missing something?

[@mrsheev9131]

Shades of "But here comes Sebastian Vettel" @13:20, loved the Murray Walker impression as well.

[@benoitdeclercq9722]

amazing closing shot Steve! ;) Spa is such a good track.. liked both races!

[@psychodarling666]

i have no fcking idea why i like these videos so much

[@FretFreak02]

I love endurance races. Both on GT Sport, GT7 and my favorite, ACC. In ACC there are options for 4h, 6h and 24h as well. It is insane. Strategy of saving fuel and tires becomes so much more evident than the standard races.

[@tpgbretto198]

“Missing the apex by about 5 miles…just a bit suboptimal.” 😂😂

[@Tony-sz8ql]

They used to have endurance races in every game. I remember in gt5 they had a whole section, multiple 8,10,&12 races.

You proved to me that the g29 can do serious work. Great driving!

[@Nathanielbowditch6811]

I just love seeing Super Gt do something out of the ordinary

[@zuon_0182]

My only wins online in GT7, and in GT sport for that measure, were at endurance races, with my most dominant one being one with Wet to dry conditions. So, yeah, all up for endurance!

[@carlubetv]

I race the Spa 1 hour race 800pp every day, i’ve taken a host 60+ of different cars around, fastest I’ve been round was in the Mazda 787b at 211.053.

[@geraldocasiano5047]

[@cfwebdeveloper]

Love endurance videos, this was awesome!

[@borisrozental]

if you likeendurance racing, there's a set of challenges at the challenges center that are 1 hour races and there's the 1 hour of Spa in the world circuits

[@ponta08]

I remember playing a Forza motorsport game when I was younger and I still remember doing 98 laps of spa. It was so fun and I wish I could go back.

[@Jessicas2CarGarage]

Unfortunately, you only get a 24 lap race in GT1. If you are a lower class of player, you get half the race. And given that there are a lot of people who will spin you just to get head, half a race will not leave time to work back up to the front. Give everyone the same race PD!

[@ghostlyrazgriz5228]

I suppose thats a good motivation for people to practice and improve. If GT1 gets the long races then its something to work for

[@hevi2866]

Annoying! I was so hyped for a proper, long race in VR. Didn't happen though as I'm just a BS driver 😕

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

@@ghostlyrazgriz5228 I don’t agree with the fact it’s GT1 only. Yes we all just improve but being limited because we’re not A+ S is elitist. - Same game for everyone.

Yh same was disappointed tbh. Got my snacks and drink ready for a long race for it to only be 12 laps 😢

I think they don't trust most of the lower DR drivers to stick around for an hour lol and to be honest, they're probably correct 😔

[@mattjoy2274]

Yes, the second race was exciting in its own right. but it made for a super video. Proper intrigue from start to finish, great strategy, absolutely gripping. I know it can't always be like this but damn this was a great piece of work!

Your impression was spot on. Good job Steve. Long time viewer here. First time leaving a comment

[@jonathanregan4344]

Do more of these races! This was fun to watch, I really enjoyed it!

[@notafrosty2351]

Not having longer races is sort of why I stopped playing GTS, the daily races were just over so quickly, not much chance of battling or overtaking unless someone messed up spectacularly. I do miss it though.

Sometimes i find endurance races to be a bit too much of a time commitment personally but i love that yall are happy their back :)

Beautiful races brother man, love to see it. I’m limited to Forza until I get my pc finished. Much love from Missouri

[@coolerdaniel9899]

The endurance races are much more exhilarating, makes the stakes much higher when 7 second gaps to the lead can actually be closed.

[@Steve30x]

The longest race I've done on GT7 was an hour long which I wouldn't class as an endurance race. I would love if they put properly long endurance races in the game.

[@xiof1312]

2:13 The new Murray Walker 💯

[@rayvanhorn1534]

Excellent runs Steve, hard charging to the last. My fuel saving skills are not that good, & I find myself in a pickle frequently running low in some races. I'm all for more endurance races; wish PD would mirror actual real world events (Nürburgring recently, which was a FANTASTIC race!). All the 12 & 24 hour taces would be epic & throw some goodies to the top ten guys while they're at it!

[@austinbartron4875]

Agreed. More races means more content for people to enjoy. More diversity, more time playing.

[@mordeath83]

Not that I am anywhere close to your level but the lesson to be learned here from that second race is top it off so that you can push hard right to the end. On the other hand you were never gonna catch that spanierd he had a flawless race
