Motegi 8 Hours Endurance

The Motegi 8 Hours Endurance is an endurance race in Gran Turismo 4. The race lasts 8 hours around the Twin Ring Motegi Road Course, where only cars with normal or sports tires can enter. The event is designed for tuning cars from various tuners, and your opponents drive a variety of them.
The aim of this endurance race, rather than to complete a set number of laps in the fastest time, is to complete the most complete laps in the 8 hour period. The race ends at the end of the first lap completed after the checkered flag falls (8 hours + 1 lap).
Winning the Motegi 8h Endurance awards the player a Honda NSX-R Prototype LM Road Car.
The event, which takes 8 hours to complete in A-Spec mode can be won in just 2 hours and 40 minutes if the player uses B-Spec. Due to the limitations of the PS2, although the event takes place over the course of 8 hours real-time, neither the weather nor the time of day changes during the race.

Players up against S2000 drivers must take into account that not only are these cars really quick around the track - with all models capable of doing laps in less than 2'20 - but they also have high endurance on their tires. The best of these are the 2004 models by Amuse and Opera Performance; the Amuse S2000 has the best endurance while the Opera Performance S2000 is the outright fastest. The Z models should also be considered threats, since they are capable of the same lap times and tire life as the 2000 model S2000's.
Winning this event fairly is hard to do; having outright pace helps, but not having great tire life can leave you behind after multiple pit-stops. Finding the perfect balance between the 2 will net the best result and make victory possible.
