Sarthe Circuit 24 Hours II

The Sarthe Circuit 24 Hours II (named as Circuit de la Sarthe 24h II outside of the NTSC-J version) is an endurance event in Gran Turismo 4 that is designed to be replicated in the style of the 2004 24 Hours of Le Mans event but without the chicanes at the Mulsanne Straight. An International A license is required to compete in this event when using A-Spec. However, the player is at liberty to use B-Spec to speed up the progression of time and complete event in a more feasible 8 hours, though the time may be reset if entering the pits. Due to the limitations of the PS2, although the event takes place over the course of 24 hours of real-time gameplay, neither the weather nor the time of day changes during the race. Like with the Sarthe Circuit 24 Hours I, there is no way to save the game mid-race as this event must be completed for a whole day.
Winning this event will award the player a Bentley Speed 8 Race Car '03, the winner of the 2003 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Be wary of the GT40 Race Car should it appear. It may be the slowest car in the race, but it can go nearly twice as many laps as the Group C cars without needing new tires.
