==Tips & Tricks==
Since the entire field is nothing but Roadsters, don't worry about trying to get a jump on the opponents. Try to focus more on keeping a smooth racing line early to get a wide gap between you and 3rd place. The RS variant pits in after just 3 laps, so use that to your advantage. As for tyres, Hard Racing tyres are recommended since your remains nimble, but also needs fewer stops.
==Trivia==
*This is the only endurance race in GT3 with restrictions on what cars are permitted for the event and restrictions on tuning, compared to the Trial Mountain 2 Hours Endurance which only restricts tuning.
*The event's flyer features the name Roadster 耐久 (taikyu), regardless of the region.
*This is one of two GT3 endurance races in which one or more opponents are also prize cars, the other being the Mistral 78 Laps.
