I'm mainly a Sim racer for endurance events and was curious how many others there are out there that mainly focus on these events. I find shorter sprints a little too punishing in that one mistake/incident can cost you the entire race whereas enduros can be a little more forgiving.

I find personally a lot of satisfaction in doing the strategy as I'm not necessarily the fastest driver, but it can come up with some good strategies to find time over a long race.

What about anyone else? Curious to hear about your experiences and opinions!

@ChoccyMilk that's an interesting take that I had not thought of. I always avoided longer races because it was more of a commitment, time-wise. Not that I didn't want to, but just seemed like more of a big deal. Maybe I should give longer format races a shot! I know iRacing does a nords eduros that is like 2 hour long races iirc.

There are a lot of T1 heroes out there, you can at least recover in those instances!

The league I race in is once a month so it's not too extreme a commitment. Usually have to block out a Saturday and that's about it. 6-12h races in teams of 2-4 so usually depending on your team mates there can be done flexibility if you need to run to the shops or anything. It's definitely still a big commitment but I find one a month to be a good balance and also offer plenty of time to practice. I find after 60-70 mins I definitely need a break haha
