I frequently run enduros in iRacing with my permanent team. I posted a Spa24 summary a while ago, where we had many little mistakes over time causing us to quit when we fell too far behind. Looking forward to the Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta later in the fall though. Also rain will be quite interesting.
From my experience doing 6-12h events in ACC rain can really add an interesting element to racing in general. It's quite terrifying when your entire field of vision is nothing but grey! We did a 9h at Imola earlier this year and I think 6 out of those 9 hours were wet, it was a very difficult race but very rewarding if you manage to keep your nose clean that whole time!
I'm looking forward to the introduction of rain in iRacing, it definitely mixes things up setup wise in some cars! Though I must admit I've only limited experience in iRacing
I did a 6hrs of Bathurst once, no rain but ACC is def more of a workout to drive than iRacing regardless, with how much more effects and noises and ffb you get. Can't imagine doublestinting as much in ACC as I usually do.
I run irFFB for iRacing and with some tinkering I've got the FFB to where I reckon it's comparable.
There are some folk who've soloed entire races, they've gone down in folklore in some communities haha.
