I have a few questions about GT5....

1. Is there any races on B-Spec where more than 1 of your drivers can race at the same time? Otherwise isn't it easier to use the 1st 1 that's higher level the whole time?
2. Why is there no restrictions on seasonal events now? It's way to easy and no fun anymore because anyone can do it if they just spend loads of money instead of having to tune their cars.
3. Why do so many of the races let you use any car? You can just go into a race with all AI using 500bhp cars and you'll have 900bhp so there's no challenge.
4. What do people mean when they say they're cars breaking in or something?....
5. What's the point of doing licenses?

If you can help me please do.

I have a few questions about GT5....

1. Is there any races on B-Spec where more than 1 of your drivers can race at the same time? Otherwise isn't it easier to use the 1st 1 that's higher level the whole time? Yes. I think the Endurance Hall gives you the ability. There maybe more.
2. Why is there no restrictions on seasonal events now? It's way to easy and no fun anymore because anyone can do it if they just spend loads of money instead of having to tune their cars. It Isn't? I hadn't check yet.
3. Why do so many of the races let you use any car? You can just go into a race with all AI using 500bhp cars and you'll have 900bhp so there's no challenge. Because people need to grind to purchase expensive cars.
4. What do people mean when they say they're cars breaking in or something?.... It's called Engine break-in. Look it up in Wikipedia. But to save some time, It's probably about driving enough on a newly bought car that it actually makes the gears & stuff like wear to its full potential.
5. What's the point of doing licenses? It's there to teach you about driving & driving techniques. I suggest you do some.

If you can help me please do.

1- I think so..
2- Because Polyphony Digital is getting lazy.
3- All gran turismos are like that.
4- Never heard off.
5- Doing driving licenses improves your driving skills a lot..

1 They cant race at the same time, but they can switch drivers during the race. Its better to switch since their strength goes down and they start to screw up, and they are slower.

2 PD made that decision. I dont see why thats such a big deal, if you dont want to overpower the event, dont. Not sure why it matters to you if other people do.

3 Same as #2

4 When you buy a new car the first 200 miles of driving will increase the engine power.

5 Experience.
 
For what it's worth, I can partly answer some of your questions:

2. Why is there no restrictions on seasonal events now? It's way to easy and no fun anymore because anyone can do it if they just spend loads of money instead of having to tune their cars.

My best guess is, that as most games these days, GT5 is now about getting to a high level and unlocking stuff. Years ago, games with leveling features would not be designed to let every casual gamer level up and unlock the most powerful weapons/cars/reigndeers/whatever. Now though, mainly thanks to games such as World of Warcraft, every level-based game seems to be designed to let every player get to high levels. Therefore, I think, seasonal events were included. This explains the rediculous amounts of XP and money generated from these races.

3. Why do so many of the races let you use any car? You can just go into a race with all AI using 500bhp cars and you'll have 900bhp so there's no challenge.

Again, grinding for money/xp. When leveling, I found myself trying to adjust the car for maximum competetion in the game. Maybe someone wants to race a fully tuned Audi R8 versus stock Fiat 500 - that's their choice.

5. What's the point of doing licenses?

Improving your technique as a racing driver. You'll learn a lot of valuable stuff during these licenses, almost regardless your previous experience. If not anything else, this might help you get the feel of how different cars handle in this specific game.

Hope it helped.
 
in the europa race u can set 2 driver... at extreme
other races with more drivers = endurance


the licence prizes are really low.. would say not worth to do

4. i think they mean if u run ur engine in... you get after 200-500km some little kw more...
 
Dont really mind the no restrictions in seasonal events. The events are only up for a selected amount of time. Give yourself a challenge, you dont need restrictions to tell you not to use a 1000hp minolta in an 300hp rx7 race.
