I was the same as the O.P. but then I remembered, I've finished every other GT game, why should I stop now? Sure it's boring, but it does contribute to your overall completion percentage, the driver does kind of get better and I can just do other things around the house, so the wife is happy :p

They key to B-Spec is not doing it right away. Do A-spec first and get yourself some great cars, then your driver will will win easily. My drivers have a record of like 400-7 combined or something crazy.

It's really easy once you get 2 driver races to get more good B-spec drivers. I can get a driver from level 0 to 8 or 9 in one race.

That is exactly what I did. after I won the series... I use the same exact car for b spec. I had to power up a couple but It didn't cost me to much. For example during the Daytona truck challenge I only added all the exhaust parts and a fully adjustable transmission as the truck would top out.
 
I take it Bob gets better after the first few races? Cause I have not idea what I'm doing with B Spec. lol! I must have pressed overtake too many times to piss him off! He's a little bitch for crashing my car though!! :ouch:

Any tips would be greatful as i've kinda run out of passion with A-Spec for the moment.
 
Haven't started B-Spec yet. Currently lvl20 A-Spec.

Stupid question but can you use your current cars for B-Spec?

Good luck getting it at A-spec lvl 30... I can't even get close to getting bronze on the Vettel challenges =/.

That's why I'm getting B-spec to 35 ASAP lol
 
level 23 B-spec level 22 A-spec.
I recently downloaded Minecraft on my PC so I have B-spec bob grinding away when I play Minecraft. You win some really excellent cars from b-spec races, Zonda R, Toyota 7, Mazda Furai, plus it's easy money to let bob grind while your doing something else.
 
I hate it, especially since there's no way to speed up the time, like in GT4...

Only doing it to get some free cars, other than that, I can't stand it.

I'm at level 1 B-Spec and can't bring myself to play it. It's just too boring to have to sit there and just watch. I can't imagine how bad it must be when you have to do the endurance races.

Anybody else?

Yep, same here. I think it has its place though. I have friends that had never considered a driving game before, but when they saw b-spec on GT4 they bought it because it became more accessible and more of an RPG for them. Each to their own...

The series are the same in both A & B modes. So you can use whatever car you want, as long as they fit the guidelines for that specific series.

The only real difference between the modes is tire restrictions - most B-spec modes only allow for racing-hard at the most, whereas A-spec doesn't have tire restrictions.

Yes, you can. You even get to keep the winning and prize cars the B-spec Bob earns. It's kind of a raw deal for him. ;)

No problem. It will be nice once B-Spec is available to do online. Still not sure how that's going to work yet though.

I don't even think I had to buy any additional cars for the B-Spec drivers to use, I just made them use the cars that I used in my events. Of course, I generally souped mine up before I raced them ;)

You honestly don't even need to mess with pit strategy. The drivers will pit automatically when they are low on gas or need new tires.

If you are in a long endurance race, and you have the strategy set so that the drivers will pit at 10%, they may end up pitting every lap or 2 if they have not yet recovered their strength.
 
I play B-Spec for the money and cars I could use in A-Spec. Additionally, I really don't care much for the License events and Special events, B-Spec gives me a chance of attaining the X1 (at level 35 if I'm not mistaking). I will admit that B-Spec is simultaneously boring and frustrating (sometimes), but I like the idea of progressing in the game while I'm busy dealing more important things.
 
No you're not.I have not even when into B-Spec since i've bought the game.Just seems boring to tell a guy what to do and just sit there and watch.
 
I wasn't planning on using Bob, but my wife put my wheel away the other day and when I got a free hour to play I just did B-spec instead of spending a few precious minutes setting the wheel back up... or I was just lazy.
