Any way to race your own Bob's?

I thought of this idea before, but never shared it...
It would be a great challenge when you are level 40 and one of your Bobs is level 40...
3 Head to Head races. One of them would be FGT at Suzuka without any aids :D

But no, you cannot race against them now... Well, sort of. I had one of my Bob's 'brother' racing with me in A-Spec.
 
You could race their times, I guess. Besides, if you were on the track, who'd tell them to pace up/down/overtake? Get some space and the drivers would all cool down. Too easy!
 
yeah it would be ace. Regarding the pacing options for them, they could do it so they drive as aggressively as they could based on their stats (Cornering, braking ect) meaning that if i raced my lvl 34 bob he'd be pretty quick compared with one of my bobs who are in the 20's.

I heard they are making an online function for them, so surely if they can do that we may be able to race them in net games?

Not to mention, having the ability to race 6 of your own Bob's would create a bit of incentive for having 6 lvl 40 bobs, so you could have them all in the same race against you.
 
Would be a neat feature, although they're basically just a.i. that sort of responds to your commands when they feel like.

Better idea would be a sort of doppelganger race, where the game has kept track of your driving style as you've played and it would emulate you in the a.i.

I'm interested to see what b-spec online will consist of though, seems sort of weird but I dunno.
 
I think it'd depend on the type of race. Given equal equipment, Bob will make far fewer mistakes than a human driver at the same level. I don't know how many people could really compete with their Bobs on the Sarthe, at night, in the rain for 50 laps. I couldn't. After all, all the AI in the game are some programmer's Bob.

Yeah i agree, my bob on full aggression on that track in the x1 is like watching Tron go round the track. That's why it would be so cool to race vs them. People complain about the IA being sub-par, but to be honest those people are racing 500h cars in x1's or 700+ hp cars. If you race them with the same car they are quite good over longer periods, say 16-20 laps which most real races are.

I still think the AI could do with a bit more aggression, but i think the whole Bspec vs Aspec would be a nice little feature, and from what i can tell, relatively easy to implement.
 
I agree with you about somehow integrating A and B-specs. It would be great to be able to "carry" a Bob to the Arcade or Practice mode; and it's already been suggested that we be able to use our Bobs in our own A-spec enduros. All would be super cool, but I have the feeling that PD might want to make that GT6 :). As far as Bob's driving, sometimes I chuckle because almost everyone --including myself-- hates the FGT Championship when we see the AI screaming away from us.
 
Yeah but it would be so easy to do this in a patch, and to be honest, there is no incentive to have 6 lvl 40 bobs as one can do the 24 hr endurance races on his own. Give us incentive PD!
