:ouch:I just wanted some input on this one. We all know a good tune makes all the difference in A-Spec but does it alter Bobs driving tempo in B-Spec much?? Also the whole performance based on which car you chose has me puzzled? Example: I chose a fully modded R32 v-spec II with about @400bhp for the Grand Valley 300k. Enough to make it comfortable you'd think. So I set Bob in motion and came back 1-1/2hrs later to find him in 3rd, @9secs behind!!! I had to then babysit him bk to 1st and into a lead and left it again and thankfully he(actually, they, I chose 3 bobs!) won!! Not ideal!! So I decide to run the race again with the Zonda R, and the bobs win by 4 laps!! I try again using the Toyota 7, same result, 4 lap win. But this is where it gets interesting. I ran the race yest using the Mazda Furai, a LOT less power than the Toyota, not much in it weight wise and I won by 6laps!!!????? Go figure?? Thoughts anyone??

Well with fast cars, the Bobs will get bored and will be in the blue for most of the race unless lapping people. So they will win but won't lap very fast in comparison to being babysat.

The Furai is incredibly light and nimble, this is why it can win against more powerful and heavy cars.

You miss my point somewhat. I kno that a babysat bob will be quicker than an unattended one but he will always stay in the extreme blue when far enough in front regardless of what car he's driving. So it stands to reason, the quicker the car, the quicker the laps and as the Toyota 7 has a far greater power-weight ratio than the Furai, then bob should be quicker. But he ain't!!! The whole point of B-spec endurance is that you setup and walk away. Im just confused as to why Bob needs such a vastly overpowered car to win unattended. Surely his pace unattended should be on a par with the AI drivers:-S

Power to weight is not everything my friend.
