B-spec Seasonal Spa Help!!!

[F_Filipe]

This is my setup I win 2 times with it

Buy or use your Honda Epson NSX '08
High RPM Turbo (Never change the oil)
Aerodinamic set to 40/65 (Max)
PP: 595

This should do it

If you enter the race and wait before hitting Start button the track moisture will count down from 30%. If you wait until it's 20% or less the AI cars will start on Race Hard.

Then they will pit at the end of lap 1, giving you the lead for free. Then they'll pit again on lap 7 as usual.

More people should point this out. Just be patient and wait for the track to dry up. The easy and ridiculously huge amount of money you get afterwards is more than worth it. And the best part is no babysitting required to win.

With this method, I would imagine it's impossible NOT to win this event, regardless of driver level.

i just did this today and used the '03 NSX in the OCD, with a level 35 bob. I used intermediates and never pitted. he was running very consistant lap times in the 1:40-1:32 range. I won by almost 2 minutes

Sorry sir, but that must be BS! The times are between 2:40-2:32, no way they drive in the 1 Minute region......

Best lap from my bobs was a 2:29:xxx in a TAKATA NSX with 530 HP.

I did it with the first try with the following strategy:

- it shouldn't matter which GT500 car you use
- you don't even need to tune. maybe set the top speed a little higher because of the long straights providing slipstreams.
- start on intermediates
- with a high level bob, you should be able to run him between 75-100% of the emotion bar
- use 'overtake' when he gets close to an opponent.
- the wetness-indicator will go down to 20%, then up above 40% and then come down again to something like 22%. So it doesn't really matter which tyres you use after pitting (intermediates, racing hard, or sports soft as someone suggested, although that feels like cheating to me)
- my bob's pit-light went on just before the end of lap 7. I pitted, but it's better to give him the "don't pit"-command and go another lap. Because of all the pit-confusion and cold tyres, the AI will lose at least 15 seconds on the out-lap, enabling you to pit comfortably after lap 8, not lose any time in there, and come out far in the lead, even if you weren't the lap before.

Result:
Coming in, I was less than a second in the lead. I went on intermediates also after pitting, and the result was I came out 9 seconds ahead. I was in the lead 19 seconds after lap 9 and the gap wasn't even registered anymore at the finish, because the AI was too far back. As it is, the AI's emotion bars also go down when they run on their own, so they instantly start getting slower. Which is what happens in the laps after pitting, because the field is much more spread out.

i wonder if this trick would work on the serthe?, thanks for the info, i waited and won with no problem

 

[noobs]

I used a level 10 Bob and won on Intermediates by over 30 seconds. He leveled up to 22 and won again easily. After that win he was level 25 and I used sport softs. Kept him at 75% and he lapped the last two cars.

Now it's just sport soft to not worry about pit stops and minimal attention. The same Bob is level 30 now.

Car used is Raybig NSX from NCD. Wait until water is less than 20% before starting.

 

[BobbyBRAKEaNek]

Any NSX with high rpm turbo set to 600pp, racing inter. start by pushing him until he joins the pack and you can walk off. He'll do the rest, even with the pit stops.
To me this is the best grind, la sarthe doesn't compare. "Just set it, and forget it"

 

[Crowood]

I ran the race again yesterday, with the TAKATA NSX. My bob was first after lap 5, he also laped the last to cars out of the field.......

700.000 EP and 4 Million credits in ~27 minutes, well that is nice (200% bonus)

 

[lava lamp18]

super easy:
buy an arta nsx and add hp until the car has 600 pp. start with intermediate tires, keep bob relatively cool and dont take any pit stops. you will win by a lot

 

[ZzAm]

My bob always takes a pit stop if he drives on intermediates. If I drive with Sport Softs he's just as fast and he doesn't pit.

If u don't want to watch the whole event: use sport soft tires (won this event about 15 times with the Arta NSX and stage 3 turbo).

 

[berty1979]

Is it worth mentioning that after the track has dried to 20% that going to your settings re sets it to 30%

EDIT- Might also be worth mentioning (sigh) that when you actually start the race it reverts to 30% even if you waited

 

[awd75]

Now... Go to the online dealership and buy Honda Castrol Mugen NSX... Add a stage 3 turbo ( stage 2 if you insist) take the transmission speed to somewhere around 300-310 kmh... Pit with all other cars to switch to r/h tires, or don't pit in and continue with the same tires... Easy win with the NSX

 

[C_Raccoon23]

This has happened to me twice already, but sometimes when I wait until the the tracks drys to 20%, the AI is still on Racing Intermediates. Even happened when I waited to 5%. Weird.

I appreciate this if its aimed at me but I win every time on sports softs with no pitting and no input after lap 3 👍

I noticed this too, but every time I go to track the surface water is 30% even if I wait, it doesnt actually matter because its an easy win on SS tyres. Just thought I would point it out

I think I found an exploit for B-spec Spa…only tried it one time so not sure if it works all the time. I got to the last screen before you press “Start” race (where the camera pans around and shows different angles of the race track). Rather than pushing the x button to start the race immediately like I usually do, I got up and took care of a few things around the house. When I came back to start the race I noticed the “precipitation gage” had fallen down to about 14%. I went ahead and started the race with Racing: Intermediate tires like I always do, but because the starting precipitation was so low the cpu all had on their Race: Hard tires. They all pitted at lap two to change to Racing: Intermediate tires and I took a 20 second lead into lap three. My Bob still tried to pit at lap seven (all the cpu cars pitted AGAIN!), but I kept my car on the track and won very easily. If you have a 600pp car and you don’t let your Bob get too relaxed this is a very easy grind.

 

[justmakethiswor]

Haha, after posting my OP from page one without reading all the way to this page I can see that many other people have tried it. Its worked for me two times now. I think I will try it again with the SS tires like others are suggesting!

Thanks - this enabled my Level 0 BOB to get to Level 14 by finishing reasonably well. His second race - he won.

Both times, on sports soft, max'd the downforce, and waited for 20% track moisture

The advantage is that he never asks to pit - so can be left alone whilst I get on with other things!

 

[PapaGT]

Arta NSX '00, lvl 39 bob. Start on inters, push twice at the start and leave. He will pit on lap 7 with the others for racing hards. WINS EVERY TIME WITH NO INPUT. (except the two pushes at the start).

Same here. I started with a Lvl 0 Bob and he is up to Lvl 12 now but the best I have done is 9th place and the inter are at less than 10% thread. I have not tried the waiting for the track to dry trick. I'll do that today and hopefully get a win. I need the cash . By the way I'm driving a NSX from the OCD.

The problems is that I don't know how to keep my Bob moodiness. I'm assuming to many commands will pist him off. This is my first try at B-Spec and just recently bought GT5, in other words rookie.

 

[funkyDucks]

If it helps I find it takes approx. 6 mins for the track to reach 20% moisture.

 

[viperbeatsvette]

I play the b-spec in Spa and i never win. Best place 2nd or 3rd.
which car have to select and there is a special pit stop stategy???
I try with the Toyota castrol and with the Nissan Xavani Nismo Z.
I need help!!!

i used takata dome nsx
full tune
limit engine to fit pp
max speed 300kmh in transmission

start racing intermediates
keep until driver pits on either lap 7 or 8 (depends on driver class) and switch to racing hards to finish off

with my bob i ran him on full heat constantly pressing overtake until i got to first. once i had a decent gap i made him maintain pace in middle of heat bar.

with this my bob won by over 20 seconds

 

[Sweaty Palms]

Raybrig JGTC NSX. Sports Soft Tires. Just took the lead on lap 3. No plans of pitting.

 

[XxDeathWish2011]

This setup worked for me with a Level 31 B-spec driver with basically an empty experience bar (basically a remote B-spec driver his whole life). True hands-off win -- didn't even mess with his pit stops (I let him pit at the end of the 7th lap)...

ARTA NSX '06 from the dealership

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS! I was having problems with this race but used this setup and won first time. Was in 1ST place by the middle of lap 5! Oh and i let my driver pit at the end of lap 8.

 

[elston87]

This is my gritty strategy for all of you who want to "deserve" the win manually...

I kept pacing up my Level 40 driver to a hard-boiled hothead every time he comes at the chicane and he runs right through the inside, cutting at least the length of two cars when he makes the turn. Other than that advantage point, I just watch my driver's pace and keep him going steady on the track. Started the race without letting the track dry (30% wet).

I used this mini-setup for my YellowHat GT-R:

• Stage 3 Engine tuning
• Reduce Aerodynamics (to appropriate PP level)

Started the race with Racing: Intermediate and won. Just ignore the pit stop when the indicator flashes, and you'll win. You may grit your teeth when either the NSX or another GT-R closes in on your lead, but no need to worry, as they cool off rather quickly because of their gaps between each other, giving your driver plenty of leeway to take home the checkered flag.

Your rear tires will be all worn out by the end of the race (almost to the point of completely losing all traction), but he still takes the win.

I did this about three times already, and it's worked well; not forgetting to mention that my driver was "out of it" for racing (the "pointing downward red arrow"), and yet he still won. Try it!

hi all, do i need the dlc in order to compete on this race ?
I've tried joining it but the loading seems to have no end

 

[lagunacat]

Mobil 1 NSX. Wins everytime.

It work's without buying DLC

 

[lagunacat]

Anybody still having problems with this race get a Mobil 1 NSX. I have a set-up and strategy that has my level 30 Bob winning by about 50 secs and turning 2:36-37 laps. Easy $4mil. every time.
