Speaking proper english would help us understand you.
What is the mode set on when you're racing him? The higher the mode, the more he'll push.(I.E: on 3, he'll slow down quite a bit compared to 5, where he'll pin the needle untill he loses control.)

Are you using Nitrous to reach the 420kph?

I have had similar experience with a Nissan group C car at this track.
B spec driver only did around 335 km/h when I had it set up for 400 +.
It does not matter what the speed setting is either.
I had 7000 Bspec points so I think it is not skill related.
I think it has something to do with the bumps on the track.

Yeah, The B-spec driver will only go fast enough to control. This means that if he deems the track to be unsafe for those speeds, he'll tone it down.
I can't think of a way to correct it.

Yer that happened to me not in on the Le Mans but the Super Speedway Endro i ended up doing Super Speedway on A-Spec and havent attemped Le Mans again
I know this is off topic but is it just me or when you try Super Speeday Endro in a half decent car it hits the wall slowing you down???

this is something i was trying to test, and i feel i have found an answer to satisfy myself.
i was having trouble with the bspec driver on the OPEL speedster event. i beat all the events except for one of them out of the 5. i needed to go faster, he wasnt doing it regardless of how i setup the tranny... softer tires helped alittle bit, but still no huge improvement.
so i went on a quest to raise my bspec skills. i had some pritty bad skills when i started... so i rased them alot, course skills, and machine skills, im not sure which one will have the effect, im guessing BOTH are needed, but am not certain.
but with 99 machine skill points, and around 80+ course points i was able to increase the speed. i didnt check at each incrament, so i cant say at what score will make an improvement, so its going to take some testing to do so, and im not doing it
no memory card yet 
i hate not getting my fill.
it has to also do with the tune of the car too... so it seems, it has to be stable on the course like someone said above. when the bspec scores are higher they are more stable, but also a good tune will help ALOT!!!!! i cant stress that enough.... if he can corner very well he will go faster very well, that is with a higher bspec skill.
i havent got the bspec driver to a TOP speed, but he does improve, i havent got 100, 100, 100 yet, and i dont really plan to get that score, but i want to learn as much as i can.
some tips to take are to dissable the OVERTAKE option... this will make your drivers line less confusing and more stable. basically it will take the correct line, instead of going wherever to pass people.
i know this works because i tried it first hand... if anyone can prove me wrong then try it, but i have done proper testing and i can reproduce it if need be (dont think i have to tho).
i belive PUSH is usually faster but i usually keep him on FAST (4) after gaining first place... and if the turns are hard to turn on a certain course at a faster speed then i choose a lower number 3 or 2 after gaining first possition.
good luck guys... a good range of bspec skills to get are 80 points for each skills, thats good for beating the game i belive, no need to train much higher than that.

hey if its wrong you can yell at me, but from testing it out it seems to work for me, and i repeat and still works.
you may need to tune the car tho, it will keep better control and the tranny settings will also allow for faster accel or max speed depending on how you tune it.
when i first tested with 50 and 60's it wasnt going very fast then raise it to 70's it went slightly faster and then i was able to beat anything in no time with higher than that... the raise in battle skills also helps alot, because if your having problems passing people that will help alot.

This isn't a problem, this is normal. It doesn't matter wich car or how much hp you use, your B-spec. will gain less top speed then you, also it doesn't matter wether it's 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 on the straits, he will gain as much top speed on 1 as on 5.
BTW: Try to change your settings, that may help getting him a bit faster down the straits 👍
Cheers,
One thing that I have noticed with both the AI cars and B-Spec bob (this is on circuit de la sarthe) that they will only got to about 335-340 max and no higher. Yes the car is capable of going higher, but the AI simply wont go above that. I have started doing the sarthe 1 enduro aspec and going down the back straight is where i noticed this behavior of the AI.
Though interesting the AI cars when you are a-specing dont crash in to the walls for no reason like the b-spec driver does.

falcon500, would you mind typing properly in future? It really doesn't take much more effort to type full words. Bear in mind that many people who use these forums may not have English as their first language, hence why people are urged to use proper spelling and grammar in their posts.
Thanks, TM

This is not a problem.
If you watch your B-spec driver * driving in Circuit de La Sarthe or at any track that has super long section without turns, you will see that at high speeds (320+km/h) the car shakes a lot (altought when you're racing in a-spec it doesn't
), and more... he goes at that speed to preserve the tires (if you go at 360~380 km/h the tires will have to be changed 1 or 2 laps sooner)
This is my theorie
Fell free to disagree, altought I believe in my theorie
because to me it makes cense
*my b-spec driver name is Brutos because is as inteligent as a brick wall altought he does the job (skills:88/73/73 )

As has been stated in other threads regarding this subject, B-Spec points make no difference to top speed on tracks like Nurburging and Sarhte. One thing that i have noticed when I have been watching (in real time b-spec mode) is that, as stated previously that the car is not stable at high speeds on these tracks that the b-spec driver is constantly steering from side to side (for no reason) trying to keep the car straight. With this in mind and you have a slightly over powered car sitting low to the ground while going over a bump area (this is especially true on Sarthe) that the b-spec driver will just suddely veere off into the wall.

Hey, I know how to increase B-Spec top speed speed at Le Mans
Soften up the suspension to 8.0 and 8.0
than put the shocks at 5 everywhere, bound and rebound
With similiar settings I achieved 225 mph (362 KPH) with a Toyota TS020LM on Circuit De La Sarthe 1 (stock horsepower, b-spec, no draft, max downforce)
I havent played the game in a while so these settings may be a bit off. I will load it up in the next few days to be for sure
