I tried to use the B spec mode to help tune a car. I figured he would produce more consistent lap times than me so it would be easier to see improvements though tuning.

I let him loose on Deep Forest at speed setting 1. After a few laps and a nice Ghost I upped he's speed to 2 and then to 3. At this point he'd fall of the track.

I now fitted race suspension and sent him out again. His lap times did not improve and he fell off on the same corners.

I tweaked the suspension, following various guides, but still no change.

Has anyone else tried this?

Is it possible to tune your car with B spec?
 
I don't think many peeps have tried it. I've seen some comments, though, by a few who think that Bob does best with stock settings. I've never tested it, myself.

Good question...
 
Bob is an enigma... he can take a totally uncontrollable ride and turn in a fast lap time, and at the same time, can take a perfectly sorted car out and just flummox it. There are some tracks he absolutely cannot drive with certain cars past the "3" setting unless they have racing tires and downforce.
 
I've done it a few times too. My hands will get tired, and I just want to see if certain tweaks will make the car faster or not. B-spec comes in handy for that.
 
How many B-Spec points does Bob have? A fresh Bob with a few points will not be good fo this but after you get him plenty of points and training in and he drives like an old pro I bet this might help, unless you are testing your Formula car on LeSarthe 2.
 
What I have noticed is that, you may find a setup that you like but that Bob hates. Now for me, that is a sign that there is still a better setup to be found.

I suggest that as you find a setup, try it with Bob,but with his speed setting
at 3. If he can't handle the car at that setting, then you need to redo your
setup.

As FoolKiller said; " A fresh Bob with a few points will not be good for this but after you get him plenty of points and training in and he drives like an old pro".

I do a lot of b-spec racing and I make sure that what ever settings That I use,
that bob can also use them and be consitant with them.
