Hi, i got the game on release day, since then i have been trying to keep my A and B spec levels the same. Today i hit B-Spec level 25 and unlocked my 1st endurance race. you need 4 drivers in order to compete, luckily this wasnt a problem for me. So i start the race which is 60 laps at grand valley.. 2hours+ later i win.... So at this stage im thinking 'sweet my hard work levelling B-Spec has finally paid off and i can start making some decent money.' to my horror and rage all mixe into a strange emotion the prize money was a pitiful $27000 credits... yep 27k.....and the car i got can only be described as a cruel joke. The only bright side to this story was i got half a level worth of XP but what good is xp when all it does is unlock more endurance that pays next to nothin...??? in contrast to the 60laps worth 27k at grand valley, you can do 6 laps of the high speed ring for 30K+ (lvl 17 turbo challenge)... is this some massive oversight by PD or what? i just cant possibly fathom why they have done this
 
I understand, felt the same thing. I thought it was a bug at first and it was supposed to be 270k!

But the next b-spec endurances prizes money coinfirmed the trend unfortunately. The xp became decent starting with laguna seca endurance though, so this could be a way to 'unlock' lvl 30 feature without much to do, other than waiting...
 
I know some people love it but I just dont understand the whole concept.

Why would you want a racing game where someone else is doing the driving.

Other than earning money , its utterly pointless in my opinion.
 
I want both A-spec and B-spec to be part of the Endurance race at the same time, just like in GT4.

I agree, that was fun. I had some nice endurance races in GT4 with Bob as the second driver.


The whole reward system needs to be redesigned too.
The one in GT4 worked absolutely fine (good price money and the possibility to win cars more than once) but for some reason PD thought it would be a good idea to change it to a frustrating system. No clue why.
