Just noticed on one of my Bobs that his skill bars are changing from green to white/grey striped. About 3/4s full its green then from there onwards its the white/grey. All my other drivers are all green though.

Just wondering if this is normal or is it a glitch of some sort?

I've explained it the best I can I think, I can take a photo if need be :)
 
His skills are starting to degrade.
 
he's getting old. If you notice that the grey bar starts impairing your bob's performance, then you may need to retire him, as he'll never get that speed back:grumpy:
 
Make sure you grind him up to a full career bar. (500 Races) to get the trophy though.

He can be a complete moron to loose sunday cup in an X1.Even for a Bob.Bob!
 
Ah right :(, he's my favourite driver too as I've had him since I started GT5 :lol: Is there a cause for this? Or just simply he's getting old/ used up? I had noticed too when he's entering a race his strength bar isn't full either, which I'm assuming is down to the same thing?

He's at 475 wins now so once I get that trophy he's getting the sack :lol:
 
Are those all offline races? Remote races don count towards carreer.
Wins do not matter.
 
Yea all offline, maybe a handful of them are remote races but no more than 10 I would say. I use my other drivers for remote racing.

I meant 475 races not wins so I'm not too far off it now! Wins is around 425 or thereabouts, but thats irrelevant like you said.

Just a pity he's doing a Schumacher and getting slow in his old age :lol:
 
Cool.Good luck the rest of the way .
 
I've yet to understand what makes these Bobs fade away. Ive never had a bob make it past 185 races. My last retiree had only 58 races when he started to decline. Seems that even if they are new bobs if u don't use them frequently they just start to decline.
 
The in game manual actually suggests that you retire your drivers when that happens. I just cannot imagine doing that.
 
I'm yet to reach this point. I don't think I could even bare getting ride of my 4 team drivers. Their my first and they've gone through several endurance's helping each other along the way! I might cry! :( :scared:
 
I think what may have caused mine to degrade was I was putting him into the the Indy 500 endurance race on his own, which meant he was doing most of the race with his physical strength gone in a X2010. I killed Bob :( :lol:
 
Well, I noticed yesterday, I put my level 39 B Spec on a Dream Car Championship to grind for XP, I want to put it in Level 40 before he retires.

An I noticed in the last race, at the Ring, I always watch physical condition on this race, which is longer, and we started about 75% or 80% of full physical condition.
