Only one of mine had the up arrow, so I had him do a 9 hr by himself just now... He still has the blue up arrow! LOL!


Seein if anyone has done that on a 24 or not. I thought Bob might pass out after 12hrs or so but ya never know :p
 
I don't think Bob really cares at all. I goofed grinding today and put him in an FGT in the Le Mans 24hr. Right now it's pouring rain,in the middle of the night,in an open cockpit car,with no freakin headlights! 228mph down the back straight like nothing.

Your Bob will be fine !!!!
 
I wouldn't worry about the arrows at all, I've raced my Bob's to the bone regardless of what their arrow says and performance never seems to be an issue.
 
Good to hear that. At least bob can finish it for b-spec. Waiting for save feature in the a-spec. it is ridiculous to drive 24hr straight.
 
The only thing Bob Johnson can do is swiffer all around a long straight. Even with a high experience level. Level 10, he still swiffers like he was still a freshman.

Does your Bob gain more EXP if he doesn't have team mates in an endurance??

ROFL!!!!

Hot Bobs all the way FTW.
 
after lvl 40 you will need to pick a new Bob if you want to keep grinding. Once the trophy unlocks, Bob starts losing races and falls very behind.
 
So Bob is actually Stig in disguise?

Some say he was tortured in a 24hr race, others say he was born with a wheel in hand, all we know is he's B-spec Bob!

Can you give a bit more details on this?

you mean that a lvl 40 is a worthless Bob?
 
There is a 4hr driver time clock.
I've gone over by a few minutes in both A & B Spec without problems.
Not sure what happens if you go much more.
I've been running 1 Bob on Nurburgring and Indy endurance races
repetitively for days with a problem.
But he's driving the X1.
As far as him getting slower @ L40, in driver profile, he's 40.
But in racing, due to him sharing races with other Bob's he's L38.
He's actually getting stronger, and not wanting to pit as often.
The arrows are useless.
They will be down before a race, and up or neutral afterward.

I am up to Bspec 27 and have only used one bob so far, I am going to find out whether you can do bspec with one bob.

His longest race so far is 4 hours and both his 'energy' bars were empty after about an hour, yet he still drove fine thereafter with no interruption from myself. In fact one time when I checked later in the race he was only 2 secs off his fastest lap. It makes me wonder what those 'energy' bars actually do... maybe Bob does become the virtual robot in a long race.
 
It's been gone over many times already. Search is too much a chore I guess. You can do a 24hour race with one Bob. Those arrows and his strength bars mean nothing right now. He drives just the same regardless. I think the arrows are a timing thing, because they all change on their own. The arrow can be pointing down when I start using Bob and be pointing up while he has been driving with no rest. Also, letting them rest doesn't change the arrow any faster and it doesn't matter..yet?....anyway.

Yes, because the Bobs share the total XP of the race between them regardless of the proportion of each race run by each Bob.

Bobs level up faster than you do too, so you'll be able to get a Bob to L40 much more easily than getting there yourself.
 
In the 24 hr LeMans Bob uses 2 other buddies that switch out during pit stops which come fairly often as gas consumption is high.
I never pay attention to the arrows and my Bobs drive without a problem when their strength has run out.
 
I learnt something...I sent my Bob to win the Japanese car event in extreme...and despite having a superior car (787b stealth)...he led until the penultimate lap, where he got overtaken, and finished 6th :(.

I thought perhaps he was so tired, he practically died at the wheel...I tried it again, keeping an eye on proceedings. I think it must have just been the tires that became unmanageable...and he was in the rain, so he had to be uber careful and consequently lost...because this time, I watched him, and he was winning easily (not in the rain).

As with last time, he lost all physical and mental strength by about lap 13/30...but his performance only dropped when I let his bar stay cool. He tried to pit at about lap 26..I said no. He proceeded to spin out 3 times that following lap and lose half a lap's lead. So naturally I let him pit the next time and he won with his new tyres.

So when it came down to it...despite having no engery physically or mentally for more than half the race, his performance only really dropped when the tyres were shot...and he tried to rectify that himself...so I think as long as your driver is able to respond when the pack innevitably catches him after going too slow for too long and fight again, he would have no problem doing an entire race himself.

However, I'm training a second racer who's gaining levels quickly.
