I just increased to level 37 this morning. The grind from 36 to 37 was intense.
And since the gaps continue to grow, I can't imagine how much I still have left to do.
I pretty much have B-Spec running 24-7 now, except when I play some A-Spec.
I start the Tsukuba 9 hour race every night before I go to bed and then again when I wake up.
I ran the 24 hours of Le Mans when it become available, but I only ran it that once, because I actually like to use the game at some point in the day!
I didn't really start this constant grind until mid-December, so I think it is possible for folks to be level 40 if they have been grinding this since release.
 
just got to 40 this morning. wont run the 24 hour nurburgring race until saturday though as i will be out then.
 
37-39 are a pain.
39-40 not so much.
I'm @ 39 very close to busting 40.
I've said in several threads: Dream Car Championship during the day.Points + credits.
Nurburgring 4hr over night. Points
Throw in a couple of Indy 500's and I've gone from 38-40 in a week.
 
Working on lvl 38 running Le Mans as we speak. Should get to lvl 40 sometime next week if my ps3 holds out. Its been on for almost 3 weeks non-stop grinding B-spec enduros (and a few A-spec Seasonal events when I am home and not sleeping :))
 
I think that I calculated that to get to level 40 from 35 you needed to do 11 24h le Mans races. I'm now at level 39 and have 2 races and a bit left.

I have a question for those of you in the upper 30s. Are you getting grey and white bars at the end of the green attribute bars for your drivers. My older drivers are getting this and I'm wondering if it is a signal that their skills are decreasing.

yup. my one driver with some 450 races under his belt has this. if you take a look at the start of a race with him, his strength drops off very quickly (before the first lap is complete) to a little over 3/4 full. probably has some effect for close races as he will be tired early and make mistakes if you push him for too long, but aside from that, doesnt make much of a difference.
 
^ I have only one Bspec driver at lvl 40. He is almost maxed out on all the "green bars" and doesn't seem to be losing anything yet. But I started a new guy now (who is already lvl34) so i doubt I'll ever see any degradation.

Edit: Maybe it has to do with the experience bar. My lvl 40 guy is only about 60-70% on experience.
 
think it depends on experience.

my roster;

the first driver ive had since the game came out...
 
My level 38 driver with the most drop off has a full experience bar (received the trophy for it) so an experience based dropoff makes sense.

It being on 24/7 is better than turning it on and off every couple of hours. As long as it's in a well ventilated area, you have nothing to worry about.
 
im on lv 33 b-spec atm doing the nurburg 4 hour while at home and just did the tsukuba 9 hour while at work won by 23 laps will be doing it every day except monday when i get to get to 35 i will not b-spec on monday's so i can leave my drivers at it the rest of the week, doing the 24 hour races. Should get me too 40 by the end of the month.
 
Well you get a trophy when you get your Bob to the "Peak" of his career, it really isn't a stretch to assume that he's skills will taper off as he ages just like a real racer.

Unrelated.
@eSZee : Seeing your PSN disco_potato reminded me to the good old days of reading Sport Compact Car. Awesome.

Hahaha. Thanks. I would've thought that more people would comment on it, given the nature of the forum, but no one does.
 
lvl 40 last week, but all my drivers are lvl36-39, as you may know once you hit lvl 40 - none of your drivers will actually hit lvl 40 themselves, think its something to do with me having 6 drivers and using them al over the place in no particular order. you still earn money but no more xp, I wonder if i deleted all my drivers and started again with just say 3 drivers, would they then reach lvl 40?.

Update: I just deleted one of my lvl36 drivers, got a new one and he's levelling up nicely, currently at lvl 20 doing the dreamcar championship, he's only on the 4th race too!

...and is there a reason why you can't throw your lvl 36 bobs into the lvl 40 endurance race a few times, and watch them level up towards 40... instead of throwing a lvl 0 bob into a lvl 24 race.. if the goal is to get a lvl 40 bob...

I am not certain what you are describing since post Number 10 in this very thread has a screen shot showing a Class 40 driver. I just got to Level 40 in B-Spec, and two of my three drivers are Class 40 as well. I haven't run a single race since I reached B-Spec Level 40, so I believe that you are stating that my third driver may not be able to reach Class 40...because he won't gain any more experience????

I plan to use this third driver in the Nurburgring 24 Hour in a day or so, so I'll find out more about it then.
 
Oh man a long time ago. According to my trophy it was on Jan 7. All I can say is I'm happy to see its over with. The trip from 35-40 was a nightmare. :scared::crazy::ouch::yuck::guilty: My PS3 was never off and ran 24/7 for over a month.

Sorry, I wasnt being clear, i'll try and explain what i meant.
Like everyone here we all started on one driver, as we progress we are able to have more drivers the more xp we had.
Where I went wrong(i think) I managed to get 6 drivers-but wasnt consistent in their use, so I think whats happened is the b spec has added up the combined xp of all six drivers and levelled me up to 40 even though all my drivers (at the time ) we're only between lvl35-39.
Now maybe the latest 1.06 update has messed with my bobs, because since the update all my drivers no longer gain xp, they earn money for races but when the xp accumulator thing pops up after a race it says lvl 40(me)where as bobs get nothing, no xp at all. So they are all stuck at lvl 35-39.
Its only the new bob is updating normally, Im guessing the update screwed with the old boys and froze them in time.
I really hope that made sense coz my brain is killing me right now.

👍👍👍 I will be there in a few days time. I still need many races for the Air of experience though. Its nicer now that the Le Mans race is almost 3,000,000 xp a shot rather than 2,200,000

What do you do to have that much of experience with so little races?

I have almost 350 races won and the bar is halfway there.

Abuse Bob, I did the first three endurance race with just one Bob and seen all of his stats jump up a lot. Then for giggles, I made O.Beard, R.Kojima, & F.Massa do the 24 hour of Le Mans each by them self, no other driver.:dopey:
