Having trouble on B-spec races with 2 or more drivers.

[hot_cheese]

My B-spec drivers are level 22 and level 10. For some odd reason, on 20 laps races, my driver will run out of strength faster than any other races. After 3rd pit stop, both drivers will run out of strength almost every lap... Is there a way around this? they kept pitting everything lap and I end up losing the race...

Take off the option of them pitting at 10%. I run mine for quite a while when they have no strength left with no dramatic drop off in speed. Wait untill either you need fuel or tyres instead.

Yep turn off the option and wait until the 1/2 way point in the race or a little longer if your starting driver has more strengh than the other and then tell him to pit. Should not be a problem.

Just leave the pit strategy option off as previously mentioned and your cars will only pit when either tires or fuel are at very low levels.

My Bobs still drive fine when strength and health are no longer visable but if you are watching Bob may take a little longer to pass a lapped car when he is tired.

I have found that using the endurance race to level up new Bobs works great. On the four hour Mazda race just give Bob a fully tuned rx7 that is faster than the competition and what I have done is plug a good level Bob into the first driving slot and the last driving slot and put brand new never raced before level 0 Bobs into the middle slots.

You will still win the race by 11 laps or so even with totally inexperienced drivers filling a couple of slots, what could be easier?

Even the level 0 Bobs are turning laps like 5 seconds a lap faster than the competition and after 1 driving stint for each racer at the end of the race your new level 0 Bobs will be at level 16 after just one event.

Easiest way I have found to level up new drivers quickly.

I noticed that my drivers want to pit every lap and I have the Pit Stop strength level turned off. I need to manually cancel the pit stop every lap.

im going to try doing a 24hr race with a level 0 bob and see what level he jumps to lol

from 0-25 most likely after one race haha

That generally means that you have the wrong tires on the car rain/intermediate/race

I do it on the indy 500, had a level 7 bob shoot up to 27 after one indy. Pretty much use ovals to level all my new bobs.

Hmmm, I didn't realize that. But I am racing a 30 lap race at Suzuka Circuit in the rain with rain tires but the game want me to put on racing hard tires. It is rather funny though because I think the competition received racing hard tires after their first pit stop because they couldn't could keep their cars on the track after they pitted.

It was a easy win. 👍

As others have suggested, turn the pitting inclination thing to off, when you manually pit or it forces a pit because your tyres are shot or fuel is low, it will change to your other driver unless you tell it otherwise.

I hear you on the point that they seem to run out of strength faster though, on very long races I keep having to swap them over 4 pits or so and usually they haven't got much of their strength back, but you can usually safely run them for a while with no strength.

I've resisted upgrading my GT 5 for some time, but finally I did - Jumped versions 1.03 to 1.10.

first thing i noticed is that my level 22 Bob runs out of energy faster than this morning. Case in point: Bspec Euro Championships - Monza circuit.

All things equal - same Pagani Zonda R, same drivers, same setup.

Before the upgrade, I was doing 11 laps easily with Bob 22, but just now, he runs out of steam at the 9th lap!

My level 6 Bob is at half strength after just one lap.
