Does these races counts towards the drivers (b-spec) career status? I am trying to get the Trophy where you have to get a Driver to his end of his career. Is there any quick ways to obtain this? He's about halfway trough his career btw.
 
Unfortunately like a lot of things in GT this is heavily flawed and probably untested, the only way to get a driver to the end of his career is grinding, a lot. There is no other way around it, I believe he has to take part in 500 races. The quickest way is to repeat the Sunday cup over and over and over. and over. and over.
 
lol thanks guys, I will grind the sunday cup with the x1 and sometimes the b-spec races in the Seasonal events for some extra credits.
 
Yea thats what I thought too, wich made me think if the Seasonal did or not. But thanks for your reply tho!
 
It did not take 500 races for one of my Bob's. It is the carrier bar that is the deciding factor for the trophy. Mine only took 390 races or so. Grinding the Sunday Cup, but also finishing alot of the B-Spec races.

Working on another account to get this trophy. Grinding the Sunday Cup 2 times a day now.
 
It's 500 in game days then, I'm sure it's 500...something. Well whatever it is it still needs grinding. A logical game developer or one that actually put time into it would have made it so that the driver completed his career after winning every B-Spec race. But not PD, clearly.
 
I thought I had read that the career experience bar goes up anytime a B-Spec race is held while the driver is offline - even if he is not in the race at all. If true, that would mean that a driver could fill his bar with substantially less than 500 races in his stats. But you'll still have to run the 500(or however too many you have to run) anyway, it will just be his profile that shows different.

If that is the case... I wonder if it would be possible to get the trophy with a driver who's never driven a race at all?

This is probably the most definitive thread on the subject.

No the drivers career experience bar doesnt goes up without any races, it will only go up by a little after each race. Now, the question is, will it go up more if he's racing a 10 lap race then doing 4 laps in the sunday cup?

I also think that some of you are right with the 500 something, wich I think will be about 500 races, winning or not dosnt matter.

Best way should then be the sunday cup in a X1. My driver with the most experience is halfway trough his career, wich then should be around 250 races to enter. If I spend 1 hour a day, grinding the sunday cup wich should give me at least 20 entries, I should get the trophy in about 10 days.
 
I only reported what I remembered reading multiple times from people who have spent a lot of time studying this issue. I then very quickly found and linked to the thread which clearly states that my memory was correct(It's right on the front page of the B-Spec forum).

Here it is in more obvious form in case my first link doesn't show up correctly: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=234719

You don't have to believe me, but if you wish to disagree with someone, that thread would be the best place to take any evidence you have to the contrary(since my knowledge is second-hand). It would also be the best place to find the answer to your question(which apparently is no, there is no difference between a short or long race to the experience bar - each race run is one "race day" for all of your offline drivers) or any others about the subject.

It seems there is some disagreement over whether or not seasonal races count. Remote races don't count(that part even I know from experience).

Famine somewhat hinted at it but I'm not entierely sure he meant to explicitly state that my hypothetical of a completely inexperienced driver being able to get the trophy for you is possible. In order to do that you would of course have to retire at least one driver so that the one who had never raced had the most experience. I would expect that it should work unless you have to have him run one race to get the bar to begin filling.

Pretty certain it's irrelevant the length, it's just a race. That's why it goes up the same tiny amount after a 24 race.
