What car for new B-spec online races?

[diptob79]

Used Lamborghini Miura, and my bob just cruising around to finish line, no input needed lol

 

[doodooshorts]

i just use the Suzuki GSX-R/4 concept for the first two and whatever ya want on the third. (but i use the 2j racecar '70) dont have to touch any but i have good bobs

 

[doodooshorts]

Also.....if you dont have the gsx, use the lotus elise 111r. its just a hair different in time but still wins without input. use for both 400 and 500

 

[Gazumagi]

If you have one, de-tune a GT300 car (just use power limiter, shouldn't take too much to bring it to 500)

EZPZ

Close 400 race, if you have the DLC, a power-limited CR-Z since it dominates in turns but the long straights allow the lead handful to get a nice advantage... Needed to do a handful of overtakes/paceups in this one.

650, ballasted Furai so that it was at 50-50 weight distribution. Got lead several laps before the finsih

 

[Killer Cobra]

I used
CELICA GT-FOUR RC (ST185) '91 - High speed
California '08 - Rome
Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car '89 - R246

Won first time with a level 31 driver on each but put power limiters on for all of them i think?

 

[Madhouse]

I used a BMW 2002 Turbo for the first two, detuned for the 400pp and get 470pp ish fully specced. Suspension, diff etc tuned by me, drivers are lvl 30 and above and don't require much input at all.

Can't remember what I used for the 650pp one, think it was a 90's GTR race car of some sort.

 

[berty1979]

I used the VX220T for Rome, won easily with no prodding

 

[Aquila76]

400: Toyota Vitz. Odd choice, sure, but it was the first car i bought for A-Spec and it is ludicrously tuned.

500: I think I did this with a tuned Subaru Impreza STI.

650: Pagani Zonda LM Race Car Only time I have trouble is with the 2J on the pole. Even then I usually pull into 1st by mid-9th lap.

 

[axletramp]

400: Alfa Romeo 147 TI 2.0 Twin Spark '06 - I've had this lightened and tuned for ages, so just went with it.
500: Peugeot 206 WRC '99 - Stock + RH tyres.
650: Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept '00 - Stock + RH tyres, but the rabbit cars were very quick.

BOB: C.Bass - hot lvl 38.

Who the 🤬 needs a b-Spec seasonal???

There is no challenge at all. And I am not able to do the b-Spec seasonal because all my drivers are shared online & I don't want to cash them out. Not to forget the driver performance bar will go down if I do that.

Better bring on some Eiger rally & drifting events. 👍

 

[crool]

jeez, chaparral 2J took first place on lap 2 and didn't look back.

pagani zonda R '09 also won, although not nearly as easy.

has anyone done the math - are these races better than other B-spec races for cash/XP?

I have used several cars for this B-spec race, without any push. But it seems that if in the race there is any Chaparral 2J or the BMW Maclaren Race car , you must "push" your Bob.
So what i do to earn easy money, if i see when the race starts any of theese two cars, i simply retire from the race and i'm trying again.
The win then is too simple , so i'm able to collect a lot of cash just pressing x...x.....x.... to start the next race.

I can't comment in regards to XP as my driver's at 40 already, but the cash is good, especially the last race at max bonus. I get $440K each time at the cost of about 12 minutes.

 

[ScouserInExile]

Just remembered what I used for the 500pp race: a Countach 25th Anniversary Edition

 

[DixonFan]

400 - Mazda6 (same as my car though I have the base model 2.0 Wagon/Estate not the fancy pants 2.5 liftback).
500 - tuned '90 Mazda RX7.
650 - Old Faithful, the Enzo I was using on the La Sarthe Ferrari seasonal.

Cars were chosen as being closest to PP limit without having to de-tune via HP limiter. First two were pretty easy but the third I had to push Bob (cool lvl 36) all the way, overtook the lead car (McLaren race car) at the end of lap 9.

 

[werty_56-1]

i cant win the 650 pp cuz off the 🤬 mclaren f1 LM

 

[NCRthree]

500 pp is a cinch w/ the Ferrari 512. Completely stock w/ oil change. No prodding needed. Easy money.

I could care less about this being challenging or BSpec in general. Just want to finish collecting up some high dollar cars. Thanks PD for some serious slacker cash!

 

[aland18]

just make sure you use the right tires for the last race - for the longest time I kept wondering why I could only get second place - come to find out it was my sports hards!

 

[MasterLeaf]

500PP: RUF RGT
650PP: Chapparal 2J

Takes a lot more than 12 min in a Chapparal to do the 650pp Tokyo race
- approx 16min
- 440k cr
- 75k xp
- fastest lap in Chapparal 2J in 1:33.xx


for grinding the best race is 500pp Rome race
- approx 7 min
- 340k cr
- 44k xp
- fastest lap in RUF Yellowbird in 1:21.xx

basically you can do 2 Rome races in the time it takes you to do 1 Tokyo race (680k cr / 88k xp Vs. 440k cr / 75k xp). also grinding a Chapparal 2J to death can be costly exercise if you factor in rebuild/overhaul costs

* (with 200% bonus / lvl 40 bob with no micromanaging / cars to max pp allowed)

 

[Sick Cylinder]

400pp - Delorean - easy wins with no prompts - and what a great exhaust sound, plus very squeally tyres on the corners
Also easy wins with Honda CR - Z

500pp - Countach 25th anniversary - easy
Also easy wins with Art Garaiya, entertaining wins with detuned Shelby Cobra and a struggle with tuned BMW Z4

650pp - tuned Enzo Ferrari a struggle - crazy fast on the straights, but slow on the corners.
Furai Concept easy wins unless 2J or GTR in which case occasional prompts for the last four laps.

personally I've really enjoyed this seasonal and I hope they do some more.

 

[twitchski]

I still like my power limited team oreca viper for the 650. ~16 mins w/o any interaction from me. Doesn't matter the driver type, and my 23+ drivers all fair well.

500pp grind works well, though I should try my yellowbird here too.

 

[SkierPS3]

For the rome I used a stock 8C competizione (however it's spelled). Pretty easy win.

 

[supra725]

I used an civic for the 400 pp, followed by the sti for the 500 pp and zr1 RM for the 650 pp

 

[AudioSpark]

Why is it my bob seems to be a complete tit when it comes to this race? He always, ALWAYS, finishes third. HALP!

 

[caffeine4130]

I used a fully tuned Shulze edition GT-R with my lvl 28 bob. Overtook the McLaren race car on lap 9, tricky stuff. Used a 430 Scuderia with an oil change, chips, suspension and Aero tuning for the 650pp race as well, but it put me against a Chapparal 2D that time so first wasn't as hard. Pretty fun races IMO

Detuned yellowbird works without any input for my lvl 19 bob... Grinded... Then I hit the 20mil credit limit... Didn't even realise the game had one... And that low... Sucks!!

 

[honkydonky]

400pp Focus ST
500pp Honda NSX Type R
650pp Ford GT Le Mans Spec II

I believe that's 20mil per BOB... (6*20+whatever you earn)
not 20 mil for you.

I'm fairly certain I've seen people with more than 20mil in their accounts...

Nope I can't earn any more at the moment... My bobs can collect money if raced remotely... But my GT Life account is 20mil... Get the "You cannot earn any more blah blah blah" message

Huh... Did not know that...
of course, I haven't come close to 20mil yet (There's always some fancy new wheels I want...)
