I have a big problem.None car is enough good to win in the race-circut de la Sarthe 24hin b-spec mode( I tried all my best cars for example formula often has an acciden when it rides on straight way) .Please write me which car you won this race.It's my last race :guilty:

Mazda 787B with super hard tyres and turbo!
it´s very fast and is the car to come very late to the pits(it doesn´t come in because of tyres--but because it has no FUEL anymore!)
others: GT-One with turbo and R92CP ;)
have fun
i´ll do the nürb 24h tomorrow...
 
i used a Minolta Toyota with oil change & Stge 4 turbo (1223bhp). beat 2nd by a few laps (787b) and 6th by about 45 laps (gt40 race car '69).
 
use the Audi R8 and tune it very lightly....(about 905 or so). I didnt win by much...only 2 laps ahead of the R92CP.....but it gets the job done.
 
Won all 3 of the 24 hours in b-spec with the minolta totalling 10,067 miles. Maybe you are pushing too hard with your driver or maybe you don't have enough b-spec points yet.
 
I used the Minolta with b-spec Bob on about 5600 points only. I drove a few laps in A-spec at the start of the race to get a decent lead then let Bob take over. On 3 he did just fine. Won by 4 or 5 laps . Hope this helps.

Did you tune it?

I am trying to do it with a stock car (including tires) and after doing some tests I see b-spec bob can't beat the 3:11 I saw posted somewhere (fastest competition) with any car I have other than the F1. He can beat it in the F1 on setting 4 but he is very inconsistent with his lap times. One lap he is doing 3:05 and the next 3:35....

Here are his times:

Minolta Toyota : 3:18 (I do 3:04)
Nissan R92C : 3:15 (I do 3:03)
Jaguar XJR-9 : 3:14 inconsistently (I do 3:05)
Nissan R89C : 3:18 (I do 3:04)
Formula GT : 3:05 very inconsistently (I do 2:59)
Toyota 7: 3:36 (I do 3:26)
Audi R8 : 3:15 (I do 3:03)
AMG CLK : 3:17 (I do 3:11)

Any suggestions?

What makes you think B-spec Bob is supposed to pull quicker lap times? I don't know of any quality Bob has (except endurance) that he has over any AVERAGE driver.

So practice, and put on a pot of coffee and have fun.

I would say any of the balck carbon fiber cars from day 694 which i just got.
These are great cars and should win the race

I have both the Black 787B and the RC92P, but didn't know that they were carbon fiber. Were the originals painted carbon fiber? If not, than it would give the black ones a weight advantage, to counteract its HP disadvantage, compared to regular versions. It was my understanding that they were just painted black.


I used the Black Mazda 787B in a split between A and B spec to complete this race. That was w/ any turbo upgrades, and using R2 tires F and R. With the turbo I could see that it would do the trick.
 
I used the Sauber Mercedes C9 (stock w/ oil change), doing a mix of A-spec and B-Spec. Won by a lap over the R92CP. There are better cars out there to do this race, but I wanted to avoid the time paradox of LMP's on the old circuit.

He needs to pull quicker lap times so I don't have to race! :)

He has done so in 9 of the 13 endurance races I have put him on, one of them being the Sarhte II. And the car is the key factor. Hence my question.
 
Mr Slow - My A and B-Spec times were near enough consistent with yours. The Minolta was fully tuned , Stage 4 turbo etc. Once I had pulled out a decent lead Bob had no problems maintaining it. If you want the Gear ratios/ suspension set ups let me know.

I used a fully tuned (turbo4) r8 with suoer hard racing tires.
My ******g b spec driver crashed the wall every 3 laps but won by 2 laps and a half
 
Nige, thanks for the offer. I decided to go ahead with the F1 but bob was so inconsistent that after 1.5 hours he was 1 lap down. So I quit and tried the r92c but that thing eats tires like crazy (stock tires) bob could do 3 laps but I could only manage 2 so the math wouldn't work there.

I finally switched to the R8 since it was the only other car (besides F1 and R92c) where bob could sort of keep up time wise. He was doing the same times as the R89c but having to pit more often he was loosing about 1 minute per hour.

So i decided to let him do his thing whilst I did other stuff. I figured I'd have to come in and drive at least half the race so what the heck. After 9.5 hours he was 3.8 laps down on the 787 and 1.8 laps down on the R89C. I took over an have just crossed the 12 hour mark. I am down ~2.6 laps on the 787 and have a lead of about .7 of a lap on the R89C (Which is now in 5th).

I am pitting every 3 laps and can do pretty much the same every time:
Lap1= 3:33 - 3:37
Lap2 =3:04 - 3:10
Lap3 =3:14 - 3:19 (I have glowing red tires from the end of Musslane onwards so i have to be very careful)

That gives me an average of 3:17 and with the 787 lapping around 3:18 -3:20 it is a max net gain of 9 seconds per set of tires. So my real gains are basically on their pit entries. I t hink the 787 is pitting every 9 laps so I reduce his lead by 1 minute (30 seconds for his pit stop and 30 seconds from 3 stints from me) every 30 minutes or so.

Those are rough numbers but reflect what has happened the last 2.5 hours. If I can keep it up I will catch up to the 787 in about 5 hours. That should leave a good 6-7 hours left of the race so I may let Bob drive again...

Sorry for the confusion, my b-spec guy has almost 9400 points and I have yet to have him pull a better time than me on ANYTHING.

No worries. I meant better times than the competition.
 
i used the Formula Gran Turismo. also only race with the pack of cars with the Ford GT40 as thats the slowest group that the computer picks as your opponents. at the end of the race i was like a little over 10 laps ahead of 2nd place. The start of the race is whats hardest. just keep him on 2 or 3 for the whole track.

I know it may be a tad late to say this - but try raising and softening your suspension on your F1 (at least 10mm on the front and 20 on the rear). My F1 seemed to be very inconsistent here too - due to some funky twitchy driving on the straight. Seems Bob can also be a bit of a sight-seer on occasions. We PAL users seem to have copped the worst of this little glitch.
 
Mr Slow. Good luck with the race . With detail like that you deserve to come out on top! By the way, have just been watching the terrible events from London on tv. Puts everything in perspective really.

Ezz777, Thanks for the info. I'll finish this race as is and if I ever do it again I'll give your settings a go.

Nige, Thanks for the encouragement. I pitted on lap 292 (16hours 31 minutes of racing) on P1 with a 16 second lead on the 787. Lost 1st place in the pit stop and paused the game before getting back in.

So it roughly took me 7 hours to recover from 9 1/2 hours of Bob's driving. This means I could let him drive another 4 hours and I could still win the race.... have yet to decide.
 
If you have the time drive a-spec as you are always quicker. Give yourself that window of margin that b-spec bob needs. Thats what I did and it worked a treat.

I used the Sauber (stock with RSH) for this event, and it worked wonders.. only thing was tire-wear which had me pitting every 5th lap.. but I did times at 2:58.xx <--> 3:05.xx so I did A-spec until I had a 3 lap lead and then let bob takeover until I had a 1 lap lead and made it a 3 lap lead again with A-spec..
 
Dustwave, I don't have the Sauber because I haven't done the extreme hall yet. I will probably do the same as you with the remaining 7 hours of the race. I will continue driving until I have a two lap (or so) lead then will let bob finish it off. It should take me about 4 hours for that and according to the stats I have he won't loose it all in the 3 hours he'll be driving. Now I just have to find the 4 hours in my day....

what the??? Oh My GOD!! B-spec does suck, and that why i don't even use her! I pulled 3'04.466 in de la Sarthe I!! no it's not II.. 2 wheel on track all the time, no drifting (all other AI is 2 min behind (i'm doing 6th or 7th (i forgot) formula one chamption right now)), and yeah, no cheating, hacker, none!
and i think i could get below 2:50 on II.. i'm not sure, let me check when i'm done with this Fomrula one chamption.. if u want to see how i'm doing, check my sig

Not sure I understand your post. If you are saying that b-spec is slow then we all knew that. If you are saying you can do better than 2:59 on Sarthe II then I never said it was a super fast lap, just that I did 2:59 and b-spec did 3:05.

Also, you say you haven't done Sarthe II so that makes your post even harder to understand.

Finally, you have in your sig that you are at 67% and don't use A-spec. Yet, you only have 9,000 odd a-spec points. I am at 55% and have a good deal more points more than you . Are you just doing 1 point races (nothing wrong with that) or have you not done all the missions, or are you b.s.ing?

Haven't done with Mission... didn't even start it, and yes, most is 1 point race :sly:

and what i'm wanted to say is that i did on Sarthe I and beated B-spec's time in II... i mean Sarthe II have long stright road than Sarthe I.. he should go more faster than me... but nope....
