You can also set it that when a drivers gets warn out to pit so you dont have a zombie bspec bob driving about.

Just don't do it on an endurance race as they will be pitting in every lap once worn out = lose race.

They don't drive that much slower when the bars are empty, do they?

The problem is when you have multiple worn out bobs and they drive one lap, pit swap to bob number 2, drive a lap and swap to another bob, it happens to me with last couple of hours with the lemans 24 hour race.

No, they drive like Zombies at the start of the race too.

Did the roadster 4 hr which was boring... Dreading the rest of the events, never gonna be able to do that 24 hr one lol.

Hi guys, a little off topic, but I could do with some help! As I start up GT5 it gets to the Gran Turismo 5 logo then a message pops up:

"A connection to the server could not be established.(ID = 2:0)"

I thought googling this would come up with a resolution but no. So far I've tried restarting the game, resetting the PS3 and signing out and back in. I'm a bit stuck on this one...

Any ideas guys?

I sent you a friend request last night, I could log in but not access the store yet.

I have the 2J set to shared, also a 2D with limited power you can use for the classic seasonals, a ZR1 fully modded and a M3 GTR.

REDD555 · 10 Mar 2011 at 09:02

1.08 update and PS3 3.6 firmware updates no doubt............

MoNkEyMiKeY · 10 Mar 2011 at 11:02

Going to leave the yahoo b-spec grinder widget running while I go to work. As long as my broadband doesn't cut out should get quite a few races done for everyone on my friends list.

Seattle isn't there, no Apricot Hill and also no Midfield raceway, three tracks I liked a lot.

I still hope they will add them later on.

Wtf? Those were staple tracks for me.

Just googled it. A good idea indeed! I bet Sony really don't like the idea of it though.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 10 Mar 2011 at 11:23

Whats the difference to me just setting up a race every ten minutes from work?

bloodiedathame · 10 Mar 2011 at 11:24

I think this widget does it automatically, with no input required.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 10 Mar 2011 at 11:25

Yeah I know but if sony don't like that then theres not much difference to me just constantly setting races up.

Besides I don't benefit as much as the people on my friends list.
