My B-Spec guy really struggles on the Monaco track... Best I've got so far is silver. Chapparel 2J (sp?) always wins it.

They all do. Give him the (tuned) toyota 7, keep an eye on him and he should win it

 

[[ASSE]Hinchy]

Thats what I do

He's level 20 though I think so I might have to let him level up a bit more.

My second driver is 20 and he's winning the Formula GT championship with ease

He's probably just very crap

Tbf my second driver (Just leveled up to 21) is SIGNIFICANTLY faster than my first driver who is level 24 Maybe because the first driver is cool-headed and the second hot-headed?

I noticed that my cool driver is so laid back he cant see the apexes so has to go slow where as my hot driver is all over the wheel and spins

I have a in-between driver but he is like a wet flannel

 

[[ASSE]Hinchy]

Nevermind, he's just nailed the Monaco race. Once he was ahead of the 2J at the start of the race he never looked back. He's good in all other competitions so maybe I'm too hard on the guy

Yeah having just proclaimed my hot-headed driver a god he's not doing so well on Nurburgring, He's hitting the final chicane too hard and spinning a lot

Still, Monza and Suzuka next, hopefully he wont be terrible at those too

 

[Marine Iguana]

Thinking I should start again.

Send me your nice cars first?

How come you want to start again?

 

[Marine Iguana]

I have no nice cars And endurance racing makes me sad getting a Mazda 110S for a prize car felt so down after getting that turd thing If I start again I can make a better selection of cars even if I go mental at the PS3 for taking my life away

Grind on Super Speedway or B-spec instead?

 

[Marine Iguana]

I am not loving B-spec with my clowns I have got And I can only take so much of left hand corners

I hate super speedway, but you get tonnes of to buy yourself pretty things

B-spec does get better. Takes a while mind

 

[[ASSE]Hinchy]

I don't see the point in starting again personally?

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

I don't see the point in starting again personally?

I started again purely out of boredom, I'm level 17 again and I haven't put nearly as much time in as I did the first time around, plus I was planning on keeping all my prize cars but that only lasted up to level 15 where I went crazy and sold/discarded them all.

 

[Darryn]

Just about to complete B-Spec "Like the Wind" to gain my Toyota 7 race car...
Then i can go back and do the B-Spec Expert Historic, to complete Expert. Im really getting into this game now, the more i play the more i enjoy it.

And im now off work until 3rd January, so ill hopefully be able to spend even more time playing.

 

[griffo_001]

Just chucked two brand new, level 0 B-spec drivers into the Grand Valley 300k, they can only last about 5 laps before they're exhausted Just as well my two sensible drivers are there too

That's what I've been doing, except now I have 4 drivers at class 30 or higher

Was testing a few of my cars on Tsukuba for a tuner race series on GTPlanet and my game crashed on two separate occasions. On the very last corner, after I'd loaded a ghost replay. Prior to this I had run about 15 laps with another car (without a ghost) just fine.

I didn't have to restart the PS3 as XMB was still usable, but it is pretty annoying none the less as I have no clue what causes it or whether it will happen again.
