I am curious to know whether it makes any difference to the overall game if you complete a race in B-spec instead of A-spec. So far in the game i have found no difference. So the question im asking is whether you unlock anything more, get mroe money etc. if you complete a race in A-spec instead of B-spec.
 
You also get a lot more driving experience with A-spec, which will make you a lot better at the game - useful if taking on friends.
 
There's no direct advantage to a-speccing the races except you'll spend less money because the b-spec driver tends to be slow and therefore needs more mods on his cars. There are a few direct advantages to b-speccing the races: 1) you'll complete the game more quickly because you race at 3x normal time. 2) you can complete all the races without completing any of the license tests.

You will have to a-spec the missions though, and I believe that they require racing licenses to enter so you don't get away without doing the license tests at all.

There is an indirect disadvantage to b-speccing most of the races, and that is you get less experience so golding the licenses and completing the missions is going to be harder. If you don't do these you will miss out on a few prize cars.

You get more A-Spec points. Pretty much all i see it as is a way of making you feel good about yourself.
In B-spec, you get NO A-spec points...

And guys, i'm pretty sure that this has been covered before.

I didnt say something as ignorant as B-Speccing gets you A-Spec points. Im a n00b but im not that new :P

the computer doesnt even listen to you in b-spec so whats the point just leave it in push/overtake and get money for doing nothing.
Actually, as you get more B-Spec points "Steve" does tend to follow directions better.
However, in a lot of cars (The Minolta Toyota comes to mind) if you run in "Cruise" you actually only pull a second or so off of the "Push" lap times, and you gain a lap or three between pit stops.

I have found "Steve" "Bubba" or whatever you want to call him, to be 2-5 full seconds a lap slower than me at El Capitan, and harder on tires.
But, I really hate to run Enduros that are more than about 4 hours.
So, I find B-Spec "Steve" to be a welcome addition.
