[Paiky]

The German side of www.gran-turismo.com added the B-Spec mode as a new feature.

Refraining from getting my hopes up.

20 min timed race at Apricot Hill... options don't seem that dfferent to GT5 B-Spec.

Google Translate:

The B-Spec mode in which an AI driver can take over for the player who was introduced in all racing events in career mode. You can use the B-Spec mode for races where you find it difficult the qualifications, for example at the longer endurance races, or if you just enjoy as a spectator a race. You can select B-Spec from the Quick Menu, which will be shown before the start of a race event in career mode.

The German side of www.gran-turismo.com accidentally has the B-Spec mode added as a new feature.

Needs a translate, I can't read any German or French

Although judging from the pics, this can't be it. Did we really wait over a year to basically get GT5's B-Spec mode again???

All I see new are the options of overtaking, slipstreaming, etc.

 

[sk8er913]

Any news from course maker? O.o that hype tho!

 

[gregorius93]

well, this is awesome

 

[metramt8]

Both leaks are very strange, my bet is that we will get 1.16 this night/tomorrow.

Edit: and from french site.

 

[Zlork]

Big update incoming !

I'm proud to support PoDi !

Now we may get actual endurance races tied in with the B-Spec.
EDIT: Just saw the translation. Or it's possible.

The German site also says "new" next to the driving suits and helmets.

Edit: on the French site the "new" sign is with paints, right after the driving suits, probably a mistake on the German site.

Hate B-spec but finally PD are finishing up with GT6 before the May/E3 expected GT7 announcment time.

When have PD been at E3? They weren't last year. They normally announce their games at events like the 15th Anniversary when they announced GT6.

GT5 was present at every game show. They didn't do that for GT6 as Sony was focussing on PS4.

 

[GTPorsche]

GT6 was at E3 in 2013.

Starting to think there was going to be a planed a post mortem, with these updates, definitely breaths back new life back into the game, after the absence of any release at the end of the year, I resigned myself that PD had decided to move onto GT7.

 

[SCPH1000]

To be honest I loved B-Spec, so this for me is great news

 

[gillesthegt6]

is b spec not the endurance thingy? sorry not sure

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Ah, more good news. 👍 Looks like PD is gearing up for one helleva update sometime soon, perhaps Spec 2.

 

[TurismoBad]

To me the interesting part about B-spec being introduced is the chance (albeit small) of a possible AI enhancements.

 

[JamboGT]

Ok good, now add endurance races, actual endurance races where I can swap to other drivers.

 

[gillesthegt6]

please tell me what b spec is sorry never played gt5 i heard it has something to do with endurance or is it?

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

I'm glad they are finally getting to this but really it is far to late to be of any use to most of us unless they add additional, longer races at the same time. Would have been nice to have had in Jan 2014 back when I was still trying to get credits to buy cars, now pretty much pointless.

Not just Endurance, but that's when it's most useful

From the GT nl website

Het speltype B-Spec, waarin je een AI-coureur voor jou kunt laten racen, is geïmplementeerd in alle events uit het speltype Carrière. B-Spec is handig wanneer je het lastig vindt om sommige races uit te rijden, zoals de langere enduranceraces, of als je het gewoon leuk vindt om toe te kijken. Je selecteert B-Spec in het snelmenu voor de start van de events uit de Carrière.

I have no idea what that says though

 

[LancerEvo7]

Looks like it's the GT4 system of having the option to use Bob in a race instead of GT5's separate modes. I approve. 👍

boring spec

a mode where you get to watch, that's right watch, the woefully inadequate AI (otherwise known as BOB) race your car. you get to tell BOB what to do -- which he will ignore -- and you will yell obscenities at BOB.

From the power of Google Translate;

The B-Spec mode, where you can have an AI driver racing for you, is implemented in all events from the Career mode. B-Spec is useful if you find it difficult to ride some races such as the longer endurance races, or if you just like to watch. You select B-Spec on the shortcut menu for the start of the events from the Careers.

Glad to see B-Spec Bob make his highly anticipated return to the racing circuits.

 

[Mister Slow]

Needs offline endurance races to accommodate B-Spec
