B-Spec is so Cold

[Dragonwar233]

After reading a lot about B-spec I feel like I have a decent grasp on it but I still have one question. Does the driver do worse when his personality is really cold, sense the other extreme is bad wouldn't it be bad to be too cool?

I ask because in some races I get a very good lead but for some reason my driver begins to slow down and the opponents catch and pass him. This happens when he is extremely cool.

It depends on his personality. If he has a cool personality, he will run better lap times when he's cool. If his personality is in the middle then he will run best there.

Oh, I see thanks mate. BTW he has middle personality so I guess I have to tell him to pace up when he is in the lead.

 

[freight48]

If he's cold then yes. However, if he's barely in the lead then you may have to cool him down. He doesn't need to be bang on in the middle, just close.

It depends on the drivers personality

I believe the trend lines most people choosing warm drivers mainly due to the interaction with other drive cars the drivers tend to lean towards the hot side, especially shorter tracks.

Very true. I think 4 of my 5 guys are hot with one cool. The cool guy I usually get to run the longer races where he won't be near other cars and therefore naturally cool.

Cool drivers will drive slower and more cautiously. However they'll make almost no mistakes whatsoever. If you like to give your driver a huge advantage in performance against his rivals (X1/FGT against Audi R8's and such), then this is a good thing, since he'll just cruise faster than everyone else races and wont crash. Very handy for if you go to sleep in the middle of a long B-Spec endurance race.

Hot drivers are basically the opposite. Although they'll still be cool for an entire endurance race if they dont meet other cars.

This is absolutely not true. I have a driver whose personality is COLD and he runs better lap times when his bar is in the red. When his bar goes into the blue he slows down.

I forgot to add compared to a Bob on the other end of the scale.

See, no one can figure this mess out. Everyone is speculating about stuff that should be clearly defined.

I find that my two "Hot" Bobs are alot more aggressive at overtaking, than my three other cooler Bobs.

Bobs will always drive faster at the red end of the scale, as long as they can control the car when pushing. If they're having a little trouble, dial them down to 3/4ths. If they're still stuffing it, dial them down to midbar.

My "cold" Bob drives faster when his bar is red, but makes fewer mistakes than my "hot" Bob. Don't know if this is due to personality or specific skill, though. A "cold" Bob simply takes longer to get hot, and vice versa.
