NOOOOO! You are wrong! Strenght is bulls**t in this game.If you have the lead you do not need no strenght or mental bars. Furai was without any mods, just tires.Driver at 23rd level.Pit stop after 15 laps, no refueling, and no driver change. Car was handling well and was able to overtake without any problem. Try this if u do not believe me.

what? you sat through it all? i just gave my drivers a mazda 787 pit strategy 10% and that was all.

THis is true as well my lvl 22 did completed this race by himself, with 1 tire chance but u have to do it by urself set auto pitch strategy not working for this. If u want to use auto strategy u can do as I suggested.

I use it for grinding too, lol. I particularly like the Japanese championship in the Expert level, it nets you good Cr, and good XP in a decent amount of time.

250,000Cr. and about 30,000XP in just over an hour in a really fast car, like a Super-GT Nissan GT-R or something of that sort.

U can try polyphony championship in expert mode it give better around 3.4k cr/ min net around 153000 cr in 45 mins and I believe around 18000 xp or more. Done with fully tune Viper ARC.
For the Japan Cup It net around 3.09k c/min that mean skipping the last race. U would net 198.24k cr without skipping around 220k cr. I will try to come up with table as soon as I finished with all my exam. Happy B-Spec grinding.

EPIC! great post! fun to read someone really enjoys b-spec as much as i do..

 

[Tagger]

I can see where some players would want to use B-spec as a cash generator. That's fine. What I'm more interested in is hearing stories like ReSuinit posted. I want to enjoy the ride, so to speak. One day a few years from now when someone reminds me of GT5, I want to be able to smile because of the great racing memories I gained. So please, if you have a B-spec racing story to tell let us hear from you.

This may be a silly question, but when you swap drivers in B-Spec does it show the drivers swapping over in the pits? Or does it just change the names?

 

[Tagger]

Saw your question in the other B-spec thread Mush. But, I haven't tried it yet. I would be surprised to see a driver swap in the pits though. It'd be nice to see.

Unfortunately, no. It's the only part of the pit stop that doesn't have some sort of animation. All the happens is the name changes under the status bar.

Sorry it's a typo corrected. 18k

I never get a chance to watch SuperGT. It's not important enough to Americans for anyone to broadcast it.



Dang man, what car were you using, and did you have any upgrades on the car?

Check out Youtube. A user name PM910 broadcast the edited version of the races- the Knockdown Qualifying Sessions on Saturday (for both the GT500 and GT300) and the race on Sunday (where it combines the two classes together).

The Super GT season is over but you can find still find the races on his page (even onboard videos from 2009 Suzuka race). The cool thing is this year he broadcasted the videos on the same day as the races. He might do the same for next season. It's one of the best subscription I have on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/PM910#g/u

Regarding rolling start- very few racing actually use standing start. The only one I know are open wheel formula races- F1 and F2. Touring cars, GT and LMP use only rolling start (after a pace car formation lap). Just watch Le Mans, the GT1 WC or any of the European GT2 and GT3. Even American Le Mans and Rolex/Grand-Am use rolling start.

I'm running it right now but I modded my 370z. Its killing them so to-speak. Lap 6 with a 20 second lead.
