Alright everybody, laugh if you must at this question, I would if I read it. I'm a 10 year GT veteran, which makes what I'm about to ask, all the more baffling/embarrassing to me.
I'm at level 26 a-spec...I know, nothing special. I just got my level 6 on b-spec...yeah, even less special than the a-spec. In a nutshell, it seems that my bob is much more capable of handling my 500 hp, '79 Countach than my 214 hp Vitz. umm...what? Follow me on this. I've gotten all golds on the beginner b-spec series with no real issues....except for one of the !@#$ Vitz races. The Fuji track to be more precise. It seems that the higher his stats go up the worse he's getting. I tell him to pace up, he hits the brakes, even on a straight away. I tell him to pace down, he accelerates right off the track, regardless of how early I tell him to pace down. On the main straight, I've told him to pass, what's he do...?...he hits the brakes and pulls in behind a car, rear-ends him, then promptly drives off the track. I've got the fully adj. tranny tuned perfectly(imo), fully adj. suspension, tuned perfectly(imo), traction control set to 8, all the engine goodies, and stage 3 weight reduction. I cannot, for the life of me, get a better than 8th place finish with him. Regardless of what I tell him to do, he just will not pass the 2nd and 1st place cars. At one point, as everybody was accelerating out of turn one, there was a nasty pile up on the outside of the turn. My bob was is 8th place, nowhere near the pile up. Take a wild guess what he did....yep, he drove directly into the pile up, even tho, before he hit the corner, I hit pace down. So, I went and did a couple other races with the bobber to get his stats up. I got him up to level 6 and figured I'd go back and do the race again. NOT! Never finished better than 11th. I know he's only at level 6 but, come on. He killed with the Countach but he's being killed by the Vitz. So I ask you all...what am I doing wrong...what..am..I..doing..wrong..??
