Funny A.I./B-Spec driver names?

[sems4arsenal]

I have raced against a L.Gallardo (guess what he was not driving )

 

[danthespam]

I had K.Kobayashi in one of mine! He wasn't very good though, so GT is Very true to life!

 

[xclamationpoint]

I have S(amuel) Adams and C(heese) Berger

 

[Race Idiot]

I've also noticed that in addition to the race driver names they have, which with enough cyxcling can get you the right combination, they also have GT Academy finalists and even some national finalists who didn't make Silverstone.

GTPlanet/GTAcademy names:

- L.Ordonez (Lucas Ordonez)
- K.Keskinen (Karri keskinen, GTP_Grandi finalist from Finland in Academy 1)
- T.Koskela (Timo Koskela, GTP_Timppaq, #1 in Scandinavian TT GT Acad 2)
- M.Calvo (Marco Calvo, Makaay_X, Silverstone finalist GTA2)
- D.Holland (Daniel Holland, GTP_DHolland, Silverstone finalist GTA2 - took photo of this one)
- J.Greer (Jordan Greer - Owner/creator of GTPlanet)
- A.Lacombe (Arnaud Lacombe - Silverstone finalist GTA1)
- A.Ingram (Alex Ingram, GTP_Ingram - Silverstone finalist GTA2)

Racing surnames I saw last night without the right initials but here is what you can make theoretically:

- F.Alonso
- L.Hamilton
- M + R.Schumacher (and Schuhmacher)
- S.Loeb
- S.Vettel (took photo)
- M.Gronholm
- J.Latvala
- M.Hirvonen
- ?.Toivonen
- A.Vatanen
- H.Mikkola
- J.Kankunnen
- D.Bell
- T.Kristensen
- M.Weber (not seen Webber yet)
- L.Grassi (Not quite Di Grassi yet seen)
- B.Schneider
- M.Salo
- K.Nakajima / S.Nakajima
- K.Kobayashi
- T.Takagi
- T.Inoue
- A.Senna
- F.Massa
- J.Montoya
- G.Berger

Not to mention tonnes of names from the world of football, tennis and Hollywood. Also J.May and R.Hammond were seen...Clarkson must be in there.

All the best

My B-spec guy is G.Berger and i've seen B.Senna and J.Montoya in races!

I did get W.Wolf as well but iirc he was only a team owner and not a driver so it doesnt count!

 

[EATfx]

My B-Spec is named G.Haynes

 

[Slacon]

RIght now I have two. First one came up as "F. Lamb" and the other is "A. Ota"
Hopefully I'll get something truly hilarious for my third and fourth drivers.

 

[kingcars]

Got T.Bird at my 4th guy

 

[Kenex05]

Have this repeated yet?
I was racing on Nurburgring N/P and there was an AI opponent called J.Gay.

 

[RACECAR]

Seems like looking at this thread, there's a whole lot of gays in this game

 

[LongbowX]

M Weber is in Forza 3 too! Can you get J.May?

Yes, I just said that a few posts up. I have him.

 

[cheba]

Raced against M. Gronholm today, one of my favortie WRC drivers! And in my next race, A. Hopkins was on the grid

Also got D. Oh once.

 

[miha30ski]

I've seen J.Bond, H.Chavez and a couple more interesting names

 

[Daniel_Elessar]

[hondaspeed85]

#6, lulz

 

[Claret_Mad]

I found him! I found the ever elusive G.Clarkson!

Wait, G? Damn. Well, at least I discovered Clarkson. Let's see if we can find a J.

That is so cool, I'm in GT5!

Cheers for the link TM, this would otherwise have slipped by me

 

[YouichiHophop]

My latest b-spec driver is called A. Berg (Allan Berg was a Canadian F1 driver in the early 80s).

He lost his first race, came 2nd to Roberto Moreno (ex-absolutely everything driver).

 

[Touring Mars]

Thanks to Maz for noticing! Very cool however... I once joked that they should put in some GTPlanet easter eggs... never thought I'd actually see any, but then again, you guys deserve it! I saw J. Ingram, and I've also noticed R. Alba, F. Duke, J. Blake, I. Kent, G. Guthrie, S. Neal, O. Gil and J. Jordan.

Also, there's plenty of golfers in there... Trevino, Van de Velde, Harrington, Woods, Molinari, Watson, Garcia etc.

 

[VcRpPT94]

My B-Spec driver is a lamb (C.Lamb)

 

[Ent]

My B-spec guys is named: Pearson, Guy and Osborn

 

[Tomppa888-]

My b-spec drivers are C. O'brien and B. Strong. Among all the other funny names I remember seeing K. King and D. Lombardo (Slayer).

 

[mizx]

My new B-spec drivers, I gave up trying to find legendary racing driver names and stumbled on these two, R.Farkas and F.King

I've also seen a Frankfurter and Mayo in the same race, and skipped a T.Fujiwara in the B-spec names

 

[McSmith]

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooo!!!!1 just skipped C.Kramer FML

edit:
just skipped E.Murphy...

 

[Geedorah]

NOOOOOOOOOOOooooo!!!!1 just skipped C.Kramer FML

just skipped E.Murphy...

That sucks. I got lucky with E. Estevez

 

[Pedal-Force]

I saw an E. Escobar yesterday. That would be Pablo Emilio Escobar, the Colombian drug lord.

He was racing against me. I won, and I wasn't killed, so I don't think it was really him.

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

My driver is U. Toivonen, which is awesome since Henri Toivonen is my favorite driver. I was looking for a T.Swift, but got bored after I found Toivonen.

It is possible!

K(im).Kardashian and T(aylor).Swift XD

 

[SuperShouden]

I raced J. May today and My third B-Spec Driver is P. Jennings. (James May and Peter Jennings for those who don't know)

 

[RACECAR]

Just found K.Justice in the DTM race

(Those who are familiar with Dirt 2 will know who that is.)

 

[gtone339]

Has anyone found J.Clarkson yet?

 

[Rob192005]

I raced against A.Walker yesterday, I forget what he was driving though.

I also raced against I.(an) Holloway this morning..

Mr A.Baldwin.
