i have car names

P. Carrera and a L. Gallardo ;)

I got some new drivers: L.Tyler (with pink helmet) & A. Gamble are two that I can think of!
 
Just a quick question for you all:

Has anyone been able to obtain either "T. Stig" or "J. Clarkson" as B-Spec driver names? I've been saving two slots for them and I periodically scroll through looking for those two but I have yet to see those names come up. I have "J. May" and "R. Hammond" already, and I was hoping to complete the set :) Any confirmation on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Juts got Devin Hester(best KR/PR in the NFL) and David Wright(3B for the Mets)

i like other sports.
 
Ok, not so 'funny' but relevant:

I have 3 tribute last names of great drivers who met untimely fates (didn't plan it, just saw the name and had to have them)

Toivonen - Henri Toivonen was a Group B driver who fatally crashed out of the 86 Tour De Corse in one of the mega twin-charged Lanica Deltas.

De Angelis - Elio De Angelis, The "last gentleman F1 driver", killed in testing at Paul Ricard Circuit, also in '86. In addition to being a great driver, he was one heck of a pianist, look him up on youtube!

Koenig - Helmuth Koinigg (close enough) - Had great potential but was killed in '74 by the same guardrail fault at Watkins Glen that also took Francois Cervert's life a few years earlier. I've been a flagman for auto races for a few years now and have been to Watkins Glen multiple times. I've met someone close to the first flag man that responded to Helmuth's crash, and it was a difficult thing for him to deal with. RIP.

Also, I have G. Berger and the last name Lamy (Pedro Lamy), both of whom suffered huge accidents at the same San Marino circuit that took Ayrton Senna's life.

So my B-Spec lineup pays homage to all those great drivers.

What a list of BoBs....
 
Nice thread!

I've been looking for real driver names lately and since I have multiple accounts I've created quite a nice list of Bobs:

G.Berger
T.Kristensen
R.Williamson
F.Massa
H.Toivonen
J.Thompson
J.Clark
V.Rossi
J.Palmer
S.Moss
B.Schneider
E.De Angelis
K.Kobayashi
A.Senna

Skipped over F.Alonso and M.Schumacher, so I'm not done yet...

Hey thanks, looks like the person below me might have had the patience to even get the first name letter right.

I'm still kicking myself for accidentally clicking past R. Petty!
 
You guys should enter some BoBs in my World Bob Racing Championship!
 
Just hired a guy by the name of F.Castro whom looks surprisingly good in camo!


Sadly, I jumped over O.Koch 👎
 
Just added M.Hirvonen and K.Busch to my list of Bobs. I now have three accounts with real driver names:

E.De Angelis - G.Berger - K.Busch - J.Clark - M.Hirvonen - O.Jarvis - K.Kobayashi - T.Kristensen - F.Massa - S.Moss - J.Palmer - V.Rossi - B.Schneider - A.Senna - B.Senna - J.Thompson - H.Toivonen - R.Williamson.

It took many hours but I guess it's a nice list. Still looking for some drivers though...
 
I found D Bass. Made me chortle for some reason. trying to think of some sort of clever joke along the lines of not being able to wait to "turn him up".
 
So its a rumour i searched for clarkson may and hammond but no joy loads of people told me they were on there and i have searched and searched. The names i chose reflect the driving style.Slightly cool driver called Navarro slightly mad D Murphy a Dreschler an Estrada and Hintinenjust wauting to level to fill slot 6.Also can anyone direct me to the thread about Toyota 7 set up for Historic Cup race See Ya Online Folks
 
My man is either S.(Space) Hopper or D. (Dennis) Hopper, I forget, so I just call him Mr Hopper. He's decent, leagues ahead of the bob I had in GT4. Anyone else think the bob in GT4 looked like Graham Hill?
