I'm somewhat surprised that nobody has reported an A-spec mileage bug yet (or my searching failed to find it, which would not be a surprise).
Basically, if you enter a championship series and after each race you select "next race", at the end of the series your total A-spec mileage on the status screen will have advanced by the length of only the last race.
For example, the DTM is about 65 miles in total length over the five races. I started the series with an A-spec mileage of 72,649 miles and the car I was driving had 259.2 in the garage. After finishing the series the car's mileage was 324.4 whereas my status screen mileage was only 72,664, differences of 65.2 and 15 miles; note that the last race of five laps on Fuji 2005GT is about 15 miles. Actually it's 2.81 x 5 = 14.05 but the distance your car travels while watching the result screens at the end of a race does count towards mileage.
Contrariwise, if you quit back to the main screen after each race (as you would to save the game between races or change oil) your total A-spec mileage will include all the races, as it should.
