pit stop/strength return?

[jmiboi]

While racing some of the longer B-spec races, I've noticed that throughout the race, the driver's strength and Mental Strength get depleted and do not regenerate, even after a pit stop. While watching some of the computer opponents, I noticed that the opponents' strength and mental strength gets completely refilled after a pit stop. Is this expected behavior? If so, is there something that needs to be done during a pit stop to regenerate strength/mental strength for the B-Spec racer?

I feel like I'm missing something here.

Thanks for looking at this.

It's probably coz there isn't enough time in between stints for the driver to recover. It happens when I'm doing races with the X10, it burns fuel quickly and needs a lot of stops.

AI recovers because they are correct skill levels for driving the race.
When I used My 4/3 drivers they out lasted the AI in both stats and are faster still even in 24 hour races.
You don´t have to RACE as soon as the events unlock in B-spec you can level up higher still.
B-spec Remote Races were planned to allow you to fill this gap in B-spec levels while you go off and drive A-spec.
Your friends will Boost driver levels higher than the unlock number..

You are. The opponents change drivers. Ride with one and watch the name change during the stop, or see it change on the leaderboard.
