Running B-Spec Bob in Auto Mode

[yakuzah]

So I am now ready to start running BoB in Endurance but I have a couple of questions?

I know once starting a race, BoB can be set to Pit at certain times and have his tyres replaced when they are worn, but can you automatically run a race, taking care of swapping drivers and filling the empty gas tank?

When it comes to Le-mans 24 hour and other longer races and whilst we wait for Polophony to patch the game to allow us to save longer races and come back to them, what do others do to succeed in these races?

I certainly don't have the time spending half a day or more in front of my PS3 but do want to progress within the game

Thanks in advance

Use a le mans car or Cheat, use a car that is not in the same le mans class, a FGT or X2010 and then forget about it for 24 hrs

You dont need to, the FGT or X2010 mean your driver does not need baby sitting.

Thanks in advance

There you go. With those 2 cars you dont even have to use more than 1 b-spec driver... unless you want to divide the Exp..

Excellent! Many thanks for the quick reply. I will grind to 35 then (only 2 levels away) and get the Superior car and win with one.

What about fuel though? Will fuelling happen automatically?

yep automatic refuel.
Dont touch the pit system.
They will change tires for rain as well automaticly.

4hr ring race is easiest to increase B-spec level. the Audi R8 on the ring wont stand a chance if you use le mans, C class or GTS cars. another 600,000+exp

Just pray you don't get the idling cars after the race glitch. Where the timed race is over but never does the payouts. Has happened to me on the 1000K, 9, and 24 hour NRing race. Grrr to say the least.

KK Run the 300KM race last night and success

Sweet, thanks all for the tips, will progress into longer races tonight and get BoB to do Lemans when he is correct level.

Thanks all
Yak

I just ran the 9hr race with 2 bobs. The 1st time i set the pit stratigy to like 10%.. BAD mistake. I used my Forumla GT. And within 3 laps lapped the field.So I was feeling good.When I woke up in the morning, it was 6 1/2 hrs into race, like 400 laps. And I was 30 laps down. The reason, my bobs power was down, and they pitted EVERY LAP through out the night.So I re did it, TURNED OFF pit stratigy.Destroyed them. I also Run 1 bob in the indy 500 endo race with my formual gt.takes about 2hrs, tons of xp and he does just fine pitting by himself.So turn off stratigy and you will do fine.

that happened to me a few times as well.i noticed it only happened when my connection drops out for a few seconds.
to be safe dont log in on PSN while doing B-spec and it wont happen.
hope PD fixes this in the next update but i doubt it as its been like this since a few updates ago
