Leave it in I say. It's a nice way to earn credits. Also, going back to the GT4 way sounds good to me.

I voted 'No' even though I don't like it, I think if they put in virtually no more effort, just optimize and re-use what they have, it'll still suck, but atleast they won't used much energy, if the remove it entirely people may complain.
So no effort, or very little effort I'd be happy with. If they put in a huge effort, I'll be dissapointed.

Well then what's the point of you even buying any of the games? Don't tell me that craptastic online is what you like
Just put B-spec like it was a la GT4 it's that simple yes they can expand it, but at least it was optional in GT4 and not only that if you wanted to switch between that or A-spec it was a breeze during the races.
I mean why does this have to be so hard??

As others as said, just bring it back to the way it was in GT4. There's nothing wrong with B-spec itself. It's just the way that it was implemented in GT5 that made it bad. Don't fix what was never broken, PD.

That would actually be pretty cool. Also, the Aspec races need to be more exciting and be based on different types of challenges. Shift 2 and Enthusia are good examples.

Removing B-Spec doesn't really make sense in a game with endurance races. On top of that, GT4's B-Spec was completely unintrusive. They should go back to the GT4 method.
I very strongly hope that GT6 will make A-Spec optional and that you'll be able to take the game and go online from day 1 with every car/tune/paint available. There should also be a free mode to replace arcade mode.
Online is the only reason to pay for GT5 for a lot of people, me included.

A-spec, or offline racing has always been a Gran Turismo tradition, and I think they should continue with it.
Sure, PD could merge B-spec with A-spec, like in GT4. I wouldn't mind that, I just wouldn't use it.
Not everyone has good enough internet (or even internet at all) to play online.
I guess im just a sucker for singleplayer, though I like playing online aswell.
I honestly don't get why didn't they leave it the way it was in GT4. It was one of the killer features for me, considering the game's size, being able to simply let AI drive instead of you in (for you) boring races while eating chips/pizza and drinking coke/beer, sitting in a couch, chilling, that was why I fell in love with GT4 
That you could progress in the game even after being tired of it, just sit back and relax. I loved it. I seriously want this back for GT6.

Just integrated within A-Spec, like GT4, not entirely removed. It's a great way to switch between you and your drivers at random intervals. But not half the game, please.

Why would you remove something at all? Just because some people don't like it?
B-spec is basically just an "all AI" race, so it doesn't take away a lot of developing time, quite to the contrary, it could be beneficial in creating better AI.
The first thing they should change is the huge drop-off from a "cold" driver running alone and a "hot" driver that is fighting with another car. The cold driver loses as much as 8-10 seconds on some tracks, which is just ridiculous. Make it 2 seconds, that would halfway reflect reality. If you're the only one keeping your driver "hot", you've got a huge advantage over the other AI cars that have no human input.
And then make the AI at least as fast as best human time + 3 seconds on an average track, when they are hot. Otherwise racing the AI is just no challenge. (or make it adjustable)

B-Spec in GT4 was alot more realistic. It has to be like that in GT6 again. Just with the option to have a team of several drivers like in GT5

If they bring back B-Spec, it'd have to be like how it was in GT4, especially being able to speed up the race. However, the prize cars should be much better in A-Spec than B-Spec, so you get rewarded for your driving. I started with B-Spec and never tried driving in A-Spec until much later. Also, manufacturer-specific races in A-Spec or B-Spec, please.

Using B-Spec on GT6 gives off the impression that you value the prize car/money more than the actual gameplay. Improve the gameplay by giving the players the option to save mid-endurance race from the outset, and make several events less of a total chore, and you have eradicated the players need to use B-Spec like in GT4, in my opinion.

B-Spec is a realistic option for enduraces, and having the ability to still race even when you're occupied is not something that race saves do.
And as long as PD insists on having prize cars and money instead of focusing on gameplay like a pure sim with nothing to buy or unlock, there will be times when people go for the prize above all else. And there is no reason to look down on that.

They should only cut BSpec if they also provide a way around or eliminate the break in period for cars. Other than that they can leave it in or take it out, I don't care one way or the other.
