Many athletes and drivers begin to lose some of their skill and performance before they stop competing, i.e. reach their maximum experience. Many often achieve great success after not being at their physical peak, athough it's difficult to say that that is reflected in GT5.
There's nothing particularly unusual about it, but the words that PD chose to describe the trophy were not the best choice. I wonder if translation has anything to do with that or if it was just badly written originally? The only thing the experience bar indicates is number of races(and in PD's infinte wisdom, not even his own races).
It's not as if a hockey player's 1,000th game is likely to be considered "the peak of his career" if he won championships in his 382nd and 523rd. I'm not even going to try to wrap my brain around how the number of games his contemporaries participated in would in any way affect him.
Just say to yourself "it's just PD being PD" and do what you have to do to get your trophy if that sort of thing matters to you. Or just let it happen/finish it off if you're close.

I got my GT5 XL edition on Nov 2nd 2012. I got the AOE trophy with 3 Bobs after
lvl 40 264/296 + lvl 40 132/144 + lv 39 61/65 races. Which is 505 B-Spec races. I did not do any remote racing. I don't even know what is remote racing because I am mainly a trophy and expensive car whore.
This includes both the offline B-Spec and online B-Spec Seasonals. At least 100 of them from the B-Spec Seasonals because I was grinding the 1 mil. (200% bonus) from the Suzuka 650PP B-Spec seasonal. Now I have all the 4 mil. plus cars except for the Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car.
So a myth in the myth-busted thread is busted.
Online B-Spec Seasonals count! Online B-Spec Seasonals count!

It was actually 505 races. I was keeping track of the trophy. I was dejected after I didn't get the trophy after 500 races, but as someone noted it is around 500 races, I kept going with my XXXOXX grind. The trophy popped up after 505 races.
My oldest bob has less than 300 races, but his experience bar is full.

I needed 616 races and I didn't remote race. I did complete the B-Spec seasonals and did the 2J Sarthe for grinding but not 100 or so times. Not only did my main Bob's performance go down, so did the performance of 3 of my other Bobs who were quite far along the career bar!
