This is Bob's car.

[PARAGON GT]

So does anyone else here have cars that are for Bob only?

Cars that you have not personaly driven, just Bob.

I found that my settings didn't work well with Bob, so I began setting certain cars for his liking.

These cars have been set for races that I don't want/have the time to do, or for races that I have done in the past, and are doing again for the $$.

Now Bob dosn't have large of a collection of cars. Only a couple really.

-Jaguar XJR-9 Race Car 1988-
Since I received this car for completeing 50% of the game, I felt no real attachment to it. So I let Bob have it. After taking a couple laps to set it for him, I sent him into the 24 hour Sarth 2 race where he placed first and won me the Bentley. (which Bob will not touch)

-Opel Calibra Touring Car 1995-
Just had this one sitting in the garage. I wanted some fast cast from the Touring car race while I was working around the house. So it was set for Bob and driven only by him.

So does anyone else have cars that are for Bob only?

 

[JTSnooks]

Not a bad idea, but you do know you can have 3 setups per car, right? A, B, and C at the top of the setting screen.

I've actually never set a car up specifically for Bob, I always set them up for myself and make Bob drive them like that, which I'm sure doesn't help. But, he sucks so much that I won't let him race unless he's got a few hundred horsepower over the competition anyway.

 

[kikie]

Who's Bob??

 

[Jim Prower]

Bob doesn't drive ANYTHING, Unless it's an Enduro. then, it's the R92, usually.

 

[Dimitrov]

Who's Bob??

A software personification, bob is a silly unoriginal name to describe "the B-Spec driver".

 

[Kent]

At first I thought "this is a stupid question" and then I thought about it and realized that even I have a car that only gets used in B-spec mode (I don't like the whole "Bob" thing). 👎

A Saleen S7 with over 1300 miles on it.
Some of those miles are from me but most are B-spec during enduros. Now I only use the car for the El Capitan Enduro on B-spec as a money maker. 👍

So this is a good question after all.

 

[eiriksmil]

A Mitsubishi Eclipse in my garage belongs to Bob (or Arne, as I call him, Norwegian). He lets me borrow it if he's nice. The car has soon got 700.000 miles on it, I think "Bob" really likes to drive when I'm not playing the game.

I think Kent and Dimitrov should be a little more polite to Bob, who is a jolly decent chap and does good work for all of us with no reward for himself.

How would you like to be called a "software personification"?

Having said that, I can't stand watching him drive - he's crap. I let him win additional copies/colours of cars I love. For this purpose he often uses the Shelby Cobra which is fast and I personally hate it.

 

[TopHat]

Bob has now been relegated to the small, unimportant races, where he drives the Mitsubishi HSR, which he does very well with.

Bob is a good man. I mainly let him use my Le Mans Quatro to win me the nurburg 24 hour race as a money maker. Now, no more being mean to Bob!

 

[oODrifterOo]

My Toyota 88C minolta is used mostly by Bob because I don't like to drive it because it's too powerful to have fun

 

[dubbed]

Shelby Cobra 427 with some 600+hp....See Bob, see Bob sliiiiiiiiide

 

[oODrifterOo]

I see Bob sliiiiiide all the time when I make him race the motegi super speedway but the only inconveniency is that he slides in the wall

This is indeed a massive problem with B-Specing the Super Speedway enduro. I once used a 787B & after a few pit stops thought my tires where ok to do the last 10 laps, it did 2 laps confortably & I thought it was all gonna be totally fine but from then on, it all started. Sliding into walls every corner. I pitted I think on lap 96 to save some spinning time, past goes 2nd & 3rd place. Then I A-Speced the last 4 laps to make up some time but they where to far ahead at this point to catch up on B-Spec or A-Spec, by the time I finish the race I was only in 3rd place. Very anoying

 

[Richardrfo]

ol' bobbo has almost complete control over Audi TT-R ABT Race Car and the Toyota Minolta 88C-V Race Car, except the odd time i take it for a little run while he takes a rest.

he's currently having fun in the mazda 787b race car while he does the circuit de la sarthe II 24 hour endurance, under my watchful eye. lap 313 at 17:33:47, lapping second place (another mazda 787b) and the ford gt40 race car ran out of fuel and crashed on his 80th lap, stuck in the sandtrap reversing and accelerating into the wall. poor git.

 

[Philly]

I generally let Bob drive my elise whenever it goes to the Ring. Somehow, he is better with it than me (last time I checked). I also let him use my older LM cars; my new ones (Speed8 & R8) are for my to drive enduros with.

Oh yeah, any car required for the races requiring the Super liscense, whigh I still need to get.

 

[Fat Boy Drifter]

The only car Bob gets all to himself is the Mercedes CLK Touring car.
I don't think I've ever driven it. He drives it in the dutch touring car championship and makes me all my money.

 

[PARAGON GT]

Not a bad idea, but you do know you can have 3 setups per car, right? A, B, and C at the top of the setting screen.

Yep. I do know about those.

Typically my settings are like this.

A- Short tracks. Technical tracks where speed dosn't help as much
B- Long tracks. Tracks with long straight a ways
C- Lets see how fast we can get this thing flying.

Like I said, I had the Jag sitting around in the garage. I knew I still had to do the 24 hour races. I didn't want to abuse the cars I liked.

So I decided to build the Jag for Bob. I didn't really do that much to it. Just enough to win.

I think it would be fun for a group of people to chose a car, everyone tune it to suite their bob, and compair the results.

Puts a nice little twist on racing each other.

 

[Speedy Samurai]

My B-spec driver, Beelzebub, was given the Cadillac Cien, to make short work of the early races, and the Toyoto GT-One (black) to repeatedly win the Laguna Seca enduro for cash. He likes both but is jealous of me for the cars I keep for myself. You can't have everything, Beelzebub.

 

[JosX]

The 787B is so much better in the endurance races than all the 4,500,000 cars suprisingly. Better car, less cash! I remember B-Specing the Le Mans races with other cars & the only other car that ever won it was the Sauber C9!

 

[Mind SV]

Since im to lazy to drive the endurance races, he drives my F1 car

Dutch? Nah, not likely. Deutsche, probably.
Deutsch is German and means German, so the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (or Deutsche Touring Car Meistershaft, as it's called in GT4) is a German name, not an English one. Combining these words to make "Deutsche Touring Car Championship" is all wrong, because then you'll have the English names where it shouldn't be.
Although "Masters" is the English word for the German version "Meister" (think of the Stiffmeister, for example), it's DTMs name. GT4 has done the opposite of Deutschland themselves, switching the English and German words (Touring Car = English, Tourenwagen = German, Meistershaft = Deutsch, Master = English).
What you've one is an all English word, however German is the English word for Deutschland. Do you know what you've said? Dutch is the language of Holland, or the Netherlands (Nederland as it's called by the natives). So you've practically said the "Nederlandse Touring Car Meistershaft". Language is fun, eh? Just wanted to point it out, it's so uneccessary when Dutch (English word) is being used for Deutsch (German word).

Woah ! - Its the weekend mate - im not in anther german class til next week ! lol

 

[Black on Silver]

i have a setting just for bob and its the tightest suspension ever. all the stabilizers and the spring rates are way up and everything is just like a rock on the suspension

 

[lucky_brett]

Bob doens't touch any of my 243 cars! He found a job at the car wash, and he's happy there. Every once in a while I'll pop in and tease him with all my cars. And then I have to yell at him cause they only dry off one half of the car, they never get the passenger side. Oh Well, I never really expected much out of Bob.

 

[Mr. Boy]

I usually let Bob drive the Mercedes-Benz CLK touring car and the Toyota-Minolta. I don't really like to drive those two, so I just give 'em to Bob so he can win me enduros and money and stuff.

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

(or Arne, as I call him, Norwegian).

LMAO




I've got an Arne in my class, hmmmm


My driver's called Gunnar

Thanks for the language lesson.👍

 

[Pink_the_Floyd]

You made an error there Eirik

It's "Nederlandse", not "Nederlanse" 👍

Then it would be, Nederlandse Touring Meesterschap I think, hey, ik heb 15 jaar in België gewoond

 

[BobK]

Which of my cars are "Bob's cars"?

Why, every car in my garage, of course
