Just to confuse things Lotus cars is now owned by the Proton company (Malaysia), but they still count as British, I think.

It's an old mock up.

I want to see videos of people raging at their drivers in this competition.
I get pissed enough when my boy blows a lead. I couldn't imagine watching when a real super car's on the line!

Holy shit, that is kind of terrible. It's not even really a competition at that point. At least do lap times or something ... but basing your win off of random AI?

They probably chose B-Spec because it gives everyone that owns that version of the game a chance to win the car. If it were a competition that was played in A-Spec then that would greatly reduce the number as there's no way even a good GT player can hang with the top level players. This isn't like the GT Academy, so they don't need someone that's actually good at driving to win the car.

Wow I can't believe the GT5:SE competition is B-Spec. That is like a lottery. The kind of lottery where someone gets stoned to death.

For the record, the B-Spec info has been known since a day or so after the game was actually released. It was posted on the European GT sites

Three more things two add to the Kaz twitter requests if anyone gets a chance:
1. Smoke, debris, skidmarks in rear view mirror in "bumper cam" (even body panels disappear off the track when in this view. They can be seen if you cycle the views).
2. A mark all function for garage and photos, this way it would be less frustrating to mark all your cars for use in arcade mode (favourites), and adding photos to XMB.
3. Allow the ability to set assists globally for all cars/races.
There are more, but these are the most frustrating to me at the moment. Almost slightly game breaking IMO.

ha ha ha, yeah no shit!
Also I might add a fourth:
4. Save option for tunes (which are limited adjustment-wise anyway), so you know what gearing to use for all tracks. If there is no practice/ qualifying, then give us this option!

Time to install an SSD? It halves the loading times!
They even had this in Prologue (three per car IIRC). I used to think GT5P's tuning window was needlessly complex, since it was just one long window of numbers, but after wading through GT5's endless tuning tabs, I'd kill to have the option for a streamlined version again.evil_as_skeletor said:

Same here, i thought it was a raffle too. I've heard that there is a code on the note/paper that is included, so i thought that you just had to enter that code somewhere to enter the raffle.darkwing said:

so i grinded that shitty indy race in the american championship so i could bask in the glory of the f10, but the car sinks into the tarmac on all tracks causing massive shaking in the wheel. :lol
fix this shit. it makes it unplayable for me.
does the formula gt, f12007 and the x1 sink into the track?

i've played around with it to try and fix it but it's just bugged.
the wheels sink into the tarmac up to the green ring on the tyres in certain sections of all tracks. needs fixing asap. and no ride height adjustments? :lol
could you adjust the ride height of the f12007 in prologue?
Didn't notice it so much in the formula gt, but there was some serious wheel shake in the x1, especially at speed. Do you have active steering on strong? I found that made x1 wobble even worse, unplayable really. It disappeared when set on mild/off so I have to imagine that's a bug (there was still a lot of wheel shake, but it was drivable at least).Wax Free Vanilla said:

B-Spec zzzzzzz got couple of levels today though. Now I need to grind for two races or win that damn British Roadcars one (I got the cars, but my driver can't handle 'em). Level 16 now

no, i drive with all driver aids off.
it sounds like the open wheeled cars are only effected by this.
did they test this game?
Bloody rain. How are you supposed to know whether it's inter or full rain tyre weather from a few drops of rain on the screen before the race starts? Doing the formula GT and it's raining at Suzuka. First I put inters on. Then I laugh as the AI start on racing hards and fall miles behind on the first lap. I jump into the 2nd place car just in time to see him slide sideways into the pit entrance, blocking it and causing everyone else to crash into him.
After watching them eventually pit, I casually switch back to my driver, only to find he also just pitted for full rain tyres. Hey, bastard, I didn't tell you to pit. He was fine on the inters too, he's on,y going three seconds a lap quicker on full wets
So it seems you have a 'pit strategy' button which is more like a 'pit suggestion' button because if he doesn't like it, he'll pit anyway. Stupid arse.

Yeah... that pretty much covers it. :lolgutterboy44 said:

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Can they just patch b-spec mode out of the game? Or at least take out the trophies associated with it? Seriously this mood is frustrating and just plain boring. No, I don't want to leave my PS3 on all night while my virtual driver does whatever he does. It's not fun or interesting in the least.

You people ignoring B-spec are gonna have a hell of a time when it comes time to start grinding for money. Embrace B-spec, don't you work B-spec, make B-spec work for you.

Oh no....Seks, remember how much you hated that damn Top Gear Lotus challenge?
Well...prepare to hate the Alfa on Eiger time trial even more... It took me almost 2 hours to get gold on that event, and when I did it was only by 0.2 seconds. Definitely was the hardest challenge in the game for me so far.
My settings were:
TCS - 1
ASM - Off
ABS - 1
F Brakes - 7
R Brakes - 10

Even the best bspec race (money wise) is a waste of time compared to most aspec stuff.weekend_warrior said:

But at best you're going to get 200k credits if you leave it on overnight... that's not even 20 minutes in an appropriate aspec race.weekend_warrior said:
I don't really see it as much more use than just for unlocking the bspec rewards.
