    It's not too bad if you have multiple drivers though, any exp any of your drivers get counts toward your overall B-Spec level. Any your lowbie driver levels pretty quickly at first because it has normal tnl but get exp from higher tier races.

    But yeah, I just spam races on one until it hits fatigue, and by that time my other driver at least has green, and sometimes the blue up arrow.

    Really do hope PSP Remote Play for b-spec is in the works. Would prefer that over the web interace they're working on, although I can see that being super for farming money (don't need to direct your AI if he's in an overpowered vehicle) if the service works on smart phones.

    I found a deal on the seat, shifter mount, seat slider and the stupid floor mat for $400 shipped about four years ago. It's a little more now.

    Yeah I didn't have a mortgage (or any bills) back then so the price wasn't really the issue. Didn't realize they were still going for that much.

    holy shit the F1GT car is a bitch to drive with a controller... won 2 races, got 3rd in another and quit out of the other 3 races since I got bumped/spun so much... still golded the championship tho rofl. I'll go back to them when I get my wheel

    For the German Touring car, you can win an Audi TT touring car from somewhere, don't remember where I got it from (probably b-spec), but might be worth winning that rather than buying anything.

    I've been going off of this list http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=134047 which is pretty accurate. I don't see the TT in there, but doesn't mean it isn't a reward. Maybe from the level XX tickets? Also the Lexus IS F can be won from the Nurburgring 4 hours b-spec, so once I finish the german touring car event I'll sell it off till I can win it back.

    And yeah Rag, where the wheel is setup is pretty important too. I've always used a small TV dinner table like this http://www.amazon.com/Finish-Solid-W.../dp/B00136CUIU so I'm used to it. The back on the bottom is nice since it stops the pedals from slipping. The table I have has enough weight so when I steer pretty hard it doesn't move too much.

    Yeah, I did the German Touring Car thing in the Lexus IS F that I bought from a dealership for 750k and it was cake. That and I wasn't worried about money since I had just bought the GT F1 car at the time too, lol. I just spammed the Like the Wind's Indy 500 race over and over until I got bored and moved onto something else.

    and yeah, F1's a bitch with the controller, but I've gotten the hang of it.

    I have enough money for the F1 now. I was checking the used car lot in between each of my dream cup runs since I'm grinding my dude on that. I figured if I saw the F1 I could just sell some cars and buy it. No dice though, and after I silvered the expert Nurburgring events I have over 5 mil in credits. I'll probably just check the used car lot every time I do a couple races since I'd rather not keep spamming it lol. I wish we could just use the damn Ferrari F1s.

    Wtf I have those tables, I cant really use em since the feedback on the wheel shakes the damn table, did you turn off feedback?

    No, its on. Are the clamps tight enough? My table doesn't vibrate at all, at least if it does it is synced with the wheel so I don't notice it.

    I notice instantly the weight of the wheel on the table doesn't help either, table keeps rocking all over the place

    Ahh. My B-spec guy is 16, lol. I'm 24 though. I just have to finish the F1 event and Dream Car event and my A-Spec will be done on those events until Endurance ones open up. I've silvered all the Nurburgring events, and am on the level 24 ones. Just silvered the first one. Such a bitch.

    so i got these Speed Freeks and after 2 races i was able to hold a corner and keep my throttle on half consistently and after trying a few licenses i was able to gold 3 that i wasn't able to do before and i feel for 10 dollars they are awesome, and if u dont have the money for a steering wheel right now get these, they helped me more then i thought it would for just a piece of plastic.

    im not saying this is better then a steering wheel but its good enough if you cant afford that shit

    I was more cautious on those than anything, especially on the full lap with the other cars on it. Even being cautious and not trying to take the corners as fast as I could without slipping, I still managed to get only 20 seconds slower than gold on the full lap. Not going to mess with the golds for the rain portions until I gold the dry laps. Looking forward to it though, I love all of the Nurburgring tracks.

    Wheel's at 100 bucks at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER)! I really should buy it now, not sure if it will go up again :/.

    I've noticed in races that have a chance to start off in the rain, the AI cars do not start with rain tires (even if it's raining) and they'll be forced to pit after the first lap. This is especially apparent in the dream car cup when 3 out of the 5 races can potentially have rain.

    Sadly, it was raining at Monza at the start, but not heavy, so I went in with Racing: Rain tires, and then it stopped right ever and never rained again, so lol. I had to make up ground. Good thing they were 10 lap races.

    Haha, that also happened to me a couple of times. One of them was at Sarthe, and it was still raining out but the road started out slightly wet, and towards the end of the race was completely dry. I wasn't even paying attention (since this was b-spec), and I turn around and see the little pit light on. Turned it off for that lap, and it came back on the next lap. By the third lap his tires were nearly gone Luckily he was able to overtake them the next lap.
