And another thing... B-Spec Seasonal.

So you're all into the seasonal events yes? It's what gets the most money and the best off-line racing (although you do in fact need to be on-line to see the races?!).

And, recently a couple of B-Spec races have come up that are well worth doing, why?
  • The Le-Mans race nets a cool $3m+
  • Winning both gets a gift car ticket (can't remember what but hey!).
  • Experience points for your racer will go up a heap.
  • Did I mention $3m+
How?
With this:

Don't have this? No worries, I'll share mine out. What's more it's geared to win the race. Already pre-set to 700pp with tyres, wing and gearing set to optimum (for my B-spec dude anyhow!).

Tactics
These are a bit fuzzy, as I was dozing whilst my man was racing...
  1. Get a couple of drivers if you've not already got them, select your crappiest first so they go first in the racing.
  2. Race'll start, push hard with your driver, he should be up in the 'red zone' and passing folks up to 7th place or similar with ease.
  3. End of first lap pit in and change to Wet intermediate tyres - it'll have started to rain.
  4. You'll be last, but that's OK. Race on, push hard.
  5. You'll get through 4-5 laps easily enough, you'll need to keep deferring a pitstop, at the start because the driver will want dry/wet tyres and finally because they're shot.
  6. Somewhere past 50% of the race pit in, and put on intermediate tyres again. No fuel though, you'll not need it - or at least don't adjust what's set.
  7. Push hard up until lap 9. You should be back in the pack somewhat.
  8. The other cars should pit in around the back end of lap 9 - idiots!
  9. Don't pit in, your tyres are pretty much ruined by now, but your b-spec driver will cope with this.
  10. You'll pass all the other cars in the pit. So now you're in first place, but with shot tyres.
  11. I then let my driver's aggression drop to mid strength and selected maintain pace at this point.
  12. Lap 10 is all about hoping you'll make it round the track without crashing and getting across the line...
Good luck folks!
