B-Spec easy money in less time!

When you play in B-Spec mode speed up the viewing time to 3x. This is done by keeping L1 pressed and move to the right 3 times, your going to see it flashing(Doesn't work in reply view).Also make sure you keep the pace of the car at 3 or steady speed and have overtake on too.The car will pit on it's own or you can hit O to make it pit.For every 3 min in the game it's only one min. of your time.

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

The B-Spec races can be so frustrating sometimes. It will be a long straight, and my car has enough power to pass the car in front of me, and what does the driver do? Drive right into the fucking back of him and lose about 3 cars! I have it on 5 and overtaking on, and the same shit happens, he does it on some corners too! I’m sitting there watching it, rooting him on to win me a race, and when he pulls a stupid ass move like that I can’t help but throw the fucking controller at the wall!

Am I doing something wrong? Does this happen to anybody else?

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

I think to do really well in B-spec you have to be quite active in it. Keeping it on 3-overtake will work if your car is much more powerful than your competition, but I wouldn't expect it to work on an evenly matched race. I try to be aggressive on straights and easy sections (4-5), and less aggressive on difficult sections (1-3). But I haven't really played B-spec that much....

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

I can usually keep it on 4, and use 5 on nice long straights, or easy corners. The AI very rarely spins my cars out, even fully modded to the way I like to drive (slide). I always have overtake on.

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

My driver used to SCREAM up behind the cars and when you think they was going to get blown away, my car just SLAMMED into th back of the other car and that was that. Ended up passing later on down the track.

Anyway heres what I found out what to do....

Make sure you have the Racing Brakes and the highest level of Suspension. It doesnt make sense on the Suspension, but it helped out. Now my Driver passes like a pro and doesnt run into anyone from behind.

Heres how I got my first $300k in the game....
Bought a 99 S2000 cheap (12k I think).
Did a few mods to it and won the Roadster/Convertible Cup a few times. You get 3k per win and if you win all gold you get a Prowler worth 10k.

Get the S2000 SCREAMING!! Get EVERY mod on it, including the highest turbo.

Go to the Japan Events with the S2000 and win the Japanese Championship which offers 7,500k for each victory and $35k for the championship. You also receive the NISSAN Fairlady Z Concept LM Race Car when you win the Championship, which is worth 300k+ if you sell it.

Do it again after you clear out the records and get another Fairlady Z Concept LM car and sell one of them to mod it out. The only thing you can do to the "Lady" is put on two or three turbos. Pick the 90k turbo and go race the Japanese GT Championship in the Japan League and presto!! Your filthy rich! The Z will whip up and will win no problem! Its a 10 Race Championship, you get 15K each victory, receive 100K for winning it and you receive the NISSAN MOTUL PITWORK Z (JGTC) '04 which if you sell it is worth 200k+.

You can do all of this in A-spec or B-spec. I did the Japanese Championship in B-spec cause I didnt have the required licence yet. I now have the licence and raced the Japanese GT Championship. It sucked but it was worth receiving 15k each win and then the 100k at the end.... WOW!! Then top it off with a car worth 200k!!! AMAZING!!

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

The best uses for b-spec i've found is to use it to win one of the special even races taht u can sell the cark for like 250k and Endurance races.

I've got like 5 enduro's done all in B-Spec.I am doing a 24hr enduro right now.I've had it on for 7hrs and have 11hrs done of those 24hrs left.So B-Spec is saving me lots of time.I just try to be there every time the car pits to put the viewing speed back up again to 3x.I'm doing the race with my RX7 LM Race Car 8??hp fully upgraded to the max.O and use SUPER HARD race tiers the last the longest.I also noticed that you can keep it on 4(fast) for lower hp cars they'll do just fine.
Also a good way to get easy money is to buy a subaru car like the sti I did the race with a sti prodrive type R did a few modds and entered the race. You get 10k per race theres 5 races and a 100k bonus and you win a subaru sti LM Race Car worth 95Kthe cool thing is that if you do it in B-Spec mode you'll get all 5 races done in about 15-20mins.

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

The best money trick i know is on gtplanet.net under the GT4 forums its like a 900k trick but idc bout money i got plently enough. Also i hate how u have to speed it back up that completley sucks. How many points does your b-spec driver have? U can check at your garage it will be under you a-spec points.

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

you need to get a usb jump drive. check out gtplanet.net under the forums section u might have to search, it will have a list of compatable ones. u only got alitttle over 200 days until u can get the 4 carbon lmp cars. they are under the black lmp cars in the forums.

Best two ways I figured out how to make quick money so far...

Enter the second easy rally race and race the two races @ 2laps each. It takes less than 5min per race and you get 5k for each race. The prize car is worth over 200K.

You can also get a modded up domestic car and race the stars and stripes event in B-spec. Race all 3 races, and you get a LM Camaro thats worth over 200k. You can easily have over 1million credits in less than an hour.

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

i've used that camaro for my 24hr race....which im in the middle of now. b-spec is a life saver! set up the race before you hit the hay, and when you wake up, nothing but credits.

Re: B-Spec easy money in less time!

I LOVE B-SPEC!

I just did it for the first time today. There's the "1000 miles!" series in the British racing area that pays...like...75,000 per race (3 in the series) and 150,000 for the championship, plus the bonus car. I'm running the race in B-Spec mode RIGHT NOW and I've lapped every car at least once.

To enter this series, you have to have a pre-1970 car...as long as it's a production car, it doesn't matter...so I got a 69 Stingray and modded the piss out of it. Fiat? Karmann Ghia? Please...no competition...even though the Karmann Ghia is cool as shit.

What makes the B-Spec mode so cool is that you can change back to A-Spec for a lap or two when you pit. I had never even driven the Stingray before I entered it in the series so it was kinda nice to be able to run a couple laps around Nurburgring.

I see B-spec and I having a long and fruitful business relationship...

EDIT: Sorry...for the "1000 Miles!" championship it's $150,000 per RACE and $300,000 for the series!
