I ran a real tough B-Spec race yesterday. It was in the Nascar Championship. The track was Grand Valley, 8 laps, hard racing tires. You don't want to pit in this race and the game will auto-pit you if your tires get real bad. What I did was keep my driver real cool for the first 5 laps. DO NOT let him spin the tires or fish-tail at all. Then at the straight-a-way at the end of lap 5 start to pace up and overtake the other cars. I didn't have much rubber left on my rear tires when I finished and I won by .001 seconds (got that trophy, lol). I had my car's downforce set all of the way, transmission top speed at 199 and my brakes set at 7 front and 5 rear.

Tips for better cornering. Lower the ride height, increase the spring rate, cambers and toe angle. Should do the trick. If you need setups on a specific car, let me know and I'll work it out.

add all of the downforce that you can (if adjustable)
 
soft racing tires (if allowed)
 
is it turbo? then switch from the high-range turbo down to the mid-range turbo
 
lighten the body as much as possible and add the chasis reinforcement
 
add the custom suspension package
 
add front brake bias (example: front 7 back 5). this allows you to brake into the turn
 
A few things to add. Lower ride height a bit and balance it out with increased spring rate and camber. This will give the cars a better center of gravity and prevent traction loss and reduces drag. A slight increase to break sensitivity also help go quicker into corners since you can break into the turn later than earlier.

how many drivers do you have for B-Spec? i'm doing the races now where you need two. the only problem is my second driver is only level 10 in a level 22 race. he can't handle the cars and comp, lol. so i end up putting my first driver back in after a few laps but he's physically and mentally drained. if you only have one then get another leveled up before you get to 22.

Yea well I planned to do that too, till i unlocked the S.VETTEL X2010 challenge. Unless you have a wheel, you wont be able to get the gold standard trohpy. And trust me, I am not exaggerating when I say the S.Vettel challenge is absolutely insane.

You need level 30 to unlock the challenge. Go to youtube and look up X1 challenge/X2010 challenge/S.Vettel Challenge etc etc. When you see this vehicle in action you'll understand.

i was just looking at some info on hidden trophies. we all know about the rollover trophy but there's one for making a part fall off your car in a race. there are also three photo related hidden trophies. one is to take a pic of a honda in front of the honda headquarters building on the tokyo course. another is to go to the kyoto photo shoot location gion district and take a pic with some guy (special someone?) standing near the car. i've seen him but didn't want him in my picture, lol. and there's one in the bern photo shoot location on the marktgasse where you take a pic of a solitary woman near your car.

Edit: the other three are complete the red bull challenge, complete the endurance class and unlock the long version of the ending movie.
