Exactly. I'm not gonna bother doing those endurance races as I'd have to leave the PS3 on for so long. Seems like a waste of energy and time.

I think b-spec is great! Gets you lots of credits, a free X2010, the ability to buy any level car, level tickets, and many other reward cars - all why you work/sleep.

What is the point of playing, if somehow it is operating while you "work/sleep"? I thought the point of a game is to participate.

I rather enjoyed building a car, and actively playing. Can't see how just setting something on cruise and letting it rip is fun.

It's not fun grinding for credits or experience in GT5 - hence why you run b-spec when you have better things to do elsewhere. It then enables you to enjoy a-spec when you want to have a race as you have millions in the bank and any car you want.

I have completed b-spec and all a-spec apart from the endurance races (which I won't do until they introduce saves). I've even started again on a new profile just for a-spec to win the tickets again. So I have pretty much been there done that on all of GT5.

Now if I want proper fun I go back to taking my Porsche out for a non-simulated drive!

While I will agree with you about it being nice to be able to run the game while doing something else and making progress. But dont take away features that were already part of the game. You could at least intervene if you didnt like how your driver was performing. They did definitely make it much harder to get cars/money/wins which is something I like very very much over the previous titles.

I agree on a more serious note here even tho i just have an S4. Owell, its still sort of a Porsche lol

Attempting Grand Valley 300km [Endurance] in a 430 Scud; the best car in the game I think overall.. I absolutely LOVE it. Especially if you partner it with a steering wheel oh my god, it is pure WIN!
It does have a tasteful amount of mods hehe.
