Hey, guys!

The start of the month means that it's time for another Monthly Q&A!

As usual, if you have any questions for me then please comment them below this post and I'll be sure to answer them over the coming days!

(Just a reminder that this is limited to one question per person per month. If you comment with multiple unrelated questions, then I will only answer your first question.)

Haha, no worries! In that case, I actually talked about it a bit in my video on some of GT's lost features (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-1xONCrAsI) My summary is that, yes, it would be cool to see B-Spec brought back with GT Sophy integration. The increased intelligence of the AI could lead to some interesting situations and also more options in terms of how you're able to direct your driver. Some other things I would like to see would be the ability to race alongside your B-Spec driver in certain events by entering them as your team mate in a second car, and also the ability to do driver swaps with them in longer races - much like how you could in GT4. Both of these are ideas pulled from real motorsport, which would not only add to the level of realism but - more importantly - would offer some new and interesting avenues of gameplay. If they could then tie this into the progression (such as starting the career as a privateer and then expanding to a 2-car team later on) that would really be my ideal vision for how to bring B-Spec back

Here I am again, finally found some money to become a member again lol. So anyway, in my long hiatus from your page, I just have one question. If you can remember, what was your biggest choke in a Gran Turismo game ever? What I mean by that is was there ever a time where you had the race in the bag only to make a series of mistakes at the most inconvenient of times and lose the race.

Hey, great to have you back! That's a really good question. TBH, I don't remember that happening to me too many times, although I'm sure it has and I've just supressed the memories lol But there are a couple of recent ones I can think of along similar lines, both from earlier this year. One was in a league race on GT7 at Nurb GP. After starting the race on dry tyres when the track was still damp, I gained time when most others who started on wet tyres had to pit as the track dried out. This left me with a pretty big lead, but later in the race the rain came back. I went straight for the pits to get some wet tyres but overshot the pit entry, meaning I had to do a whole lap in the pouring rain on dry tyres. It was pretty much identical to what Kimi Raikkonen did in the 2007 F1 race in case you've seen that before. Anyway, after losing a heap of time I eventually came home in 3rd. Funnily enough I actually lost another race win in that same league season at Watkins Glen when I disconnected on the last lap, which was pretty brutal. As for an offline race, I very nearly had one of the biggest chokes ever at the Fuji 1000km endurance race in GT4. I was using the Toyota 7 and did the first 90 mins of the race before switching over to B-Spec. I'd built a pretty big lead which soon vanished when I let the AI takeover, but I calculated that if I did the final hour myself I would still have plenty of time to retake the lead. So, that's what I did. But when coming into the pits to make my final stop, I overshot the pit entry (again lol) and managed to get the car stuck in a gap in the barrier. It took the AI autodrive a good 20 seconds or so to free itself, which left me in a real rush to catch the leading Sauber C9. In the end I just barely managed to do it, but only by cutting the chicane pretty much every lap until the end of the race. You could imagine my relief when I finally crossed the line - crisis well and truly averted lol
