Working on these videos for nearly 6 months now has a been a wonderful experience and a great chance to pour my creative energy into some work I can really be proud of AND that supports me. I want to thank everyone for your kind words and warm reception of these videos - it really makes the effort worthwhile. Can't wait to keep it going into next year! Have a great holiday and a happy new year, everyone! Remember to put out cookies and copium tanks for GT Guy! P.S. Totally unskilled B-Spec driver tackles extreme events with an LM car wen? XD
Wanna hear a pain moment from when I let the AI race for me at the endurance race at Laguna Seca? The driver spun out on the cork screw because of bad tires and got stuck facing uphill. The AI was actually unable to get out of the gravel. While he was in first place. ON THE LAST LAP OF THE ENDURANCE RACE! Anyways, great video, you sure put a lot of effort in that one! Keep going man ^w^
That was a *fantastic* intro. Normally I skip them, but gosh that was some great humor “Maybe they’ll make an exception next year for Forza drivers…” got an actual audible laugh from me, well done :3

I think the reason why the B-Spec stopped for a while when getting back on track after spun out was to avoid accident with the AI that was on the track. B-Spec wating until the track is clear enough to come back. Or maybe he's confused what he should do since he wasn't on the "racing line". And he wants to go back to the "racing line" he left as fast as he can rather than finding a best way to go back om track and keep moving
This was actually my first ever gt4 run when I was a kid, because I sucked so bad at racing games, but loved the cars. I made it until the world championship actually, even beat the supercar festival. Now I play racing games legit with decent skill, but gives me memories of my incompetency lol.
The fact that he actually has no real idea what hes doing, doesn't understand the realistic effects of adding parts, doesn't take advantage of adjusting the cars aerodynamics rather than adding HP, and re tries on previously practiced tracks (even if they were lost races) really add a form of entertainment for constant unexpected outcomes because the b spec driver learns over time and takes care of most of the hard work with what it has.
I remember running B-spec a lot, it was cool because it actually made some of the endurance races possible for me due to the fast forwarding. I used to leave it running while I went swimming with my friends and was excited to see what reward it would give after we got back. Good times
Something I learned through my last playthrough is the chassis rigidity refresh is necessary for B spec, not doing so results in the B spec driver crashing/going off course regardless of driving skill, this is especially noticeable in faster cars and technical tracks, mistakes can still be made, but they're more common with a worn out chassis
Watched the entire thing. Start to finish. Absolutely grand editting and story telling. Excellent pacing. Outstanding AI moments. Now it makes me wanna play Sim Racers despite me being an arcade only guy.
Hey Eden, I just wanted to say thanks for helping me through a rough patch in my life. I found your channel last month, and since then, I've felt more motivated to do work, and stuff, so thank you.
GT Guys is my favorite protagonist as well antagonist That Intro it's such an amazing background especially that registration part with also randomize Top Gear clips in the screen
i remember doing the nuremburg 24 hour endurance race in bspec. turned off the tv and went to sleep, woke up in the morning to check where i was.... and the fucking AI crashed, spun out and kept headbutting the wall it hit
If you would have done the Special Conditions Event race - Rally Costa di Amalfi (Easy), you would have won a prize car worth $350,000 when sold. All you need is a B license for it. You can also do that race over and over again to get the prize car and the money from selling it. This is how you get as much money as you want in a very short time.
tbh when I was a kid I played B-spec with a Nissan 300ZX because it was so powerful when i upgraded it to the brim that only the IA could manage it (at speed 2), but it was a money machine so i could buy anything with some grind, basically making GT4 a roblox tycoon
The comedic timing of that sauber being jammed into the pit wall at twin ring motegi is something that cannot be scripted, its just something that has to happen by divine intervention
I got a good appreciation for B-spec mode when doing Endurance races. Usually, if you have an overpowered car, you can set it to a reduced (and safe) pace, and the car will usually win without issues. As a side note, if you want an even better LMP car, you can use the Minolta in the Fuji 1000 km race, and easily win the Nissan R92CP
For me, playing GT4 back then on B-spec was done out of necessity, because I don't have a PS2, and my PC wasn't good enough to emulate PS2 properly. B-Spec screen seems to only use 2D images, so the emulator was able to emulate the game at 100% speed.
B-Spec was pretty much how my dad beat the game, other than slight intervention by him (for context, when it came out, I was 6 and he was 42) but once I started playing it I mostly insisted on A-spec. Both styles do work so long as you know how to play the game well, but racing B-Spec alone is super hard.
My first GT4 experience(as in like 10 or sth idk) was mostly B-SPEC. I honed B-Spec driver's skills in manufacturers cups and national cups and always chose cars far faster than the competition. Best option is to set it at 3 or 4 and keep "Overtake" on.
True.. but the tyre wear would be far worse when you put it to full.. my recommendation is only set to 3-4 before you get p1.. after that, set to 1-2.. well this is for endurance races lol
@@ravioliravioli693 Speaking of endurance races, I think Eden should have tried the 1000 miles! Race with the classic cars, tons of money. Also, he should have bought a crossfire for a Viper GTSR which wrecks the US Championship and gives you an OP Chevelle that can be entered into classic muscle and the classic car event.
@@Leemacht I've never used Chevelle.. but the Cobra 427 is really really op too imo.. just watch which model you get because in the game, there's 2 Cobra 427.. one is from AC and the other is Shelby.. I don't remember which one is it, but one of the Cobra's can do 170mph quite easily on stock
This is such an amazing video, and so well edited! The childhood version of me felt your pain with the CIEN and Nardo on the supercar race. I remembered trying *everything* to win!
This is the true way to play GT4 lol; I have only played around 100 ish hours A-spec and 10,000's of hours B-Spec BOB, since it's the most fun way to play the game, I could probably called the B-spec king. Also, you should leave overtake on regardless as there is no penalty to having it on and only use push hard when you are struggling to overtake someone, overwise just leave it on the 3rd or 4th setting if you have good tyres.
I just came across this video and this completely turned my day around, I'm surprised your channel does not have a bigger following because this is the quality I expect from a way bigger channel lol
The Subaru tournament is my go to method to farm more credits, you only do short races, the total prize money was excellent and the prize car was goated af.
Man, watching this I kinda wanna go and revisit my old GT4 save and continue playing it again. Especially after finding out about the hidden camera adjustment settings so I can give myself better sense of speed. This was amazing to watch.
@@Nickles4 by not specifyng that the editor is someone else and congratulating the improovements in editing and Dustin on the same comment it's what i understood. I just wanted to point it out in case you missed it because editors work mad hard and deserve the shout out.

You were one of the people who got upset when he put on the super softs and you know it (i did too lol, i still don't understand how they lasted that long)
30:05 Funny enough, that thing is actually a convertible you can also put a wing on it, making it a pretty useful truck all things considered 38:00 I made the mistake of doing that once (or I might have been using the Subaru 360)... the lap took me 22 minutes
Got the game running this morning, it's the first time I have played it. This vid was the first I have heard of it. I tell you i'm vibing with the game,it 's easily the best game ive played all throught the past year. Thanks Dustin.
If only he knew beforehand, there are some spots where the AI has a very high chance of going off in basically any road car or car with worn tires. Degner curves at Suzuka, especially the second one, post-Corkscrew at Laguna Seca, after the second S curve at Infineon…
I love b-spec and I’m sad they got rid of it, but I suppose not many people played it so they didn’t think it was worth the time and recourses, still hoping they eventually bring it back
After watching the streams recordings as I missed the streams, this video was a perfect Christmas eve watch. Keep up the amazing work. Only started watching mid this year but your content is stupendous
I remember the AI driver being naff but usually getting the job done... except for one of the Le Mans 24hrs races. It'd cope fine with one of them, but inevitably end up accelerating into the tire wall on the left before Indianapolis on the other one.
Oooh wow it was truly the best long video on yt that I ever seen!!

And idk why but it flew very fast hahahahahaha. nice work man for both of you guys, your editor that has broked he's ass to edit all the streams together in one super video, and you that has struggled to go further with the torture of Spec-B

all the cars together at the end 1:13:45 was emotional i was not ready for that haha

Loved seeing Top Gear on the tele at he beginning. I miss the "Holy Trinity"

Another idea for a challange:
Beat GT4 only using red cars (more than 60% or so is red)
You could also choose another colour.
