Gran Turismo 5/A-spec and B-spec

The main game modes are A-spec events and B-spec events - here you will find the traditional race events and championships. The events are split into different series, increasing in difficulty.

A-spec is the traditional type of racing you would find elsewhere. Drive to win, hold no prisoners. B-spec is where you coach a AI Driver to victory. Here you will find a replay screen, with one added button... Command Menu. This is where you issue these commands to your driver and aid him. This will often determinate the difference between a W and a L.

Each event and series is unlocked once a certain level has been reached. Note that A-spec events requires your A-spec level to have reached that which is required, B-spec events requires the driver you choose to enter to have reached the level which is required.

In the guides which follow, where cars are recommended for a particular event, preference is given to cars which can be won as prizes and those which have usage possibilities in other events. Cars which can be purchased from a new car dealer are favoured over those from used car dealers due to the unpredictable nature of the Used Car Dealership. Generally, the cars should be obtainable at the same level as the event. Where the car requires a higher level to have been obtained than the event, this will be stated and if possible alternatives provided. In most cases, these are not the only cars that can win the event, so be sure to check out other cars that meet the entry requirements.
