This mode allows players to manage a race from the virtual sidelines, instead of being in the virtual driver&rsquo;s seat.<\/p>\n<p>The B-Spec mode is a serious racing sim enthusiast feature, as it can take a long time for a race to progress, a fact MyGaming learned during our time <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/8839-Gran-Turismo.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Gran Turismo 5 review\">reviewing the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>B-Spec mode works by allowing players to issue commands to their team&rsquo;s driver, such as &lsquo;overtake&rsquo; and &lsquo;make a pit stop.&rsquo; Whilst it may be fun to watch the results of one&rsquo;s commands, it can also become tedious as the race procession inexorably continues.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gran_Turismo_5_8_screen_4_134533439.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Gran Turismo 5\" title=\"Gran Turismo 5\" width=\"340\" height=\"191\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Polyphony Digital&rsquo;s head honcho and Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has indicated via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/Kaz_Yamauchi\/status\/12116048299958272\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Twitter\">Twitter<\/a> that they are planning to implement a feature that will allow players to interact with their in-progress B-Spec races (taking place on their PS3) from a web browser. The feature should arrive early next year.<\/p>\n<p>This actually sounds like a really clever idea. Those who wish to progress in the B-Spec mode will have the freedom to perform other tasks on their computers in-between issuing game commands. Presumably, one could even go mobile, should mobile device web browsers be capable of supporting the feature.<\/p>\n<p>Discuss the plans for GT5 web browser support on the MyGaming forum.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/5708860\/you-will-soon-be-able-to-play-gran-turismo-5-from-your-computer\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Kotaku\">Kotaku<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/reviews\/8839-Gran-Turismo.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Gran Turismo 5 review\">Gran Turismo 5 review<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/images\/8699-Gran-Turismo-screenshots.html\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Gran Turismo 5 screenshot gallery\">Gran Turismo 5 screenshot gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming soon, GT5 players will be able to interact with the B-Spec game mode via their computers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11681],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-playstation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8925\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
