no, you can't because you have to tell your driver when to come in for a pit stop. you can leave it alone for a few minutes at a time, but that's about it... so you still have to be available to check on it through out the whole race.

I have sold a few cars i won during the beginner events, But none of the fast cars.
So the endurance race on Nurburgring is 24 hours  damn, I don't know if i'll like that, That's gotta be some heavy cash you win for that with a sweet car. |
the b-spec mode isn't available for all races (for example none of the special conditions races or missions), but for the majority of the races it is available.
when you choose a race, it will take you to the screen where it lists your competition... and on the far left has the icon where you start the race. the icon to the right of that is where you choose b-spec mode. here you can choose the aggressiveness of your driver, whether to try and pass the car ahead, and whether to come in for a pit stop. if you hit R1, you can toggle between the different views... if you switch to the data view, you can push L1+right on the d-pad and increase the rate of the race up to 3x.
for most short races you can just walk away at this point because you won't have to do a pit stop, but unfortunately this doesn't hold true for the endurance races. it's still very helpful in races that you don't want to do or are having trouble winning... just make sure you have a really good car because the AI isn't exactly perfect. it sometimes takes a lot longer to pass the competition than it would if you were driving.
i still can't figure out the details of the skill rankings (found on the game status screen). i don't know what the maximum values are, how to increase them, or what they effect. i assume that the more you race (and the more you win) the better you get at it and the easier it becomes to win in b-spec mode... but i don't really know.
anyway, hope i helped... back to the race for me (over 130 laps so far, still about 7.5 hours left in the race).
