If we changed out every combo (which we don't) for every week we race a year, it would take 1 year shy of 1,000 for us to work through them all. 50 generations of Snails. It's a completely unreachable goal and should not even be a consideration when making a prize pick. We are just flat never going to get there.
I for one would not be surprised if there wound up being 50 generations of Snails. (Sounds like a premise for a sci-fi movie involving 3D virtual reality racing special effects. ^^
But those are extremes in math.
(Not that there's anything wrong with that.
)
For just an example, just because it's not possible to do all possible combinations, doesn't mean that it would be desirable to be racing various GT300s on configurations of Grand Valley for the rest of eternity, 50 generations, or even 6 months.
Mostly because there are a lot of easy opportunities to race GT300s, if that's your bag.
Not because people don't like it GT300s or GV. I think lots of people really love that! But because of the human tendency to find variety surprisingly attractive, whether a person realizes it or not.
Meaning even people who would vote to have 100% GT300s all the time because they love them, would probably, after a time, enjoy something else too sometimes.
Not really, a real drivers car would be that RUF. I may not have been much good with it on Tokyo but I'm pretty sure if we brought it to another track Sunday would've been alot different. The Lexus is fun but it isn't a challenge to drive.
Yeah, in fact, as I suspected... the better (or easier or faster) the car is, the worse I do compared to other people. Because it's not a challenge for most others (particularly faster drivers), and I'm not really used to cars that turn so nicely. Not sure how to explain that.
(Not pushing any other venues here
, just describing MY experience & situation. 💡)
Sunday was only the 3RD TIME I ever raced in a GT300 with real people. And I've barely even used them in single-player That includes an organized club race in GT5, and Thursday's SNAIL practice session last week!!
For some reason I thought for sure I'd be too tired to even do the Lexus race last Sunday... But found it a good pick for the last races, since it was almost relaxing in one way. Even though I was super cautious because of my unfamiliarity and not wanting to create a problem because of that... I actually found it at least a bit easier to be cautious, without just totally joy-riding it out.
Unlike the RUF at Tokyo.
I think that RUF is not so much (or not just) a driver's car as it is a car buff driver's car.
I don't remember who it was who said he comes for the exciting racing, more than "realistic simulator" thing. But that's not uncommon. I think SNAIL members, as well as generally people who play GT, stretch a range of "motivations" of what appeals about racing here... or elsewhere. Some may be more into motorsports, others more into the cars themselves, and others more about an immersive experience feeling as realistic as possible, others mainly about crowded wheel to wheel racing excitement however. (Most a combination of several.)
Personally I'm all about the cars.
(Just sayin', not trying to convince anyone else to be, promise!)
All viable I think. No wrong answer.
