Boring Bob in X2010

[KaffeineKeiser]

Allow a grumpy old man rant,

Finally got my B-Spec to level 35 and with it the Red Bull X2010 car.

The first thing I did, after the oil change of course, was put him in the 24 hours de la Sarthe. Don't forget to buy Racing Softs too.

At first my eyes glazed over from the sheer speed of the thing, but now it's just comically monotonous. Cannot even imagine what kind of superman would be required to drive that car at those speeds. I think the G-forces would probably turn your insides to mush.

The team is 20 hours in and has a lead of 104 laps over the nearest pretender, the pokey old Audi R8. Pft!

All this as a way of saying, thanks for the cash register on wheels. I appreciate the earnings. Yet I don't think that I'll bother driving the thing myself. If I wanted this kind of fantasy driving, I'd play Wipeout.

And get off my lawn!

PS. If I'm so grumpy at 41, what'll I be like at 61?

I totally agree with you. It's so fast that I'm never going to use it. What's the point of winning a race by 100 laps! it's fun for a few laps but takes the race out of the race. We need an x2010 championship

We need an x2010 championship

Well considering how hard that is to drive and how AI never wipe out that'd be tough

It should benefit you more with A-spec, but not in races that require you to be in for 4, 9 or even 24 hours. The other endurance races (including the Indy 500 and Suzuka) should be a piece of cake.

I'm 40 and in the same boat as the OP...

The X2010 car is ludicrous... I really have respect for the guys that can races this thing and get gold in the X2010 challenge.

My response time at my age just isn't good enough to drive this thing.

GT5 The real driving simulator. 👍

X2010 I don't think so

As all games, they need something to go out of bounds in their tightly restricted way of play. For this, the X2010, it was Polyphony Digital's toy of fun and experiment. Really no other purpose.

I agree with EliteDreamer. It's just like a car you drive for the hell of entertainment. You don't HAVE to use it ya' know.

Nurburgring in A-Spec sure is entertaining in this thing. As a total n00b in this car I could only muster a 6:20 lap though my bobs love it. In B-Spec they managed a 5:49 yesterday which is just crazy!
