I had sincerely hoped to post something different than this.
I am not driving this again, until v1.07 ... why can't they bring this thing around?
The contrast between GTS, and to driving anything in, say Assetto Corsa for example, ... it's just too much.
I'm holding hope, still .... barely ... it's Beta Days.
It's Beta Days, ... similar to Free Practice days in F1, things can be all over the place.
You can't judge results in a simplistic or concise way.
Testing various parameters, the priority has to be logging a wide variety of data, not an optimal lap time.
I still hope that when we roll onto the grid for real, there might be an area of the game
that can be used seriously, for online proper sporting competition. That's all I want.

normal people."

I obviously want a different GTS, than a lot of other folks want.
I want it as an evolution of the only aspect of GT6 I use, online private league racing series.
We have been using GT6 in our group, one night every week, for many years now.
The portrait that Kaz originally painted of GTS was exactly that.
The new generation, of the common man's racing league platform.
I don't mind career modes, or drift crap, or photo modes too much, ... as long as they are not in my way.
They do sap budget, artists' & developers' time, and memory space that could be better purposed,
in my humble opinion,
... but it's not up to me. I'm not the most important person here.
Those things are precisely what a lot of other people want, and really enjoy though, so I am happy for those folks.
Assetto doesn't seem like enough circuits and cars to support more than a few seasons for my group.
The way the cars feel and drive is brilliant, it just doesn't look like it's going become a fully fleshed out game.
PC2 is a long way away, and the first one is unreliable still, as far as we have experienced. Some things got 'fixed', but ...
Assetto Corsa is so nice to drive, but I feel kind of sorry for it, now twice jilted in my house. I got the PC version on the same day I got the early release version of DiRT Rally, so yeah, ... AC on my PC still has less than 3 hours logged, total.
Then, because we are ready to transition our league off of GT6, I just started testing AC on PS4 last week.
After a year an a half away from it, I had just started to enjoy Assetto again. Really digging it. And then today, I got DiRT4
...
parting is such sweet sorrow, Assetto, maybe someday our paths will cross again
