I don't understand the nation cup rd 1, car settings are enabled by the ruleset but it's disabled in free practice and I can't choose anything from my garage? I know they ran this style of race for daily A a few times but I never tried it, how will this work on race day? Will I have to manually tune one of the preset cars or can I enter with one from my garage? It's not very clear how that works.
There was a Nations exhibition race on March 4 (the game's release anniversary, in fact) at Fuji with a selection of Nissan Z cars. And like that race, the cars were all pre-tuned loaners with fixed settings that could not be changed (besides downgrading the Sport tyres which is a stupid thing to do when tyre wear is 1X). Unlike this race which standardises all cars to Sports Medium tyres, different Zs also got different access to tyres in that race - some got Softs, some got Mediums and the remainder got Hards.It's like you can only "rent" one of the offered cars, and they are already tuned... Can't choose a garage one this time.
And when the '23 Z got 360hp while the 240ZG got less than half that power at FUJI of all places, you know balance was an utter joke - the '23 Z was the meta choice even though it got Sports Mediums. And incredibly, the 240ZG wasn't the slowest Z in the time trial - the Z 432 and Z34 were 2 and 3 seconds down respectively the one time I scrolled through the TT leaderboards.
