No it isn't.
In most sports, racing included, the true competition is an internal thing. This is the reason people are able to spend hours hot lapping in this game. They are challenging themselves, they are their own competition.
When racing in a field of competition, the ideal is to be challenged so that you push the boundaries of your own performance that little bit further. That is the spirit of competition. In the real world every racer out there started from the back, and developed their skills from there.
They try their hardest in every race to beat the competition.
In GT if you try your hardest on the track with equal equipment, you are pretty much garuanteed a win. Now in a game as opposed to the real world, there's nothing wrong with someone just wanting to play & be assured of victory. However I don't understand PD's evident opposition to using a technique that is 20-30 years old - a difficulty slider. Thus allowing the, "I just want to win & acquire stuff as fast as possible" as well as the "I want to have to struggle for every podium, let alone victory, against a convincing AI, that makes me think like a racer, makes me choose the right overtaking spot, makes me think about every milligram of pressure I put on the throttle or brake." crowd
I would prefer a racing game in which it takes me weeks of practice to achieve a 1st place against convincing AI. Than one where it takes me hours to determine just how much I have to cripple myself in order to make it feel a bit like a race, even though I start at the back of a train of cars 20s behind the pole sitter.
Just my opinion of course.
I wish I could like this 100 times. It's so obvious, I just don't understand how people can't see the point being made!
Hahaha... you guys don't know jack shizim about Motorsports.. If a car is superior and or dominating the field they handicap it for the remaining of the season to be more competitive, they don' make the rest of the field faster. They make the fast cars slower. This is practiced in gt3, F1 and super gt * more predominately in gt500* and countless others . I can, A make the whole field faster, or B make my car slower to race with the field. Then again in real life pack racing only occurs in the first few laps.. and nascar! Doing what we do in GT5 would be a very incredible feat in real life, if they gave us the best Damn AI ever , We would be LUCKY to finish six spots above our original position.
