I am beginning to warm up to the opening of tuning and setups in Sport Mode. Since the restrictions on car classes have been removed, I have a feeling we will start gravitating to one particular car that we like, tune it, set it up and use it long-term, with adjustments made according the regulations of each race. Eventually we will probably have half a dozen road cars all tuned and set up and ready to go. It could end up eliminating the whole meta fiasco. Of course, it's too early for my hypothesis to be tested and if I am wrong on this then we will have a double meta problem: meta car w/ meta tune.
On race cars I would prefer BoP to be activated but I am open to trying setups there. The opening of setups allowed me to be competitive in the farewell season with the WRX whereas under the previous normal circumstances it was not a very competitive car.
Who knows where this big change to Sport Mode will take us. I guess it's worth a try. But I would really like to see one race in the Dailies remain BoP with setup locked.
