My thoughts on oil changes, etc
The only unfair one is having less than 200 miles, so it gains power and PP while being tested.
Everything else can and is done online, there is no restriction in PP regulations for PL, ballast, or whether you have to increase your cars power by an unrealistic level with "super oil".
5% power from oil? It's goddamn ridiculous, on top of that, adding insult to injury, most cars in GT5 go faster in a straight line than their real-world counterparts brand new, with 0.0 miles and no oil change. 👎
So I don't care for having to oil-change every car, because it inflates an already inflated performance of most cars.
To sum that up, my next shootout will have literally zero restrictions on PP tuning, you just do whatever you can to make your car go the fastest possible. Excess ballast and pl hurt PP performance anyway, so why build guidelines to force people into the already best areas to be in, right?
Noone called you a cheater. Rules are rules and you were well within them. I was just making a statment that I enjoy the challenges more when I see a variety of cars in them. I think the Nurburg 400/420 had that, but didn't we all know when we saw the car list that the 400PP winner was going to be the Integra with no oil change and the 420PP winner a Lotus. Not trying to take anything away from those two tunes, but car choice does make a difference.
I didn't have a clue the Integra would fair so well, it very clearly was not the fastest car, and I didn't expect it to be.
