Some questionnable summit changes, a new forced sequential gears mode will be a modifier and you can use a crew in any event. Cant say the summit changes are too clever, as a solo player I should have the same performance available as folks in a crew ( its supposed to be a competition / fair ). The summit was keeping me engaged as an endgame mode, its losing appeal more and more. Why should someone with less ability win, quite hard to reconcile that one.

I think Trigger might have misunderstood what is changing.

You can already slipstream in all summit events, including skills. I'm not keen on this either, I think it's fine for people to be able to do events together, but players shouldn't get slipstream from each other. In practice, it's only good players who can benefit from this - I have done events with a friend, but he's so much slower than me that there's no chance of getting a slipstream benefit.

What is currently different between summit races and skills is the use of loan cars. If the crew leader has a car, then the other people in the crew can do races using a loan car, but this doesn't apply to skills, so with skills now often needing a specific car, people are forced to buy that car, they can't use a loan vehicle. I think this is probably what is changing so that people can use a loan vehicle for all summit events.

Gaslit by a muppet he's bound to polarise on any detail for clicks, more the fool me. I trust you're thoughts more on this for sure. Quite looking forward to some prancing horse fun today gonna be a long couple of hours this...

Was reading trough the Patch notes and I'm so happy they increased the threshold for Summit Platinum to 15k. It's not huge but there are less players participating in Summit since FH5 came to PS5 and was afraid they would make it even harder. Like they lowered the Platinum in the Crew 2 (XBox) from 4000 to 2100 once the player base got reduced.

Interesting, a friend was doing the last summit last night and he only just got silver (which is changing from top 40k to top 60k), even with multiple attempts at many events. Gold is changing from 20k to 30k, so he would still have been in silver, but it would have been much easier for him to get silver at top 60k rather than top 40k.

I'm still not sure what is changing about the summit feats. We did the escape in a crew so I could show him the route, and it worked fine even though it had a vehicle restriction (but he had the required car). I can only think that the change is that it will be possible to use a loan vehicle, as I mentioned in a previous post, but the wording in the patch notes doesn't obviously suggest that.
 
The new immersive mode itself is great. But what is not great, is that if you switch it off again, all the settings in that category revert back to default. Which basically makes the immersive switch useless. :ouch:

What it really needs is a dedicated button (combo) to quickly switch between immersive on/off on the fly. For instance press both analog sticks + a third button for on/off. And of course remember the individual settings in that category.
