Very proud right now as I drove 300 miles today, punched my wheel twice, cursed a bunch. But I got it!!

Yeah, not to belabour the point but like I said I agree with the premise...I just think if all you did was remove the rentals and leave everything else the same it would absolutely crater the participation numbers in many of the events. You'd need to adjust the economy a bit as well.

(I think a lot of people would argue that grinding certain races repeatedly isn't "actually playing the game." For me, actually playing the game is doing laps in the TTs. Running Sardegna 25 times in a row to try and buy the car I need to take part in the TT is grinding. It's not such a huge issue when there isn't really anything specific in the game other than just collecting the cars that forces you to grind. Once there IS something in the game that forces it, then it becomes more of an issue.)

It's an issue for having more fun with more cars to drive. If there was less boring grinding time.
 
Back to Sardegna and the Z4 was proving a bit of a pain, having been away a few days I was 3 tenths back into Silver and just seemed to really struggle wrestling the plucky little Beemer around a clean and relatively fast lap, corner entry was eluding me and I would understeer off here and there until finally, I hooked up a decent lap and narrowly missed out on the 39's. I'll probably have to go back which is ok although this TT is one of those that I need 5-6 laps on just to get in the groove each time.

I usually try to put in a time in the low-2% before I can be comfortable that I've secured Gold. Was able to do that with the Z4 at Sardegna last night. I've noticed that it usually takes me the 2nd day of trying a TT to secure Gold, so I think I'm gonna start using the remaining days to try and get between 1.5% and 2% as my new ongoing TT goals.

Before I do my runs today again, decided to do some IRL driving for a bit.

Made me wish that at some point, PD would bring back the 5th-gen Prelude for a TT too. I'd be so stoked. 😁

I had half an hour before dinner so I had a quick session at Fuji on my old account running non VR. Looked at a leader replay and discovered they were using full wets. That hadn’t dawned on me as being an option as I used a rental last time that was configured with IM as standard. :banghead:

While being rusty with flat screen, my braking is improving and I think it’s easier with W than IM.

This is faster than my VR account so now I need to try there again.

I still don’t like Fuji. 🤣
