I've played for a couple of years now, and have all the cars and tracks - too many hours running EK at LeMans for some of that to happen. And yes, I have made some purchases of GC a couple of times when the deal was good enough and I could spend them carefully for months.

Actually there is a parallel to actually getting out in a racing car, which I did for over 30 years. You start out, and with basic skills and a little bravado you can get to the front of the class pretty quickly. But the further along you go in clubs and series the more difficult it becomes to even place, let alone win. Guys with more money, more skills, more car, and braver than you. That last part of course we don't worry about in a racing game, but the rest of it is true. Somebody above said it best - the last 20% is the hardest, and if you want this game to be at all like really racing, then that should be the way it is.

I tried the on-line contests once, and realized that there were way too many idiots out there to just crash other cars and generally be an ass. On a real track those guys get weeded out quickly, here online that ain't happening. So I gave up on that, and stick to being as good as I can on the in-game play. I play less now, but still enjoy it when I pick up the tablet.
