Perhaps it sounds like I'm bi*ching and whining but there's pretty much nothing I ever complain about in this game, just this nonsense with let's-give-short-races-to-race-cars-but-long-races-for-street-cars thing 🤷‍♂️ FM is doing great stuff in many aspects (That whole MotorSports switch, for example, is plain awesome) and I will shout positive words for everything I can. Same with any of negative stuff (AKA justified critique) for what they deserve.

I pretty much don't care about cost because that thing is simple to deal with - either get a car or don't - and I unnecessarily over-upgraded (FU'd) plenty of my cars just for the sake of joy I'm getting out in return. And that's one fair deal, IMHO. Was anyone forcing me to shell out 355 just for the E6 upgrade on my Spearhead? Nope. I did that fully rationally for my own enjoyment with my favourite race car (in real life and in both racing games I actively play - iRacing & RR3). But I did it during its LTS before I even saw races in its series. Got quite disappointed, naturally, because in return I got way less than I expected (based on its cost, cost to FU and previous GTE series such as that previously mentioned GTE-Pro: Chevrolet and Porsche which is magnificent). And I don't talk about rewards or fame/lap - I talk just about quite weird absence of long-ish cup races. So there's an insane beast - Silvia R3 Spec on steroids, waiting to be unleashed and give you (too many) hours of joy - and there's... almost no track to properly run it 🙄 Pretty much a plane on a very short runway.

I like GT racing, and GT3 is my favourite racing class (followed by that sweet good old GT1 from the '90s and GTE/GTLM). So when I saw that IMSA is coming to RR3 I got pumped and (too) happy, so instead of being cautious and keep my expectations very low I forgot to listen Public Enemy's words - don't believe the hype - and got utterly disappointed after I saw that failure of 2018 Season (IMSA). And I snapped at that point, primarily because I want that beautiful Huracan GT3 (and my goal was to immediately FU it), but then I did some analysis… And realized there's nothing there be looking for because, once again, endurance cars are getting sprint races (whoo, surprise 😒). So, uncanny or not, I just find it extremely bizarre 🤷‍♂️ So now what? I still want that Lambo almost as much as I wanted the RSR '17 (THE reason why I started to play RR3), but I have to spend ~850 for what exactly? Oh yeah, I remember - for 37 laps 😂 So about 23 per lap for the first run to 100%. El oh el.

But it is what it is. And I complain about it because it makes no sense to give four excellent machines and that BS of "races". Just like it would make no sense to come with the WRC group (or any other rally form/name) and WRC cars and then fill that series with Monza Junior or Dubai Oval (🙄) tracks. Or, idk, a whole Formula 1 group with its series full of races at rally or monster truck tracks. Then again, it's FM in question so that seriously wouldn't surprise me at all 😏

I just hope they will fix that in future series because that, in its current state, is one massive logic fail 101 🤷‍♂️ And I have any right to complain about it, IMHO.

Tl; dr, I know, sorry.
