I know, it’s just a game for F sakes but it’s the first time I’ve done it since the update. Managed to (just barely) win my next three to sit close to top 300 and now I’m afraid to play again. Know the risk and the feeling. Was over 1,000 Wednesday. Got hammered at Suzuka last night and fell back to 870. Got most of it back just doing Melbourne this morning. I find OMP the closest to real racing as it can get in a game with the new update. (excludes being rammed or ramming into somebody). It i fun when you are less then 10 yards behind or have somebody within 10 yards or less on your tail and you feel the pressure and know you got to get all the corners spot on. Melbourne this morning got 3rd in 1 races and 1 to 4 were seperated by less thne 10 yards. . I lead 4 different times. Major fun that race was

That kind of racing is exactly what I’m here for. It was damn near impossible before the update and mostly a matter of shunting them before they shunted you. While my rank these days is generally no where near what it was, it’s great to be able to play it as a straight up racing game and not worry about all the extra strategy that was required to win. Less guilt when you do too. The only thing I miss is the variety of classes and cars but apparently they’re fixing that in the next update.

I played for a fair few hours and kept my rating over 1000 the whole time. Then I went back in when I was pretty much half asleep and lost 205 points in 2 races. At least I have no one to blame but myself though.
