Slowing bots down 'til even my blind granny could win...are you really having fun in what you're doing?

True - I didn't get every free tournament car so far, but plenty of them. BUT I always had plenty of real good and close races against strong bots...that's what I call fun, guys.

It's not about ability, it's about gold. The TSM is designed to keep increasing the difficulty until you can only win with a fully upgraded (or very close to fully) car.

I am 1 upgrade short of fully upgrading my Ferrari F40 and I run the 4 lap LeMans race full out, no slowing down. As long as I make it through the 1st lap without major damage, it's pretty easy for me to win. But a few crashes and I have to race dirty to win.

The NASCAR series seems to be set up the hardest yet. You have to race very clean AND have a fully upgraded car to win. There's no easy way to get from 43rd to 1st and take out 1st for the lead, so it's clean and skilled racing with all upgrades or nothing... or you slow down the bots.

So the question is, do you want to spend 50,000+ in gold upgrades to get at your cars fast enough to win clean??

Gold upgrades are nothing in the first couple of series, but they are brutal in the last 3. Let alone that there are now many cars that cost 500+ gold. Last engine upgrade for the Toyota TS040 is 720 alone!! Or how about the Lamborghini Veneno; 900 gold to buy (720 at 20% off) then 2,105 in gold to fully upgrade.

If you have the farming time or the actual money required to buy all upgrades then that is awesome!! I would LOVE to drive many of these carse fully upgraded. I won't pay $119 of real money for 1019 gold again and again. That's why many of us work the TSM formula to our advantage.

I always race the last race of a series full out. After a series is complete, I often go back and repeat races full out just to have more fun and get the bots harder.
