All that I find idiotic about gauntlets is now the case special events. This was a great car - real or not - but the event is designed for one purpose only, and you and I know it is not player satisfaction. Still some of us manage to squeeze through the cracks and win the car with minimal spend. This has been going on for the past year, each new event, LTS excluded, is less to do with racing and more to do with meeting stupid requirements. We respond with our own juvenile workarounds such as reversing and  going full throttle, into the wall.

Each event, the hoops we have to jump through get smaller, and the tricks sillier.... Oh, yeah, it's really a speed snap, but do five skids anyway. By the way, your rival in the same equipment is starting on pole, you start at the back, and your tires are cold... don't worry, it'll be over in a couple of laps.

There wasn't a single proper race in the whole event.

In a curious way, what this event has done is force me to reevaluate my approach to this game. Straight after winning - silly me, make that earning - the car I was thinking: This is stupid, the real cost is time.
