I fought to get the last tenths with the Formula E, which got me into the better half of group B. I had fought the same with the 919 at Spa. Both times I felt at a disadvantage to people with more coins who drove FUed cars, but at least, I could compete. I was told that, though outclassed, the Pagani did well at Dubai, so though it was just R$, I worked my way to group C. The car is likeable and I felt my driving could make a difference. Mount Panorama ? It is one of the circuits I really enjoy, but honestly, what's the point? I'm 32 seconds away from the best time... Get Radu Tan in it and he'll beat this time of course, but he would do what? gain 6-7 seconds ? That's still 25 seconds off, ensuring that no matter what the rest, there will be no GC for 4 weeks. Even for him. So yeah, Am I going to spend more time than the 5 minutes it took me to get a decent lap with low brakes and TC on? I don't think so.

So yeah, I walk out of this one... I have been playing for 14 month, and I think I am not doing so bad, having now 162 cars out of 182. I have a thought for those who started after I did. These people have been kicked out of WTT rewards, with almost no hope of seeing them again. Their hope is even slimmer than mine and I deeply regret that. Upgrade borrowing enabled those with enough speed and dedication to have built a small reserve to compete. It was "let the fastest win", even though it was not perfect. I do not want to shun the good drivers who make it to group B, but I want to state this : they don't deserve half the credit they deserved when they did the same while upgrade borrowing was allowed. Back then, I was between B and C, and I dare think I have made progress since then. Right now, I am in the middle of group F. It is killing me, because the one interesting feature in this game for me is that one, it is the one that made me become a better driver and get rid of the assists. It is just broken now. An average driver with brakes high TC on and FUed cars will make it to the GC while good ones are out and I dare think this is effed up... I sometimes think about leaving the game as what it brings to me most these days is frustration, but well, team events and special events such as flashback ones that I immensely enjoyed keep me there. For now.
