I've watched Me7 and SpeedJunkie and other's videos for braking points or just sheer driving style. Of course, these are consider among the top players worldwide so of course we are amazed. But even as a just above average player I can recognize that there is average, above average, good, very good and then a large leap to seemingly incredible. And that's teh brake from high C/Low B and above. A seems to be (save the cheating) reserved for those who truly get it and can play masterfully. Sure, a FU car is pretty much required to be in A but that just makes sense. What blows me away is when I read about someone who is at the very top of B and struggling for that little more to make it into A --- and then I read that they are doing it with LTS upgrades only and I'm here with my FU/VIP car thinking: Gee, I'll feel awesome if I can make it into B far enough not to worry all week.

Having said that - then I go into OMP and when I'm starting out, surrounded by the loaner car with a bunch of 500 scores and just destroy them. I'm talking coming in like a full minute ahead. I can switch to rearview camera just before crossing the finish line in 1st, not see anyone in my view. Drive a FULL lap and see cars still struggling to complete; that's when I realize. Wow, some people just can't drive. And that's not a mean jab: that's just some painfully plain fact. Even considering the "wow, nify game, looks like I'm in a real car huck huck" factor - if you can't bartely even keep on the road in the loaner - why are you here? And in OMP? The neutered version we have now doesn't even have some "fun" crashes and ramming etc. to entertain.

Hmmm... Not trying to swell my ego (it doesn't need help lol) but... maybe this is how the game continues to survive and make so much money. Guys who absolutely must pay for GC to FU cars so they can have a chance to get to D, maybe. They sure aren't running Endless Endurances or winning WTTT or OMP weekly.

Interesting. All quite interesting.

p.s., as I said, to anyone in D or lower - NO insult intended. If you are having fun, that's what matters CHEERS!
