I’m wondering if FM’s interpretation of their listed LTS completion PR is now going to be the minimum PR required,and does not guarantee winning the car at that PR level.

Any thoughts? My thoughts are they keep using Daytona and Bathurst speed snaps/records in LTSs to force servicing, since many people just zip through LTSs unserviced, which is presumably not what FM want. I also imagine that the bot difficulty is not set using the same upgrade tree as a player has, but probably a more simplistic method (like X% of the max value). Since these events essentially are just a measure of top speed, if the bots have even a little advantage, it becomes difficult. On normal events, any advantage the bots have is masked by their crapiness, but at Bathurst, very little of your speed is determined by how well you take the corner.

So, my take is that this isn't a nefarious plot by FM but unintended consequences of their desire to make races that can't be won unserviced.
