I posted videos of the more docile bots on my message wall here: Message_Wall:Racer_KCain10r

As you see, if you view the two videos, the bots behave more like they used to before the McLaren update. V 4.7.3 seems to have reinstated their prior behavior. I wasn't running with assists before the update, so I can't speak to that, but there seemed to be plenty of drivers who did use them who can and will comment. Interesting that I saw some comments above that they learned do drive without assists and may not go back. I do feel it gives the driver more control and when you harness that control, it is very useful. But, I do acknowledge that there are situations in which assist can ... help. Some comments I read indicated that assists can keep the tedium down when racing 10 laps on Le Mans. Personally, I don't have the EC and EK 10 lappers unlocked and I may not for some time. I win cars and take breaks from racing, so I don't have much time to go through the Legends Career Series. I do have a 7 lapper I unlocked with the GTE-Pro cars, and the 3 lapper with the Regera car. Maybe soon I'll unlock the CFS and see how it works with the F40. Anyway, as for the free 570, I don't want to sound like sour grapes, but is that car worth more than nothing? I got the free 675, upgraded with discounted BRL only and I'll probably run it until the PR stops me in the career series, to milk out some gold, but I'll probably never run it again, after that... Again I will acknowledge that there are those whose goal is to own all cars and the way FM does things, it can make it expensive to do, and then when some have a setting switched a certain way, and they win a different car and upgrade it to a 'certain' level, and they hold their mouth right.... they get a free car, it can be frustrating. To be fair, I think the setting is, "Share usage" and FM did say it would award based on their server data. If we aren't sharing our usage with their server, the criteria won't be met, because it isn't in their server... I know it isn't much consolation, but maybe the fact that I didn't get the free car will console some out there..

Race On! Happy Motoring.
