User blog:Dutch Leonard/2020 going forward

Conventional Wisdom (another name for Paulo Damien) says that it is better to pay to upgrade your car in a Special Event than pay for skips. So can one expect that fully upgrading a car will make said Special Event a walk in the park?

My own personal experience should have told me no. I have a huge field of rusting hulks in my Events Archive. Many are upgraded to all 3's. The events weren't fun to run the first time and weren't any better the second time.

So what possessed me to fully upgrade and VIP the Agera RS? Well, I play for hours a day, although that is coming to an end hopefully if I am being restored to health by the grace of modern medicine. I've given plenty of money to the game to hopefully have that "NOT YOU" setting removed by the game controllers.

I watch all the videos by Jan Real and ME7. Don't usually duplicate their driving, though, but not from lack of trying. Unless, well, we can't say such things out loud. It simply isn't done.

I have been disappointed before by fully upgrading a car to find it is not faster and does not buy me better times in WTT.

There doesn't not appear to be bot control in SE's, and if anything it's the opposite. The goalposts just get moved farther away. Weerts is a darn good driver. I am not and I died at Spa watching him pass me over and over again.

So when Aggressive Ambition is added to the Event Archive, it should be at the front, the most upgraded car I do not own, a monument to my optimism that I too can win without cheating.
