Yikes, I'm not satanic. I'm not even going to go into a discussion of my screen name, but it's tongue-in-cheek.

I don't consider 13 laps exceptional. I would like to pull off something crazy like Me7's 1000+ miles. I cannot fathom doing that in one sitting, and yes, I'm aware he takes breaks, and comes back to it, but that's the definition of commitment. The thing is, I earn the same amount per lap whether I do 3 laps, or 10 or 20, or 50. So, what I've been doing lately is instead of grinding and sweating and my heart pumping wildly through each chicane praying I don't hit another vehicle, or a wall, or go off track, is to just run the race comfortable, collect, hit "retry" and run it again. Unserviced. By the way, those 13 laps were with traction on, SA and BA on low, manual gas/brake (B). If I am pursuing a high goal, I pause at certain points, disable everything, make my cut, pause, and turn them back on. Figured I should explain that. That is probably the ONLY way I can do it. I've tried perpetual at this track with this car with all assists off and I have never succeeded. I alluded to this in a conversation with Me7 a while ago, and I'm sure he even remembers it, because he said something akin to "I never tried that, but I will". IF you're reading this, did you ever try that, Me7?

Anyways, off to actually play the game for a bit. Maybe I'll record a vid for you all and show you where I pause, and where I resume. It's more pain in the rear than just running 3-5 laps, and then retrying. No servicing wait is nice. I only spend gold on fame and R$ when I am attempting perpetual, otherwise, I just drop one gold per race for fame. Each level up returns a little profit, but al I am concerned with for now is hitting "Elite" status so I can collect double. (BY THE WAY: To those that said I hack, if that were the case I would be WAYYYYYY past level 132 by now. I have so many incomplete events and series, I won't get bored anytime soon. A full garage? A distant unobtainable pipe dream for me. Not sure I would want that anyway. I love to beat a game, but I hate it as well. It's like, well.... is that all you got? Meh...

Later, dudes. (and dudettes)
