But without the rest of the players, the overall reward will never be met. Should've introduced a brand new car nobody had, then the participation rate would be much higher. This car has been in this game for ever, from what I understand, and can be bought relatively cheaply. Combined with the miniscule rewards for doing 450 laps, what's the point? I did the first challenge (2 laps) just so I could watch progress. Not wasting any more of my time on it.

I have been using the running of this event as training. I pretty much have shaved about 20-30 seconds off of my Brands Hatch time from the first runs in the event until now. I am consistently running in the 6:30's with an unserviced, R$ only Veyron. Brands Hatch is a great track to practice entry and exit from all different manner of corners. Up until now my attempts resembled the proverbial chicken without a head. Now my laps actually look clean, crisp and controlled.

I am consistently lapping the second place car, though it isn't going much beyond MerryGold and _TheFreak_. At that point, you have to lap them by your lap 9 to bring out JimBling, and if you do not lap the second place car in the next race, Jim takes his Veyron and heads home.
