It was the only way to be competitve because the Vanquish, which I own and had fully upgraded is on average a 4th or 5th placing car. I would never buy the Jag otherwise. It looks like this is what thery are going to do; provide the 3rd fastest car free and make the users pay to become competitive. I'm not spending $160 a week (over $20 a day!) to play this game. Especially since I still don't like the format.

A suggestion and a couple of observations.

Use the ghosting feature to get the races started - take it through the first corners to avoid the sh*t shows they have become then remove it and let the race proceed as it did before the update.

Yesterday I was beat twice by people who had hacked the car or the time so that problem hasn't been fully eliminated.

I also noticed it was slip & slide Tuesday....couldn't get the car to grip for sh*t. Usually that disappears later Wednesday or at worst Thursday. I've noticed it enough over the years that I swear it's programmed in.

Also I'm now starting in last place for every race. But the car is consistenly a faster accelerator than all the competitors so I end up in first almost immediately. Strange.

Keep forgetting to sign in.

I noticed the starting placement as well. I thought it was random but after starting in last place, over and over, I realized it was based on score. Drivers with the highest scores are in back and lowest scores are in front.
