OMP. Changing it so that you can't collide with other players by ghosting their cars clearly demonstrates that FM are (for once!) llistening to the customer base but I see it as a half-way solution. As already mentioned by a few people, it will no longer be racing (Real Racing!!!), you can't (fairly) block an opponent and there'll be no need to properly judge and line-up an overtake. Essentially, people will very quickly ignore the other cars and the "races" will effectively become time trials!

WTTT. I like the current format with multiple events where you can offset a poor time in one event by doing well in another event. And I'll really miss the repetitive "I'm in group B in all events but group C overall, why?" questions and answers! The groupings will be like the recent one-off TT events. I suspect that the loaning of cars will vastly improve the participation which (like OMP) is what FM want to bring in more advertising (i'ts all about money people) but it will only improve participation up to a point as you'll still need to (fully) upgrade the car to be competitive so I don't see it making much difference to the top groups. I think the off-track/collision penalties (as opposed to FAILs) are good ... I always abort a lap if I go off-track as my speed will be different for the next corner AND I won't know if/when I go off-track again ... but now I will know so I'll probably continue, it should speed up the time taken to properly learn the lap and record a good time.

I wish they'd fix some of the customization issues e.g. separating the rotate and resize controls.
