You say LTSs take more time, but that's balanced by less effort. After all, the only reason why you need time is because there's just so many races (15*3=45 v. say, 24 for MB CLK or 31 for C11), not because they're so hard. For the record, other than the very last tiers of the recent LTSs, I can't recall the last time I had to repeat a long-distance race (not AC or SS - and even those are done in 3 goes or less).

Theoretically, decent skills should get you through an SE with roughly all 3's, but that hasn't been quite the case lately. I ran the C11 SE with 21/28 upgrades (I think it was just 1 PR point shy of rec'd PR for last stage or thereabouts) and got stuck on rigid speed/time goals at the penultimate stage. Decent skills are often not enough to push through an uneven, underthought SE. Sure, early stages can be a breeze, but of late, I don't think there was a single SE without a major hitch deeper into the series.

Don't get me wrong - I'd love to get more SEs rather than batch after batch of boring, undemanding LTSs. But if these SEs are going to set goals that take days to meet and force me to meet them within hours on a workday - thanks but no thanks. Let's not kid ourselves - we're not talking about "bare minimums" here, people are coming marginally short of the suggested PR, or even have higher PR for a given stage, and are still seriously struggling to get through. I'm all for the game pushing us to work harder on our skills, but having to run 40 speed snaps on the same section of Nurburgring doesn't lead to better driving - it leads to higher cortisol levels.
