There have been some surprises in that way before. And speaking of before, I honestly can't recall the loaner car ever being the best of the three so I felt my call wasn't entirely irrational. In 20/20 hindsight was it wrong? Duh! But, frankly, i do not read every word of/or every release note. And I'm fairly certain 99% of RR racers don't know it (or this wiki) exists. We go by history, and history has pretty much assigned the loaner as the freebie to keep noobs happy and the upsell models are to it's right. The best being usually the latest, but occasionally the middle choice.

I totally own up to "acting rashly" but I still find this GC-only and not the best in WTTT event to be new and hopefully not the start of a trend. I didn't say it's absolute or that the highest is always better - I just said it was probable, so it might be reasonable to wait, what will be the track and how will the cars perform, before upgrading. And I know, the most of the players don't follow wiki etc, I was just surprised it was you who was writing this..

On the contrary, I find this as a negative for FM, not for players. If FM would make sure, that the new car is the best one, they could get more from people upgrading their Honda. Now, many of us just used already upgraded Mercedes and didn't bother to invest more into the new car.. So this new trend is a benefit for the most of the players (not group A/B players), to have a chance for higher reward, even if they don't have the new/best car.
