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.

Not just me then.... I’m last on the grid just about every time. So who the heck is starting in the top three? Whoever they are, they don’t win too often.

Back in the day I’m pretty sure it was first come best dressed; ie, the faster you rejoined the track, the more likely you were to get pole.

The slip slide thing, yeah sometimes the brakes will fail (one time they even full locked putting me in reverse. During OMP.  While running second) or the throttle won’t register. Bah.

I haven’t seen any ridiculous times in any of my races. You know how sometimes the starting timer goes off again during the race, I think that is some racers coming in late. You’ll notice that you get quit outs shortly after. If they don’t, I think their time is taken into account and placed in the standings later.

One more good thing I noticed, the wait times once you hit the track have gone way down.
