On balance I think the change is good/will be good - but it will certainly take some getting used to and some managing. I particularly like that you can get gold, and that they're offering bonus fame - this is a big win for people later in the game.

I like that there are days when you don't have to race your "big" race first (ie days where you get R$ or Gold).

BUT - on those days in particular you have to make very certain that the game has preserved your previous progress. Since the June update I've had an issue where sometimes when I come back in it doesn't have any of my progress from the last session (even if I cloud saved!).

So I always need to make sure that when I close down for the night that on re-opening the progress is the same (and obviously cloud-saved).

My concern would be that I will lose the bonus gold for the day if it turns out I have to restore from cloud to get the rest of my progress back (as happens when you claim you weekly bonus from the time trial then have to restore - it doesn't remember that you essentially haven't claimed that).

Worse - is that the bonus doesn't trigger a change in the "game save" state- ie if you saved just before going offline the previous night then when you open the next day and claim your daily reward - even if that reward changes your amount of R$ or gold - it doesn't see that as a change sufficient to allow you to save again.

I joked elsewhere that the trick was to just service your Silvia - only issue with that is that you cannot service a car that is already fully serviced. So the other trick is to ensure you always have one car in need of some kind of service. Fortunately today my Focus was in need.

I'm not sure why the payouts are different for different people - I wonder if it's a function of progress (% complete) or garage value (?) or the length of the 100% run you've been on (eg have you missed any days at all in July? or June? or May?).
