How can we go now and drive the Etype or something of similar speed without the boredom of falling asleep. The MP4-X is so off the scale in terms of realism that FM has lost the meaning of the game, REAL Racing! Nothing real about this car. Are they losing players in large quantities, and they have to make up unrealistic cars to pacify players? We don't know, but taking ads off the players who can not afford the time and money is idiotic.

Exactly. Whether or not RR3 cars when upgraded are realistic in figures or not, they all start with real stats, and in a vacuum, are still generally within realistic distances from each other when equally upgraded. Physics have some realism to them, etc. The MP4-X just goes so far into fantasyland *above* the other cars (within the RR3 vacuum) that it is unrealistic not only in baseline stats (because there aren't any) but in how far ahead of other cars the gap is. My personal prediction is that this car will in long term decrease customer satisfaction as it now renders all the real cars slow and not as fantasy-superhuman. In other words, it loses the plot.

Even hypothesizing on its marketing figures, 30 PR above a base F1 car, really? Even that seems ridiculous. And even if not, it's still nowhere near verified.

To those who enjoy it, more power to you and keep doing so. But speaking personally, I see it as a new low in gold grabbing from RR3 (jumping the shark into pure fantasy land for a popping smoke effect, not to mention on a car used in one small series against just itself).
