I'm with the OP here. This game isn't fun. Although I don't do them I absolutely get the TT satisfaction, and the joy of a good lap time, but it isn't enough to keep up the grind.

In the career progression, there are no longer any goals. 100%, in any form, is a dream for anyone who started less than 18 months ago.

The P1 GTR was a goal, but "the race" has been removed from play. Every update takes away the small incentive to play. Wild generalisation here, but the cars are "all the same", the tracks are too well known, and it doesn't matter if you are using a Sylvia/Focus or a Sesto Elemento, the experience is almost identical. Very similar braking points, very similar loss of traction points. The only thing that changes with the higher end cars is that the scenery moves quicker. And speed related downforce in F1. That's it. Maybe the Venom is a bit mad.

But the climb through the beginning of the game is fun, and this is where the psychologists have got clever. Play has got a lot better since they opened Legend at level 50. You can now get to the 10 lapper at about 138 hours. Trouble is, when you get there, there isn't much to farm for. The Gold cars are all unattractive in terms of effort/reward. They don't take you anywhere interesting. More gold from the Richard Petty car? Maybe, but the "next big thing" needs to be big, and not just rain effects.

WRX, pretty please, with topography and jumps, for rad air.
