The cups in the series are all 4 laps plus, I think the cars look sexy, the cars seem to be fairly closely matched, I can't seem to find any glaring ommisions in new tracks, you still get fame for running the events, heck you don't even have to put up with the b.s. hunter, speed snap, etc. events if you ran them with the Porsche. So, what's the beef? I'd say it's the lack of any additional GC rewards to be gained if there were a new Series or 2 offered.

But, I suppose this is just another in a long, long string of reducing rewards for players while requiring more and more R$ and GC from players, just to keep up. It's not really all that surprising any longer, almost expected really. That's unfortunate. The series is solidly mediocre. Almost nothing to make it stand out from the other motorsports series. 5 lap races are decent, but common. After you finish the series (or if you've already finished it) which races will you come back and repeat? What reason do you have to get more than one car? There are only 2 races in the series above LTS PR. There really needs to be somthing more where we can enjoy these cars beyond the current release.

The cars are likely great - most of these GTE-type cars are the best in the game - but the seires lacks variety relative to the other motorsports series. the 2016 series is the gold-standard in motorsports and maybe in the whole of the game. Not every series can be the best, but look at the variety and length in that series. 14 different tracks with 6 laps or more - 11 of them at the series max PR - and over 100 laps total in those races. The series also has a nice mix of short and long tracks.

The 2019 series has none of those qualities. only 1 race at max series PR, only 1 race longer than 5 laps. half the races in the series are shorter than 5 laps. only 52 total laps in the whole series. These are complaints I have about many motorsports series - but adding 3 new cars with no new content and (asking users to plunk down 900 GC for the privelage) is very poor form. The developers need to give us a reason to care.

The real problem is the difference between "car collecting" and "car racing." I want car racing and I want something different/better than I already have.
