Quoted for the truth. SBMM has it's place but it shouldn't be the defacto matchmaking. SBMM was introduced as a way to increase enjoyment and stop noobs getting stomped but all it seems to have done is make sweatier lobbies. Sure in the (original) MW and MW2 days you'd get stomped occasionally but equally you would occasionally stomp too so it all evened out.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 186 seconds  

That is good news! Now my hand is mostly better I’ll be getting back on this and fancied trying to gold the Nord.

Nice! I hoped on for 5 minutes the other day just to check everything was up to date and I could remember the controls etc. and then spent 30 mins just flying around in space blasting asteroids 😄 We'll have to arrange a day sometime to see if we get a group of us on. I don't think everyone is on PC so think the limit is 8 people for consoles but should still be good if we could get 8 of us.

I enjoyed Motorsport Manager on mobile for a bit. It is (was) quite simplistic in some respects though and I lost interest eventually. Hopefully this been a fully fledged game it will have more detail and more nuance. I’m surprised at the trailer though, if it‘s due out in the next few months that it would involve some actual gameplay.

I played this quite a bit when I got my VR. It’s great what they made the game in to though it does get lonely doing it all single player. It would be cool to get together to try multiplayer at some point. In multiplayer, I believe so.

Completely forgot to reply to this. Depends on date but yes, I’m interested. I can’t do the weekend of 24/26 June or the last 2 weekends of July but so far free the rest of the time.

It was a good night of racing and I think we had 9 or 10 racing so a good field 😄 We definitely smashed it, like Paul did to the walls around Tokyo 😄 I’ll arrange another one in a couple weeks or so, give everyone time to practise 🤣 I have a new found respect for the circuit experiences. 25 million credits from all the ones I’d done. Then went and spunked a lot of it on the Gr2 CLK and McLaren F1 GTR. It’s great seeing more Gr2 cars in this over sport. We’ll have to have a Gr2 race at some point.

No more sexy time? 😭 Sadly though car, insurance, tax and server renewals have all alligned for me this month so no new games for me. I do want to get it at some point so will have to see about joining the next event 🙂

From Faze to FG, you're going up in the world 😄 Nice to see you on the forum mate.

Damn! Increasing rewards for circuit experience after I’ve done most of them 😞 Still positive changes over all and I look forward to earning all that extra moolah.

Nope, there’s no option to sell any car. Just the option to remove it from your garage.

I mean I'd rather have 2 Pagani's than no Pagani 😄

I think it’s more points for Haas than the last 2 years combined! Magnussen was definitely the stand out for me, I don’t know how he didn’t get driver of the day. Overall though some terrible luck for Red Bull and brilliant luck for Merc. Merc were way off the pace though, being 40 seconds or so off the leader at the safety car. I hope they can get on top of the car and make it a 3 way battle but that’s a lot of time to gain. It was great seeing Ferrari on the podium again. All those years watching Schumacher I can still hum along to the Italian national anthem 😄

They didn’t universally slash prize money but they did rebalance it. Prior to the update a number of 1 and 2 lap races paid higher than 5 or 10 lap races. So they reduced the short races and buffed the higher. It does mean a reduction in how much you could earn per hour so while the rebalancing I agree the payouts are still low. I also agree with Yamauchi about not playing the same race over and over to farm credits. The problem comes that after the cafe books the amount of credits you can earn does reduce. So with the FOMO with the limited offers, or having a £20mill car so early in the games life, it is going to push people towards micro transactions. On the balance though, the games has been out 2 weeks so I find moaning they can’t buy all the most expensive cars already ridiculous. There should be an element of earning credits and having to think about what cars you buy, especially the exotic and legendary ones. This is on top of that the numbered GT series have always been about the grind. Buying some second hand shitbox, racing it until you can modify it to do some more races and afford a slightly less shitbox. Rinse and repeat until you can eventually buy a shiny new car. Forza Horizon is a perfect example of going to far the other way. You get given so many free cars and money that you can get gifted the best cars almost instantly. GT sport also fell in to this somewhat with the gift car for the daily marathon. There’s also the element that people seem to focus on the game is complete when they finish the cafe books. Ignoring all the additional races the are available at the tracks. So in summary, the payouts are a little low and there isn’t as many races as I thought there would be. But I think they’re a knock off a point or 2 off the rating rather than the bombing it’s had and overall I’d still recommend the game to anyone that’s a fan of the series.
