This is how it should have been but it is not the case. AI is still braking and doing silly "mistakes" from startline to slow us down while the +120% boosted leadercars rockets away. Just like in Horizon, and this is the point where FM is the furthest thing from any form of realism.
I highly doubt they are programmed to purposely slow us down. I finished up the V10 series last night and didn't experience anything that made me think this was the case, I fell back in the beginning due to having poorer acceleration, but eventually caught back up to the leaders and came in 1st and 2nd in the last two races.
Indeed! Hopefully, T10 would update the Porsche 956/962 in the future to maybe add official parts from other chassis in the future, maybe add more racing cars with optional modifications.
I can see them creating a TransAm division once they'll add at least one free car (with the Camaro being a likely candidate). I will also be absolutely unsurprised if they'll add other, non-paywalled P3s in the coming months. As for Supercars, I figure it may be hard to get permission to use the name when they feature cars that are, at this point, two generations beyond current. Maybe one day they'll add Bathurst back, maybe we'll see the ZB Commodore, if not the Gen3 Camaro and Mustang.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! It's everything @Kelpy D and I had hoped for, and more!
Thanks for the reply. Thankfully a few reboots and logging out/in to my MS account on the PC solved my issue.
Played since FM1. I have never once had the thought that they were purposely programmed to slow us down. I have no issues with winning or at least placing in 90% of my races.
I found the Lola to be the better car out of the available cars for this series.I generally`rent`all the cars one by one that are allowed in a series and try them out before spending my credits.I found the mclaren T163 to be fast as but a bit unstable for me,the Mantra and Nissan more stable but I wasnt able to string a decent lap with them.
Im with you about Maple valley but I'll take it step further and say I hate maple valley. Everytime I see it come up in the career track rotation I literally get mad and do it anyway uninspired. For me its just pretty to look at and thats itI found the Lola to be the better car out of the available cars for this series.I generally`rent`all the cars one by one that are allowed in a series and try them out before spending my credits.I found the mclaren T163 to be fast as but a bit unstable for me,the Mantra and Nissan more stable but I wasnt able to string a decent lap with them.
I put sports tyres onto the Lola and I felt happy with it,seemed to stop ok but cornering a little iffy.
I play on XSX with controller.
To add,I went back and replayed this tour using the Mantra.Not quite as fast as the Lola but so much nicer to drive,doesnt excel at anything but does everything it should,if that makes sense.Still a poor finish on Mapel valley,ive never got on with that track since it appeared in the FM series.
So once you get the Mantra it's eligible for this challenge? See that's screwed up. I didn't get it until AFTER I had finished the challenge. So they make you spend credits for a car for a challenge if you don't previously have one that qualifies. If I had just logged on and ran a few free play races would the car pass car still have dropped? Or does it only drop after you've ran that week's challenge?I found the Lola to be the better car out of the available cars for this series.I generally`rent`all the cars one by one that are allowed in a series and try them out before spending my credits.I found the mclaren T163 to be fast as but a bit unstable for me,the Mantra and Nissan more stable but I wasnt able to string a decent lap with them.

AFAIK cars from car pass drops without you needing to do anything really, its just a matter of when the game syncs your profile with their servers. So anything that you do that updates your data and force the game to sync it will see that you dont have the car and the game will give it to you whenever you go back to the main menu. So you could do a race, buy/tune a random car, paint a car or update your driver suit and once you go back in the main menu, the car pass drop pop in message will appear.
