Even with skills and practice... there are just too many time-consuming gimmicks in this game. The best examples are the driving missions that make you sit there and watch all the other cars leave before you can start. They could have just had all the cars start at a certain point on the track and it would have accomplished the same thing. I'm 48% complete, and love the game because I love all racing games. But the reality is they went overboard trying to make it an eternal challenge, because eventually you get bored of racing against AI and building up enough credits to buy your favorite cars. Ultimately, it is the online racing that keeps me going back to PGR2 everytime. You can find someone at your skill level any time of day who is ready to race and push your skills further.
BTW, I just discovered this site and it's great, it finally got me past that damned driving mission 23!
