Today I turned on GT5 to see the news that GT will be giving away the X2010 if Vettel wins - and to be honest I was outraged!
I personally, am an owner of the X2010. I spent many hours earning my right to drive the car whenever and whereever I like, and to hear that GT intends to let anyone have it defeats the whole purpose of the car!
The Red Bull X2010 is the "Shiny Charizard" of the Cars world. That ultimate vehicle that turns everything into a cakewalk. A massive part of the entire experience is EARNING the car. It's illusiveness. The fact that starting out you have to stay on the track, and can only drive it on 3 of them. YES it really hard - but thats the idea! You get it near the end of your career, when everything else has been done.
My major frustration is that this car used to be something. It was special. I could be proud to say to all my friends " I won the X2010", and a few others would know that feeling. Once upon a time you could enter a Free Run lobby to show off your 2010, but soon this car will be dead to me.
Yes, I was hugely proud of my achievement - and Yes i know many wont ever get the X2010 - but just because it's hard doesnt mean those who can't do it should just be handed it! Then there is no point in the challenge!!!
At least those who can't win the challenge still get to drive the car, in a limited kind of way , at the right level! THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE!
For me, being given the X2010 will ruin a large part of my GT5 experience, and will also remove the magic of getting the car fo so many others.
So i beg of you. PLEASE DONT DO IT! Find another prize to celebrate Vettel

Yours in extreme outrage.
