Plowed through more races today. I’m alarmed to see that not only have I not lost a race yet, but I haven’t actually finished in any position other than first. Even after crashing. Hmm.
In an effort to improve the credits I get for each race, and to make it a little harder, I had a tweak with the difficulty settings, and now I don’t get any penalty for easiness. Not that it’s made much difference. In fact, since changing that, I’ve have the achievement for winning a race a whole race section ahead of everyone else.
Anyway. I’ve done all the races in the Proving Grounds now (having to buy an American car – I plumped for a Ford Focus – to enter some of them) except for the final series. I need a heavy car to do that, and since the required weight is about 1750kg and my heaviest car is only 1450kg-ish, and I can’t afford or haven’t unlocked anything heavy enough, I’m stuck there.
So I entered a few amateur races, hoping they’d be a bit harder. But they’re not. My current car of choice (the Focus, which I’ve tarted up now) is up to Class A, so thrashes everyone else who is still C or D.
Tried playing online again, but still no joy finding a race with low enough cars, and setting one up myself resulted in someone joining, saying “What? No S? Weak”, then quitting.
Turn off TCM and SCM, put damage up to Simulation. Make sure AI is on at least Medium.
It’s still pretty easy, mind, but in a good way.
I’ve done all that, and I’m still tearing through everyone.
I know I could just choose a crapper car, but still…
