Its not impossible for newbs to win these. I was winning big league races in my 1st month here. Only thing that's going to make you better is track time. I ran that race with my newest hire, no specs at all. Cant just randomly show up at a race and expect to win, get on the track and do your homework.

This is the bottom line here: it's down to player skill. And I still remember when PA first started playing and almost immediately was beating everyone, even those with higher skill gangers. I'm middling at racing myself - I can manage mid-tier laptimes - even when I had really high skill gangers.

You're the boss so what you say and how you setup events is the bottom line. PA is/was a skilled race car driver in real life so he already has an advantage over the average player. So I'll say my point was missed completely and make it a agree to disagree.

A second no qualifier event could have been considered with a lower tier prize so the the non vets without track skill could have had a shot at a nice x-mas present.

Santa was not very generous this year.

Have a happy new year.
