@FE - top 2,000 is going to be tough for me with my current setup, where every hundredth of a second really counts. I started low last night but now I'm sitting at 1,200 already. Granted, I'm sure a lot of players have already ran a couple laps in the cup. My position isn't sky rocketing at the moment, we'll see. Earlier today I would have possibly beat my current time, but messed up on the last dirt turn before the final straight away through the tunnel, lol. I go right at the start through the first tunnel, versus left. On the third jump when you fly over the cliffs, I haven't done that at an angle to do a barrel roll yet. That would save time keeping the jump low. Also, I decided to blow past the final huge jump rather than hit that low, however, that was my run I screwed up on at the very end. I wonder if that would have made my time better, it's so hard to know and I can't do a perfect run often enough to find out! I haven't spent tokens on fuel refills either. I'm sure guys are out there spending hundreds.

I wish there was a top 5,000 spot for BPs in this cup. Even if I don't make top 2,000, at least I will be that much closer to assembling  with 16/20 BPs.

Every single time I have to drift for turns, I lose time compared to the keyboard/controller players such as yourself. I can't wait for my setup to change to see how I do in TLE times.

Vulcans still give me a run for my money in 1562 Hommage. Must be a combination of their TS and accel. I'm worried about matchmaking if I bump accel for 1569. I believe your input on the matchmaking, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. If matchmaking stays the same, I will surely benefit from it.

Still wondering about 1680 vs 1562 matchmaking. If matchmaking is better at 1680, I could possibly get higher rating even if I have to deal with Vulcans. Right now they are the only thing that causes me problems at times. I will give it lots of time before I even think about tuning to 1680 though. Especially if I'm going to be able to obtain the SIN and/or AHGT soon. I just love that Hommage though. Perhaps if I risk points I would avoid being a victim of the bad matchmaking. I'm going to try that out later today.

As you said previously, I have my mp4-25 @1600 to fall back on. Plus, I have 7 CREs in inventory but haven't tuned past 1600 yet. I do run into other MP4-25s tuned atleast to 1650, maybe even 1680, that give me problems at times. It's rare though. I do think the MP4-25 is more dominant than my Hommage atm though.

I think YOU should tune to 1680 so we can see what the deal is first hand. Might be a surprisingly good move ;)

I hope GL comes out with a future update that allows people to tune their vehicles all they want. It would make players so happy, they'd probably go out and obtain more vehicles. It would also bring new players potentially but certainly make the game last for a long long time to come. After someone spends 15,000 tokens on a vehicle, they should be able to do with it what they want. Heck, charge 1,000 tokens to return a vehicle to stock or something if you don't want players to have free rain on tuning. There's an idea for making money. I should email that to them, granted, someone's probably been there done that. Or, let people purchase some sort of "tuning pack" from the shop that allows them to either return vehicle to stock or change their tune 3 times, for example. Perhaps it wouldn't be the biggest seller but I guarantee people would buy a tuning pack from the shop or pay to have their vehicle returned to stock. If you lost your PRO upgrades as well that creates another reason for people to potentially purchases boxes from the shop, so they can tune their freshly stocked vehicle.
