That's so true!

It essentially becomes like "King of the Castle" at those levels - all about defending your points and slowly crawling up the League as you progress.

But the only problem is the low ranked competition who will more than likely eat you alive and drain away serious points. It's especially rare to meet anyone in much higher ranks and even if you do, you can't afford to slip up.

I lost -22 points in a takedown by an MP4-25 at the Great Wall once, and at the time, a bug gave me an extra Ticket - I had initially been Free Racing - and crossed the Finish Line thinking I'd still be safe even if I came 4th, but nooooooooooo.

So from what you're saying, you've gone all the way and MAX+PROed your IE? I hear it's still pretty good even then, but like I said before, it's down to skills. Oh and a little bit of luck, I forgot to mention. It's like the pitfalls for the Beast Alpha, the R8 SE and the MP4-25 for example. They shine at certain levels but if you fully upgrade them, they only become useful for TLEs.

My IE is tuned at 3505 5055 (rank 1695) and it works absolute wonders in MP. Mainly eats Carrera GTs, Beast Alphas, R8 SEs, RX-8 SEs, MP4-25s and Vulcans for breakfast. The odd SLK SE, Hommage and X2 do put up a pretty good fight though. So I will keep it as it is because the competition is decent, but not impossible to beat,

I'm contemplating my options for the Pista when it comes out, but most likely will start off with an MP tune and see how it goes. Fuerrm says it goes almost as fast as a MAX+PRO Vulcan which is good, but perhaps not so much in the face of IEs and X2s which are much faster.

It's a generally good rule of thumb to see how other players are faring when considering going the MAX+PRO way!
