@Farmingdad - A8 is it for me unless GL allows us to take our existing cars into A10, AX or whatever the next iteration of the game is called. Frankly, I don't care much for any of their other games anyway. As for A9, if I want a "console experience" I could just fire up the ol' Xbox and play Forza! ;) A8, IMO, is less about flashy graphics and more about challenging our ability to race under some pretty ridiculous conditions and circumstances at times. I could be wrong, but I don't get that impression from what I've seen of A9.

I think that GL got many of the past Championships & R&Ds right in terms of being challenging yet within reach of players with decent skills. I recently completed the McLaren MP4-31 Championship for the first time and was surprised at how much easier it was than the McLaren 2018 X2 Championship when both vehicles were configured in the same manner. GL has definitely shifted recent events toward experienced collectors and this one is a good example of dangling the carrot stick way too high. High enough for people to walk away from the start. (Of course we had the benefit of seeing Ruben's video ahead of time before fully committing to the Pista.)

In most cases I could see how it would be fair for players to bring 20%-25% of their own resources to the table in order to complete an event with a minimal tuning. But for a Championship like this one, that requires an exorbitant number of V8s + Tech to win the vehicle outright, either the event should supply more V8s or the minimum tuning to complete it should be lowered to a more reasonable level.

I absolutely concur that we should enjoy and appreciate A8 while it's still here. I'm sure that we'll all look very fondly on this game years down the road when it's gone.

@Laowailong, @SunnyTomato - I started the first tour and it's deceptively easy. If I didn't know what was in store for me in Azure Coast, I might've actually been too far vested in this event. I'm not sure if you already have the AIE, but I've been getting some very useful S-Class parts from this Championship! Ever since the AIE revival, I've pretty much lost interest in V8's and Ferrari's altogether! ;)
