SunnyTomato: Yup, I think the only thing that A8 players appreciate about the game is that GL didn't dumb it down like A9. My impression of A9 is that GL is trying to change the experience from skill-based to Mario Kart-based. Even Ruben is showing some rust with A8 from lack of play. I remember one of the big warning signs about A8's future was when DDR was having trouble with some of the AIE R&D tests. While the Centenario might be a better handling car than the AIE, I think GL made its R&D requirements disproportionately more challenging than the AIE's. I don't see much value in this R&D other than its resources. Just another one of those "Nothing to see here. Move along now." events.

I think noobs don't have an immediate choice for getting a top vehicle with engine cards without having to clean bank. Fortunately for them, this car isn't junk at MAX+PRO like the Pista. The problem is that this R&D makes it excessively pricy in comparison to the two other top cars in the game. So if making this R&D "easy" means clearing out all of one's resources to Auto-Pass and to buy a bunch of QCs, then it wasn't necessarily easy. . . just way too expensive. An "easy" R&D would've permitted for a much lower tuning to clear the Final AI for better MP-tuning versatility. I think that's the real headline with this R&D.
