Talk:SCG 003S (Championship)/@comment-26536836-20180929011152/@comment-34600274-20180929234036

GL raised the bar on Championships ever since the X2. At least back then it was doable for most players with good skills. This 003S is completely out of reach for anyone just starting out in the game. Maybe GL wanted it that way so those people would immediately move on to A9? Who knows. But for this particular Championship you really need to have the resources readily available at the beginning so you can make the most of tire refills. There's no room for error when you have to wait 3 hours between tires. Obviously you could spend tokens on a set, but I'm assuming that most noobs wouldn't even have much of that to spare anyway.

I stockpiled a bunch of V8s from the last McLaren and Zenvo events so I was itching to "spend" them on something. Thankfully that stupid McLaren World Tour was designed so poorly from the beginning that I didn't even have to waste anything on upgrades. And the Zenvo was... well a pig, so no love lost there. That basically left me with a lot of V8s and this car, which I actually like the most among the three V8s despite hating the Championship itself. GL is definitely trying to drive noobs away from A8 because they've been doing some really stupid things with it in the past few months.
