    Interesting, I think I'll lean to the m3 then even though I'm an audi guy

    WTS? I play sim racers but didn't know about this at all. Will experiment to see if they make any difference or not.

    I can confirm it was 5 and 10 for me, until a little earlier today. 10 for every fifth race. I was on 1.0.0 and never updated.

    Actually get the Audi. I have the both and while its good, it needs long straights to get up to speed whereas the Audi can out accelerate it.
    For example on Melbourne street track, the Audi is the better choice. But on tracks where max speed is a factor, the m3 is better.
    I got the m3 before the Audi and regretted that once I had the Audi.

    Ah, that explains it. I was on 1.0 as well at release but updated straight away to 1.0.1 when it went live, so it changed between 1.0.0 and 1.0.1. Ah well.
    I was wondering how it was happening for you. I believed you of course, I just thought it must be a glitch. That I wished I had as well:)
    But that quick upgrade makes sense as to the difference. The over the air tweaks earlier obviously must have changed it on you unless you've gone to 1.0.1 now.

    There's no guarantee the decision-makers at EA love games.

    I was talking about Firemonkeys, not EA. I made that very clear in the post.

    I think it is fair to say the guys at EA love both money and games. But money >> games.

    Not too shabby at all for free. I know of some premium paid ones that only had about an hours play. Rage (the app) springs to mind. And Epoch.
    Both still great games but too short.

    Someone before this also tried to make a distinction between EA and FM. To me, they are one and the same. Story over.

    Nope, not at all. Wish it were just premium paid and done but not been an issue so far.

    If you are having trouble earning trophies (finish in top 3), check to see if Brake Assist is on High. High brake assist means you won't skid off the track but does add considerably to your lap times.

    Wait a minute, you mean, modifications are being made to the game during its soft launch beta phase?! But I've already spent so much time being angry and passing judgement!!! :)

    Maybe they're making changes because of the backlash...?

    I know, who'd have thought there might actually be some kind of weird, conspiratorial like reason behind a soft launch.
    What are the odds.
