Why is it that a new X2010 with 0 miles has a higher PP (980) than the same car but with an oil change (977) or the same car with a few hundred miles on the clock (972)?? ie. as the hp goes up, the PP go down!




Sorry for the crappy pic quality - only have my iPhone on me.

Perhaps as PP are there as a racing restriction, it's to encourage you to lower the PP as far as you can by running in and keeping fresh oil in the engine???

Deleted my post. Last time I'll listen to a teenage "gamer" working behind the counter at a major electronics store...he had mentioned something about not being able to "cut the corners" for the Vettel Challange - which are apparently almost required to get the Carbon X2010.

Looks like getting Bronze on the Vettel challange just got easier, but getting Gold stays the same.

Glad the updates look promising.

So is the remote racing for b-spec only if you race against your buddies? I tried starting a race but the button didn't work. I thought the point was that you could manage long races from other locations?! Anyone tried it out yet?

Yeh this looks like another pointless feature The exp/credits rewards are apparently tiny too.

Anyone noticed that driving the X2010 feels completely different now after the update? It's less of a handfull and reacts quicker in corners... Bronzing the Vettel challenges was super easy! :-)

I guess it's a form of Hp/weight ratio?

How did you beat them? I keep getting my ass kicked, losing 2+ sec/lap...
