Yeah, you want it to be a little challenging. It's more fun that way.

The endurance race was really good having to chase down first place. Glad they brought the endurance races back

I did that one no too long ago and messed up my pit timing and never regained my position. I think I finished 4th. I haven't had the drive to sit and do the race again yet. It was fun though.

Oh I tried it and completely forgot to look at the gas gauge and ran out halfway through lap 14. Couldn't get back to the pits so I had to restart lol

Yeah jump up to a higher level. I'm still running 3-4 seconds faster at the second highest level. At lower levels it's significantly easy to pass everybody on the first half lap of the race and be in first the whole time, while being at the higher skill level it takes a lot longer to get around everyone, sometimes 3+ laps.

Yeah I have been using the one mod to start further back which made it interesting but after upping the difficulty and adding faster cars I can't always make it to the front fast enough. Especially on the city tracks. Hate those tracks.

Tuning really is key

Lol so far I haven't even modified any of the faster cars. All I've had to do is just lower tire pressures which is insanely helpful. Once I start upgrading cars I'll have to relearn all of the tuning stuff again. Good thing I have a bigger tv now!

If you are finishing top 3 without modding the cars to the upper limit of the class you really need to turn up the difficulty.

Yeah I'm now on expert and still finishing in first but it's much more difficult now. If I don't get out of the main traffic jam by the first lap I won't get first. It's much more challenging now.

Also this is still the career mode. Not free races yet. So the cars I pick are usually in the top of the allowed class.
