It's funny, I was stuck on that stupid series for, I think, a whole week. Today I've been back to blowing through menus. What a RIP.

At least I finally got my R33 GTR.

Yeah so I'm WAY better with braking now that I have the wheel. I don't oversteer anymore, but I understeer like crazy... problem solved? lol. It feels way more realistic though when I crazy and so much more dramatic. I can save it though sometimes at least.

Alright so maybe I judged too quickly. I've done a few more events in the rain and grip seems much better.

In defense of the "roulette ticket" system I managed to win 500,000 credits with one last night. Other two tickets I cashed in where the lowest payouts. But this is a little more promising.

Anyone else find it odd that there is only one Mazda prize car?

I've only gotten a "top prize" from a ticket once, and it was the 500,000 bars.

For Mazda, I've seen two: there's a racing spec Miata and an RE Amemiya RX7 FD.

Roulette is such a waste of time. I'd rather they just give the lowest prize every day when the daily goal is hit instead of watching the stupid thing spin around just to give the lowest prize every single time...well...1 time I think I got an exhaust for who knows what vehicle (I'd rather have had the 5,000 credits on that 2* ticket).

I'm OK with it but if the odds are 20:1 of getting the $5k prize then there should be 20 $5k spots not just one. At least let the wheel reflect the true odds.

I think I might record when I open my 5 and 6-star tickets to share the disappointment. LOL

I don't know if it is coincidental or not, but I found that if I do the daily mileage by doing races I've done already and/or doing the same race over and over, I tend to get 1-star tickets. However, if I'm doing races/things I haven't done yet, such as the missions, then I tend to get 4-star tickets or higher. I got the 5-star after doing the last two missions in a book, one being a one lap passing mission, and the other being a 30-minute race. The 6-star ticket I got after completing the final championship.

Missions and book stuff are higher star tickets but they are in addition to the daily bonus.
