I know, right? I always try to get the rivals event out of the way first, and when driving the Rimac for this one, I was like "what's wrong with the sound?". I didn't realise that the Rimac is electric, so I really buggered up my first lap attempt because it's just so weird to not hear the car. For my second attempt, I turned up the sound so I could at least hear something, and I managed to get a halfway decent lap time. The other weird part is that my rival for this was JonDewonSong, and somehow I beat his time by 11 seconds. I'm a decent driver but I'm not at his level, so he much not have been trying very hard for me to be able to beat his time. :P
I also had another strange experience with the community route championship. I normally enjoy A class races, but not so much on tarmac. For this race, i used a slightly retuned BMW M5 FE. It did fine on the first 2 races, but the third was a mess because of the rain. I still technically won it, because I finished the race in 1st place, but when I crossed the finish line, my car just stopped and sat there...no race summary or all the usual things that happen when you finish a championship. The environment was active (wind and rain) and you could still hear everything, but all of the controls were dead. I let it sit there for about 10 minutes but nothing happened. I was forced to restart FH4, and of course, I lost all of that race progress, so I'll have to do it all again.
This season, I'm not really in any big rush to finish everything, as I already have most of the cars designated as rewards. I'll go through it to get the Ghibli and the Fiat, and maybe the '04 Impreza (already have one of those), but I'm not going to be a stress head trying to get every challenge completed.
