Well the multiplayer seemed more reliable tonight.
Also the new single player events are.. there.. I guess. Still just as frustrating, don't really feel all that new - they don't even use the new (excellent) Scottish track (at least the ones I've done so far don't).
The BMW drift event was maddening - I eventually got it, only to realize later that X isn't the handbrake, Circle is.........
The little renualt is kinda bonkers.
