Anyone else playing it?? Canada is not elegible to qualify,but there are cars to be won,and it looks like we might get a new track (Twin Ring Motegi) .

The Nissan Leaf is a boring car,but the Silvia is fun.I guess at some point a GT-R will show up, and maybe a the Juke-R.

I'll go through the challenges just for the fun of it - it's unfortunate that Canada can't participate fully, but it's not like I would be anywhere close to qualifying.

As for the weekly tests, the bar is set pretty low - it's more of a marketing gimmick than anything else to create some buzz around the game. The 'real' qualification begins at the very end.

Next two tests are available. I haven't had time to look at them yet.Too bad Canadians do not qualify..
I enjoyed the first two.Had no problems getting gold,but didn't spend hours trying to pick up a tenth or two.

Yep, been playing it. Pretty fun. Got gold on all of the events so far.
