I haven't run the races yet but if I get that stupid DeLorean I doubt I'll play this game again. I like the car tickets but a 6 star ticket shouldn't have a car like that in it. It's like having $2500 or $5000 in a 4 star or 5 star ticket. Make the prizes worthy of the level or tickets for god sake. It's like winning a invite to buy the "special" cars after you have them all. You wind up with no bonus. Rant about Polyphony is over, thanks for these set-ups, I use them every week.
