Daily events

Whilst the weekly event is enjoyable I would like to see a daily event which involved time trials. A one shot track run with some sort of rewards for top percentage. Something like the Pirelli fastest lap tyre. You could also run alongside a weekly time trial event with unlimited tries.

Hi @jay8135,

Would be a cool idea, but quite difficult to implement as a refreshing daily challenge. Also, I fear running a 365-day cycle of new events would be a huge drain on resource and would be repetitive pretty quickly, as we wouldn't be able to make enough unique events for the course of the year.

How about moving featured events to solo mode and give us a new featured event every 3.5 days. This way everyone has a few days to post a score. That would be 104 featured events a year, Between all of the 2020 F1 and F2 cars, the classic cars, all tracks and weather conditions CM would be able to mix it up for us to generate all 104 events. Then give us a 2020 GP or classic GP in multiplayer mode every week. This way we have the featured events to fill the time when we have either finished the weekly event practice sessions, qualifying and running races on the weekends. I've said this before, a featured event is NOT multiplayer mode and should not be in this mode. They should be classified as solo mode. Sorry, but I really hate the featured events and not being able to race against other real players. I can race against the AI anytime. Thank you for everything you do for us and taking the time to read this.

The current solo/multiplayer split is in reality an offline/online split that personally I'd like to see preserved.

Please don't get mad at me! Where do you think time trail mode should be, solo or multiplayer modes? I only ask this because to me a featured event is nothing more than a multi-lap TT that we receive a score on based mostly on time. In TT mode we are list by time and you must be online to have it count, I believe? Therefore this leads me to my question to you above. TT mode would appear in what you call "online" mode. Again, please don't get mad at me. I know that you are well versed in this game and have a going understanding how it works. As I see it, "solo" is single player mode or carrier mode or even campaign mode and "multiplayer" mode is numerous live players at the same time playing against each other. I just don't feel a featured event is an multiplayer version of racing. What I was really trying to get CM to do for us is to give us a multiplayer GP race every week. Also to run two different featured events a week to give us more options and to make sure we can race real people every weekend. I vaguely remember at some point last year we had three featured  events in a row and I almost went nuts because I was unable to race against real people for weeks. I know this is my own fault due to myself imposed ranked room racing ban. Please take care and may you see many checkered flags!

Apologies if you thought I was in any way 'mad' at you as I absolutely wasn't . Just expressing a different opinion.

I understand where you're coming from regarding TT. For me though the distinction is that I don't need to pay for PlayStation Plus membership for TT but I would to access anything in the multiplayer section, including all current events.

Never though you were mad, just a lot of people get hostile when you have a different opinion then them. What you about the PlayStation Plus membership is a valid reason to me. Thanks for the reply.
