Annoying flaw in single player career!

Let me ask you this other way around. Forza 6 doesn’t allow you to progress to the next race in the series without winning, aka being in top three, what’s the sense in that?
There is no sense in simulation nor general motorsport standpoint since being left out of podium in a single race of a long series, does not mean you cannot continue and try to do better in the next one. I just simply don’t understand the logic behind this system and that’s it.

Good solutions for fixing this has already been stated here and I hope Turn10 will listen to them. Of course rewards should be higher when you reach the podium, but just like in real motorsport, you might do a mistake at the start which makes everything harder for you and therefore even 4th or 5th place can be decent place considering mistakes you made. You just get less points and move to the next race to do it all better instead of banging your head into invisible wall.

Little bit off topic but I’m gonna say this too;
As of right now, there is really no ‘carrot-on-a-stick’ to make me wanna restart the race or try again if I fail to make it to the first place or in top three, because you don’t even need any extra credits etc. in this game, because the game gives everything for you on a silver platter. Basically you can buy any car you want in the game almost any time you want which makes it a little dull. For the record I remind that I’m talking about ‘single player career’ here, there’s no progression because you can just do it all, in any car you want, right from the start. Simple changes would make it a lot more interesting.
I love the way Gran Turismo / Gran Turismo 2 worked back in the good old days. You first had to buy a cheap used car from the marketplace and start to progress yourself trough the series, earn licences, save rewards and use them correctly to progress without bankrupting yourself. In my opinion it was great. It doesn’t have to be that ‘hardcore’, I’m not sure if I would even like it today’, but I think it’s not fun if player gets cars and credits free and all the time.

Just some random late-night thinking here…

This is a game, not real life. This is not a full on simulation…but even then most simulation games require some form of success to progress.

This is a game with a target and difficulty settings. Sure in real life some drivers, teams get to come back next week even if they finish last or even DNF. But once again this is not real life nor a sim.

I guess where I can coming from is this is really a request for a different “feature” not a flaw. The so called flaw of the OP can be worked throught by setting the difficulty to provide a challenge to podium.

Preferences are preferences, flaws and bugs are something else.

There’s nothing stoping you from buying cheap car and progressing. So you want to be forced to buy cheap cars and progress. But you don’t want to be forced to podium to progess.

I agre with the OP a long way.

I really wish the economy system was better, credits are to easy to come by, they are kinda obsolete.

Also I wish the AI would be more aware of the suroundings. Not nesesarely faster ( I wouldent mind that too )

I am not the fastest guy out there. I can uasely win Pro - Unbeatable. Depends a bit on the track / car combination. For the most part I try to win on unbeatable. Sometimes I have to make it a bit easyer especially on tracks with many narrow sections where passing is imposibel.

But if the AI cars would just stop to brake check, side swipe, dive bomb into me every single time I am trying to overtake them, that would be a lot more realistic. Maybe with options for longer races, as many of the races are too short. Ii ts sorta imposible to win them on higher dificulties when trying to drive clean laps. Only way is to just brute force my way through the field, wich is not really fun. and also has the downside of giving some people the habits of driving like that when they join multiplayer games.
