Drift Meetups: Make tire wear optional, and change scoring to best lap

As the Title says.

Going for the longest drift chain is fun and all, but I’m more interested in what my best lap is in car A vs car B without needing a notepad to keep track. For me personally as someone who like to compete with themselves, or did like to try to beat my own Leaderboard scores from FM4-FM7, I think best lap is the best way to go.

As far as tire wear, I’d like to run more than 1 lap on fujimi before needing a fresh set, because sometimes you’re in the groove and then your tires die out.

Best drift chain can be fun, and if possible would still like this in the game, but the lobby leaderboard should still be best lap scored in my opinion. This is even more annoying to deal with as sometimes when you cross the line with a big chain it takes that score and then keeps it for the next lap instead which can lead to some pretty absurd scores being showed as “Best.”

Completely agree. Meetups are supposed to help dial you in endlessly. Especially with tuning and driving alongside others without risking any safety ratings. Having tire wear defeats the purpose as you’ll never know if what you adjusted in your tune was bad or if you were just losing traction from wear

Tire wear at most should be optional. Points should be best lap as well, as it would more align with atmosphere the games trying to create through rivals and being competitive in multiplayer.
