Just starting the Domination championship. I tried giving the new system the benefit of the doubt and at some point even tried tuning a car myself according to restrictions but it’s incredibly limiting. There’s practically no wiggle room, very little freedom with what you can do there. I’ve been spoiled by FH3 (PC player new to the series) and while I don’t expect events to revolve entirely around the player like they do in Horizon, I think there could’ve been a good middle-ground to its system and what we have now, which feels far too restricting. Races are starting to feel like a chore.
Side suggestion: Along with introducing more lax restrictions, setup a system where parts for non-open event cars can be purchased at discounted prices. As of now, it feels like upgrading has taken a backseat to the rest of the game.
