R* has been treating their stupid microtransactions as part of the lore for at least a while. Just look at the Resby livery.

Most of the tracks I have raced are uninteresting, stuffed with too many transformations plagued by easily missed checkpoints, or strange choices. Why does every water section have to be on the jetski? The only one i found that wasn't so far, was on the Blazer Aqua, at which point I had to ask myself, why the hell use the Blazer Aqua and NOT put in a transition from water to land? Or the race where the track splits and a few checkpoints later the two sides have a jump. One jump lands on a nice wide open stunt track, the other has you landing in a tiny little gap surrounded by walls (and if you have a custom version of the car you WILL overshoot the jump and hit the wall.) I'm not going to say the tracks are bad.. and its not like they are full of cockups like the above, they are mostly functional, but they are also very bland. I've raced sale boats. Bland is how I felt about the special stunt races (rocket voltic, etc), found them really boring. But these I;ve been enjoying.

I agree that they may be better than the special vehicle races, just by not forcing you to constantly jump hurdles or spam your boost (not even gonna talk about what's wrong with the Blazer Aqua), but still a lot of these tracks have such a low skill-ceiling that you'll end up just convoying through the laps if there's no catch-up enabled. I can't wait until we get the creator update, that will be when we get to see good stuff.

Tracks are a bit meh to be honest, however I do have to give Rockstar kudos to their propwork with the dragon + boat. Those are cool.
Whatever they tried to do with the races could've been fun, but instead are rather boring. At least this gives us creators some insight on things we can expect with the Creator, such as the ability to teleport. Didn't know that was coming.

Having tried them all the best praise i can give is "decidedly bland"
I am particularly fond of the sailing boat section, in which R* were so worried that we would be unable to handle the blistering speeds around the very gentle turn that they were forced to make the checkpoints two wide, or the Slalom section in which the placement of the checkpoints and complete lack of any props what so ever meen you can just ride your bike in a straight line right down the middle....

I see that the tuneables have been updated, can someone tell me what got released? I'm at work right now and curious to what we get to play with this time.
EDIT: Nothing new, just a change of premium race / time trial.

The Vigilante is looking like the only new item so far. I don't think Rockstar has ever dropped a DLC inside of a DLC before (all this drip feed is still part of SR), so I'm not counting on anything new getting added.

Yeah I meant that they would release at least the Vigilante on Friday and most likely make the old Halloween content available again. Not a full update.
