Observations from Esports (don't worry, no spoilers!)

      I'm pretty sure FOM don't tell EA/Codemasters not to fix bugs that are apparent in the eSports races...

      I have enjoyed watching eSports the last couple of days though. I wish it ran more like anormal league though with one race per week over a longer period.

        Barring the bugs, I agree, it has been mostly enjoyable for the last couple of days. I wonder why they've changed the scheduled?
