Small but important gameplay changes needed.

on one thing i agree... There should be a selection to play alone but on the other i don't agree. They will just simplify the game and ruin the fun. Even tho i'd like an option to save handling configurations it's a bit lazy to actually feature it. Everyone would just drive one car and don't bother ever doing some handling or playing and fidling with it. Like this they discover possibilities an such. Remember the more you hold the gamers hand the more lazy the gamer becomes. Games shouldn't hold your hand. There should be some neat things like teleportation to the race for those who are somewhat lazy (i drove to all the race points and going back and forth to the garage to take my drift car for drifting races).
If you give them option to chose car at the race event then you lose the feeling of garage being your home to your cars. 
If you give them option to change handling at the race event or on the fly... They won't go to the garage. It will again make gamers feel garage less of a home for cars but just uneccesary addition.
The more game holds players hand the less value stuff in the game will be worth to the player. Think about it.
Just like in the real world do you know what would be neat? To spawn the food i want right in my hands. I want to eat pizza "zzzaaap" pizza in my hand. I want to drink coke "zzzaaap" coke in my hand. If you could do that then cooking would lose it's value. Nobody would cook anymore. No more rituals of good smells while cooking... No more preparing your stomach to disolve delicious food while cooking by smelling the food and making you even more hungry... If you catch my drift! 🙂
