Press Releases - The MRC Landscape

The MRC Landscape

Firstly. BlazeFP. A chap I have known for a long long time in this game and collaborated with on a few occasions, namely the founding of Windsor Alliance Racing in F1. Sad to see you go pal, but you sound like you have your reasons in check!

I've seen a few people asking the question about where MRC is or isn't going. And I don't think there is any question as to MRC faultering, in my opinion it is stronger and more popular then ever, which is great to see!! I think we all need to manage expectation, this game is independently run and privately funded for the most part, by a very small team of enthusiasts. And I think the top managers and the more regular users, myself included, run the risk of desaturating a solid game by overplaying it essentially. I was guilty of this too, a few drivers ago I was in every conceivable single race, every private race, every forum, and it did lose a lot of its allure for me. There is undeniably a balance for this game, remember, it is free, and still growing, the people behind the scenes have lives to maintain as do all of us.

That being said, there are a few minor tweaks I would like to see, as I'm sure we all would, nothing is ever perfect, and the tweaks I would make would please as many people as they angered. You will literally never please everyone...

I don't think the question of "What are we doing wrong" needs to be asked, I think it's more a question of individual managers own expectations. MRC doesn't advertise itself as something it is not, if anything it under-sells itself, as there is a lot, lot more to this game after you scratch the surface as a rookie. I am now on my 4th fully fledged driver in 6 years, after taking all of my previous three (not counting one test driver) into the World's Top 100 ranked drivers. This was a serious grind, and it was varied on all of those occasions thanks to the way the game has evolved in those years.
