I hate games that make you 'unlock' the cars. If I paid for the game, give me
ALL the cars, dammit...

If I were in charge of design, I wouldn't have you unlock cars, but it's
not a big deal. I unlocked the RB4 and FX0 within an hour of playing,
IIRC.
Drive really fast.

You don't have specific goals to achieve to unlock the cars, you just
accumulate points. The better your results the more points you get, but you
can get them in on-line races too, so as long as you finish 3rd or higher,
you'll get the points sooner or later.
Considering your reputation for finishing races, I would think you should be
able to get the points as quickly as the next chap on-line, and the AI
really aren't that hard to beat as long as you don't crash.

If it's as rigid as LFS, I think it's a bad idea, but if it's as fluid as
GT, I think it's brilliant, because you can tune up a car you do own to race
better cars in the same category. The rules aren't so rigid.
It's the same with story based FPS games. If you get stuck on Half-Life,
you're stuck completely because it's 100% linear, but if you get stuck on
Deus Ex, you can take care of a secondary objective and find a way around
the problem.
It's all about the implementation, not the concept.
Pick a 3 lap race at the shortest track, place in the top 3 to accumulate
credits and after a few repeats you will be able to select the RB4... after
that you will have no difficulty getting the rest of the points needed to
unlock the LX6. Please try it and I'm sure you will agree it was not any
problem at all ;)
