I agree, it's a bit tight.
What do you suggest for a 3-stage, ~20 minute event to span day wise? Assuming we practice prior of course.

3 days would be good i think? Seems like the right amount of time.
I need time to practice to be fair - loads of new updates for DriveClub on PS4 that I am loving...so that and FF7 is swollowing my game time, but if I knew I had 3 days to complete an event I would be inclined to put the time in.

Yeah sorry I wasn't home Friday/Saturday. I actually really wanted to do Pikes Peak because I'm not bad at it, but anyway I hope we do it again some time.
I agree on longer events but not less service areas because you use the crew from career to fix your car from what I can see. So by making it less service areas you give a big advantage to people with better service teams.
Also agreed on restricting it to one car and indeed Stratos in snow would be a riot
See you in Finland!

Alright great, looks like leagues will now be balanced since Career Engineers (team from Career mode) is disabled.

Hmm that's weird because there are threads on codemasters forums about it.
[SUGGESTION] CAREER & LEAGUE SERVICING SKILLS
Do you have any links that confirm your statement? I couldn't find anything.
All I know from a screenshot from a league event we did on 2015-11-27 was that Owned Vehicles and Career Engineers wasn't there.

Looks like it requires some serious time to get to grips with it. Get yourself a PS4 and DriveClub if you want a challenge. I

ITT: People with social lives try to play a league with someone who games 40hrs a week.

So, game is too hard. Buy console-toy and another game if you want hard? Err.
And quit my rally-sim for a console game? You should get a Mr Whippy van, having so many lollies to flog.

It's not pick up and play. It requires some time to really nail down how to deal with the sim aspect of it, with the mechanics at the pit stops and other shit like that.
It's Christmas and without sounding like an arse, I've got better shit to be doing than spending hours on a game everyday.

Oh, be fucked. It's a 20 minute event, sans practice and giving a shit about results, which nobody should be anyway.
Tossing out the 'playing games all day' line, when you own multiple sodding consoles and in the next breath, mention other games you've bought makes you sound exactly like an arse, Donaldio

.
Thing with DriveClub is, is that you can set up multiple events at once and you can try them as many times as you want. So you get your practice in as you put your times down and you can track your improvement.
If there is something to play later, I'll give it a go. Once. As that's all you can do by all accounts. The last time this happened I went off on turn 3 and that was that. Seems a little pointless.
