Its ok theres a cost cap coming in F1, they will have to respect that right :-/

The cap is set at $145M. I think that EA will be agree to enforce that limit for each user.
This made me chuckle, but I'm now dismayed because I can totally see EA making this some internal KPI ($$$ ripped off per user) that they track the mean, standard deviation, and so on YoY.
Every time you turn left it costs you one corporate coin.

To get an engine you have to get the right loot box.

How could you not enjoy unpacking drivers with randomised stats from a lootbox?!
