I don't know what this says about me....
My favorite events are the 'Rapid Deployement' ones for the cops. They are the most punitive of the bunch. It's a simple time trial with every driving error punishing me by adding between 2-3 seconds on my total run time. 2 seconds for crashing/scratching something in the environments and 3 seconds for hitting traffic. A full-on crash of course is doubly devastating, since there's the time penalty and it takes its sweet time until the car resets on the track.
I think I love these the most, because I'm a little OCD and really have to get a nigh perfect run. The controls are super sharp, I'm always in control, so it's a task worth taking. There's some risk managment involved too, with planning ahead for curves I can't see into. And taking the right shortcuts. Just being the most badass and perfect racer I can be. At 300+ kph, especially highways get super dangerous, with lots of traffic flying at me - weaving into the horizon.
It's kinda arcade racing purity. It's all about the track and the traffic and my driving skills. Outrun times Infinity. Achieving the perfect flow and rhytm is the goal. The game gives me all the right tools to do so too. And yeah, no pleasure without punishment!
