So i thought I'd raise 2/3 topics in one as the titles describes. I'm enjoying the game but these questions and a few others already mentioned have me a little worried about the end game. I played TC1 for well over 200 hours.

QUESTION 1 : Game difficulty, so far all normal races are easy even with stock cars. Then I thought to myself I'll try a difficulty set to hard race with a car 30 points below recommended and whilst it was a bit more difficult i still won a few races with a car under ranked.

Will there be any other difficulty levels other than normal and hard? In TC1 the faction missions I believe scaled to your cars rank to give some level of challenge even though they we're still fairly easy but if you crashed a coupel times you could lose those races.

QUESTION 2 : This brings me onto my next point, where is the challenge? So far it seems like a very easy and accessible pickup and go race game but it is very little in way of a challenge from the AI cars. I know i can pick to race on hard with a recommended level of 230 but try it in a car with rank 180 but that should not be the only way to get progressive challenge out of a racing game surely.

Other than racing is there other challenging content like faction missions or summits? Leaderboard climbing personally doesn't interest me but i guess is one challenge you could keep racign to compete for top leadboard spots. Is there any others that people are aware of that maybe i have missed?

QUESTION 3 : Max Car Ranks, is what we see in game now the max ranks for cars. I raised this on someone else's post as well and not had an answer and it groups well with teh above to difficulty/challenge questions.

Will we see max car ranks being increased with fame level or something similar? Most cars have a max car rank of roughly speaking 280. In TC1 this is currently sat at 1499. A huge difference in car progression. In TC1 you had to level up each car individually or pay for parts if you had already maxed out a car of it's class. In TC2 max ranked parts can be shared across cars so you don't even have to level up each cars stats once you have a maxed car.
