  The menus of this game is a good example of UI design that *looks* good, but doesn't convey useful information. Specifically, understanding which event you're participating in, how many races you have left, and which track you're racing on, is a constant source of confusion.

  The PS5 version was free with PS Plus, and supposedly, it runs at 60 FPS. We shall see.

  It runs well on the PS5. Fast load times and solid frame rate. I'm starting a new save game from the beginning, as there wasn't any obvious way to import save games from the PS4 version.

  Got the National Amateurs Champion trophy. - Feeling down after learning that most of the old guard of Giantbomb is leaving the site, I played some mindless Wreckfest for hours. I'm playing on NOVICE difficulty with all the assists turned off.

  I figured out a way to cheat and make loads of money in a custom event, so I can buy a new car.
