This. Forza 5's career mode broke me because each race was completely unconnected; score at least half way up the pack to progress, no points, nothing on the line. I just got completely bored. I wish more semi-serious racing games would stop making you have to win to proceed and just let you win or lose. I was going to get pcars2 until i read a review that you have to finish top 3 in a championship to progress. There's an old game called Nascar Dirt to Daytona which is happy to let you stay in the shitbox dirt oval league and never make it to NASCAR proper if you aren't good enough consistently.
I don't even care about real teams and drivers, just recognisable names and rivalries to make each race matter would be nice.
