Up until the purple wrist band it was easy and flowing, win races do the side activities maybe took a few hours, now it seems like I've been doing the same things for days. I've done all the races and now am going back to get gold in the ones I didn't win, but it feels really grindy. I have no new races left and its all side activities, like 50 points here, 50 points there. Is this supposed to be grindy?

I'm playing on the xbox and I don't have XBL, should I buy it? I don't care about playing online for XB and generally play PS5 online.

It's so hot out there my Iced Coffee is becoming coffee.

Looks like there isn't. I don't mind always being online, but is there no single player tournament mode?

The first one i did at the dealership because it was free, but my second just popped up. Can I go to one of those "wait in the car" places or should I go back to the dealership? Changing it myself isn't an option as I have very little time and no space.

Is it a known thing that they will be open or close? Can anyone give me a definite yes or no?

I know its not out yet, but on Series X its still saying I need to buy the spiral expansion. Is this normal?
