I know what ur talking about, I played a guy today who said why haven't I got the Oban 8.0 D driver, so I look but can't find it. The ony driver 'better' than mine was the TS3.
Sure enough in my next game a guy has this driver, he outdrives me once by a a few yards, big deal. So I ask him is it worth the credits - 5495, and his reply was it didn't cost him a cent, all free credits.
Today I managed to lose to a Tour Pro, and deservedly so.
