3.3 means maxed out. 2.3 means maxed out stage 2?

Does anyone else find it really annoying that you have to "merge" cars to increase the upgrade level (forgot what the real term is in the game).

Seems a bit unnecessary and don't follow the logic in it

Well the point is clearly to make you try and buy more car packs, as it takes a lot to tune an S/A class car. Still playing this game but getting a bit fed up with it now. Just carrying on as I feel like im one decent car away from being competitive for a while. Given I havent had that car since I started playing I know its pretty unlikely ill get one though.

I've completed the campaign and lost a bit of interest as well.

The only way to be competitive in the Events bit is to buy car packs.

For instance, now, the only way to get red level cars is to buy or save up cash for ceramic packs, but that's near impossible, as the cash earned from doing the events is minimal unless you rank 1 each time. And you need the red level cars to upgrade the purple ones. The gold ones are near impossible to fuse, as you lose your purples, which you will hardly have anyway.

It's like the whole game is built around frustrating you and getting you to spend money! Hardly surprising nowadays.

I don't know how you get grouped in the Events bit. Sometimes it's easy to get top 10, then the next day impossible to beat anyone.

There's a handy spreadsheet there so you can see what cars are worth upgrading/sticking with or shifting on.

Well I’m done with the game. My score in the multiplayer events is now down to 342 - I’m winning nothing in those events, the competition is too much even for my heavily upgraded Caterham and EvoV. As for the campaign, got to 94% and for the past couple of week no further really.

I’d love to start over again taking everything I’ve learnt but, we can’t do that.

The update is sometime in December. Play online, it's really addictive!

How did you beat Monaco 10?

I tried the Elise thing with upgrading it a certain way and whilst I could beat the Sagaris, I couldn’t even get a single star.

I then sold everything (bar 5 Cars) and bought a rack of Ceramic packs. Did quite well from them but not my brightest move!

Race 1
Mercedes E500 tuned max, max, 2.3 this won’t beat the 12c but limits the loss and allowed me to win the next four races

Race 2
Tuned Camero

Race 3
Lotus 340r tuned 2, 1.3, 1.3

Race 4
Trailblazer tuned 1.3, 1.3, 1.3

Race 5
Elise Sport 135 tuned 1.3, 1.3, 2.3

I never spent any actual money on packs, I just went through collecting all cards from each level.

I'm finding this game far more addictive than I feel I should.

I used to then stopped making any progress at all despite having (what I thought) was a good garage.

I'd revisit it but I don't believe you can clear all progress and start again - even if the App has been deleted and reinstalled.

You can't, I tried after I made a mistake incorrectly upgrading the Elise. I persevered though and now my garage is looking much better, still takes a while to get any decent cars without throwing money at it though.

Just downloaded it but still the same.

Jaguar and Land Rover now feature. Got a free Jaguar pack - included a Citroen C1, Ford S-Max, Mitsubishi Colt, 1986 XJ6 and the one worth a mention a 1988 XJR-S.

I can honestly say, if I could restart, I’d spend a modest amount of money on it again whilst trying to get further than last time.

Game needs an extended campaign. I got bored quickly after competing that as it doesn't feel like there is an "end goal"

Couldn’t agree more, I haven’t played it for ages.

The weekly challenges are quite good, but you need a fair selection of cars to get the most from them.
The developer posted on here ages ago about expanding the career mode. It never happened though, despite it being a really easy thing to do.
I think the fact that you won decent cars for free is stopping them. They want your money. Which is fair enough.
