Top Drives - mobile game

[robemcdonald]

Is anyone else playing this? It appeared on the App Store this week. Endorsed by EVO. It's a bit like top trumps but with simulated races.

It's actually pretty addictive and free to play, so worth a look.

As you progress it actually gets pretty tricky.

My lack of performance 4wd cars is a particular problem as more and more races are off road. I hadn't realised there were so many dirt and rally cross tracks in London.

Ok. So ave started with the modification side of things.
This really is too addictive.

Can you change tyre types?

I found the key to success.

When you get to 3 stars on an event. replay it until you have collected all the bonuses. When you get a higher level you can then go back with better cars to easily win events you previously struggled with.
The key to getting better cars is winning against the "bosses" as you then get their motors.
I am still enjoying it, but do wonder how some of the players in the online bit managed to assemble their garages.

Lots of other factors seem to play a part too. For example ground clearance is important on city street for speed humps.
The match making on the multiplayer is fked up though. You keep getting your arse handed to you by the same person.

The best I got was a ford pick up.

D'oh

I beat Monaco. I can't remember exactly how, but having the 12c makes life a lot easier.

These are the ones that baffle me.

[robemcdonald]

Wow. That's not something you see every day. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to ask questions.

I have completed the single player part of the game. is there any plans to add additional rounds? I could use a few more "boss" cars.

Ps any chance you can sort me out a Bugatti? As a favour?

Fingers crossed.

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.
