    Level, but it after many GL revisions, it's a very minimal change from the early levels to level 85. It used to be pretty significant, and you could grind a lot of credits at the higher levels. Now, it's less profitable than just grinding on the later season events (though still far more interesting).

    I made it to the barrel roll ramp on the upper left of the final straight away with the Lykan, but that's the best I can do.

    its easy for some of you older players to complain because 'nostalgia', but any new player will get discouraged as soon as they meet the survolt wall. the accel crashes almost any car, and without boosts, its a no-win chance; (assuming the survolt knows how to drive).

    so i upgrade my car, or use tuning kit to protect against nitro wrecks, and then im facing even faster cars! the survolts arent default/stock, they have upgrades too; so it's a war of escalation. i mod my car, and then match against higher mod cars. i spent 2 weeks, and 82 levels pre update (insomnia helps my gaming) and at 1600+ the matchings are ~100 above me. i can win with boosts, but suppose they use the same boosts? i lose to escalation, and the frustration i almost quit. the day i reached 1700 i lost 60+ points due to mismatching.

    however the matching formula works, there doesnt seem to be enough higher rating players running similar rank cars to match them all together.

    Spent 5 hours and a double credits boost playing biome season 9 to buy and max the roadyacht for today's TLEs before I realised its on borefest mirage lol, not a fan of the map at all, mainly coz of the lack of jumps I guess.

    Was trying all night to beat 55secs on biome Dubai and only managed 55:026 (no boosts), unfortunately I set my ghost at 54.something with the extra tank after playing the night before after TLE fuel ran out so its not even showing. Anyone hitting less than 55s there without boosts?

    I try to keep my ghosts boost-free but that's a few have crept in after TLEs lately, venom being another one I'm not too happy about although I don't think my time is great anyway and might be able to beat it unboosted if I give it more time. Usually try to stick to Gallardo and lately biome season 9 maps for credit farming as they allow for mistakes which inevitably happen playing repetitive long sessions.

    I run with boosts, but I, like you, like it this way a bit more.

    Took delivery of the NISMO. At first, it was a chore to drive — slow, poor handling. I did level two upgrade across the board and it's pretty swell. You can really lean on it; the handling is predictable and solid — tight, not twitchy. Off the line it's kind of slow, but I like the way it gets on the nitro at speed. Fun car. Didn't lose many MP races, but that was with nitro and tuning kit — not all cars were running those. Never got beat by a Biome, which was nice.

    Thanks. Season 9 seems to be the best for grinding. I'm trying to get credits to upgrade my Biome and you know how that is... although I was hoping I might find a class B upgrade in one of the multiplayer win streaks. Haven't seen any so far.

    Yeah, I think it's just credits along with C and D Class upgrades for MP rewards. Also the occasional nitro starter.

    I don't have all the cars maxed, so there might be some other solid grind events in season 9 that I'm missing, but my favorite is the Sesto on French Guiana. 70 seconds or so for ~4,600 credits. :)

    Mine's the F12berlinetta in the great wall. 68 seconds, approximately same credits. P1 in the Rose of the Desert is good if you can handle the obscene amount of traffic.

    I love racing with the P1, but that traffic gets on my nerves when grinding. That's precisely why I like French Guiana so much. No traffic. I can basically run that track with my eyes closed. When you're monotonously grinding credits, it's nice to have a run that you can do without much concentration.

    The Pagani Huayra season 9 event in The London Eye nets you 4900 credits in about 55 seconds. It's the best one to use for farming purposes, as the track is very easy, and the traffic isn't excessive.

    How bout the MC12 race on season 9. You earn 5,100-5,200 credits in 1 minute. Btw the Furai will be up for grabs in a division cup on Monday.

    I have tried to keep my ghosts boost free whats you game centre id?

    I felt the same when the double tanks came in, Drivers that were stuck in the low 100s started moving rapidly up the rankings, I managed to work my way up to the top 10 from 50ish at this point while not using my tanks, apart from on days when I had them equipped for winning cars.
    I was never getting to race similarly skilled drivers, just noobs in Survolts, who although were in faster cars were easy to beat. Then the "at least one point for every win" thing came in and I realised that it was game over for me in MP, as it was more about time spent playing, than winning all your races and never loosing, to get to the top.
    You need to be a decent driver to do well in MP but it has always been more about tactics to get to the top rather than ultimate skill.(I know this because I got into the top 10 when I am really only a top 500 driver) but what I wish for is a level playing field form of mp where it is only about the driver skill and nothing else. The MPtle gave me hope for this but the grindging element and the time of the tournaments wrecked any hope of that

    Season 9 biome for me; you get 5000 around an avg 56secs..
    Also you can win even after wrecking 3-4 times..while the AIs go sightseeing
    Huayra race is hard to win if u wreck isn't it?

    Well,I miss the Nismo :'(
    Learning from Hector and Public Enemy was useful, but I get nervous every f**king time and hit walls, sometimes in the last U turn, sometimes missing some nitro. I've finished 4th, but I'm very disappointed. This fuel system killed my way to do TLE's. Now (on Windows) we have 5 TLE's, crazy. I don't think I'm going to waste my time for the MC12 or the Onyx, I'm not the kind of player staying there and grinding every hour. Outside the One:1 I don't see the reason of cars like the Savage GTS,MC12 or the Onyx: why waste time for cars not that stronger? Why I have to buy a GTS if I can have a Savage GTR? Oh, and if the MP TLE's was the "great" new feature Fabien & Ryan says to us before the San Diego update, well.. I can live without.

    Glad to see other Windows 8 players, now I feel less alone here, welcome :)

    As far as I can tell you've missed it with that one, I did the same thing first time round, the trick is to be aware of your collections and get the car boosted to level 4 before you 'cash in' the collection prize. It's great when it works well, I had 5 free S class ready when I was maxing the venom and saved well over a million credits
