    This was the only post I could find of yours with those recommendations, the rest were from memory, which is why the B Class has question marks around it.

    The lotus is incredibly fast for it's class. It may help but I'm not quite sure about the later seasons as I am still on season 3 and it beats the competition by quite a lot.

    Oh. Citroen Survolt can only last to season 4, or further if you have skill.. I'm planning to get the granturismo sport for replacement.

    Thanks very much

    And yeah, that would be a very good list to get you far.
    I wouldn't upgrade them beyond 2nd level because at that stage you'd have to think of better cars.
    Other than the Veneno. I'm halfway through series 8 and that thing still is a beast with upgrade level 1 (2 on handling).

    The Citroen will eventually need replacing for later races but its acceleration is top of the class and I still use it for drift gate in that class because its very easy to control.
    I'd replace it with the GTR if I were you because I replaced it with the 458 and Killjoys ghost GTR seems to be better. The 458 needed quite a few upgrades to be competitive in series 7 and 8. You should have plenty of cash by the time you need it.

    The Dodge I haven't used at all yet but it appears to have a good few events and will pay off better. I used the Caddy there which also has a good few events and went on to the Corvette and the then the F12, which is still doing reasonably okay in seven and eight. So I probably over bought for that class. If you're coming from the Dodge, just go straight to the F12 is what I'd recommend.
    You again should have plenty saved up from other classes and series.

    One key thing is that even if you car is underpowered and you can't win, just aim to get the two bonus items out of the race. There's plenty in those as you progress and it allows you just to focus on winning next time round.

    The S4 and the Exige are still competitive very deep in it. The S4 I haven't needed to replace at all yet. The Exige has been replaced by the Alfa 8c but that's only because I had spare cash and it looks cool but it really wasn't necessary as the Exige still races well.

    Gate drifting in the gorgeous Monaco track (Season 4, Tier C, Audi RS 3 Sportback):

    11,000 points for 1 star
    12,000 points for 2 stars
    13,000 points for 3 stars

    "Drift 5,400 m" for one additional star
    "No wreck" for one additional star

    Despite of the rather weak car (upgrades 2/1/2/1) I made all 5 stars in the first attempt.

    Just raced one event that was supposedly "Lotus only", but when I got to the race some of my opponents were the Lambos 4WD (I can't remember the name of the car). Are those people who've hacked the game and are in my GC friends list?

    On a side note, I finally got enough money to buy the Ferrari 458 Italia, which gave me several 5-star chances in races. I quickly got enough money for the Corvette C7 and now I'm checking which events can be grinded for stars and getting quite some money for the events. Seems that once you get a high end car things go much more fluent money wise :)

    The game's difficulty is quite above the other Asphalt games I've played. It's just what I needed :D

    At what season did you buy the Ferrari? I just started season 4 with only $67,000 and my best car is the Lotus.

    A8 promo in A7

    Played a bit Asphalt 7 just for relaxing. On start there was a message screen that you can "get 3,000 A8 credits for FREE (worth €0.89) when both games are installed on the same device". Well, since I have both apps installed on three devices…

    [​IMG]

    …I dared to touch "jetzt spielen" ("play now") but that led only to Gameloft's podcast site (?!) in iTunes and nothing happened. There was no confirmation (that I got credits) or anything in A8. (That happened yesterday.) Try it—maybe you have more luck. :confused:

    Edit: "Befristetes Sonderangebot" means "limited time offer".

    I bought it at season 6. I barely got $68,000 and invested them on the Ferrari. I played all te B class events which I hadn't achieved 5 stars and quickly got $64,000 which I invested on the Corvette C7. Now I'm missing 20 stars to unlock season 7, and several events which I haven't tried yet.

    You also get extra time in infected mode by collecting nitro canisters. I hadn't seen that mentioned yet :)

    My credits in A7 aren't hacked. Hard earned with local multiplayer races.

    Nah, I'm just better than you.

    But seriously, the only thing the 458 has going for it is it's top speed. The GTR's acceleration is amazing (seriously - it's what makes the car so good. It makes a huge difference coming out of a drift) and their nitro has a 6 mph difference (in the GTRs favor)

    I think the GTR is definitely better. Although I have upgraded it like 2 stages.

    I think our S4's are pretty well matched, though:

    Unfortunately you get very minimal time, 1 second for blue canisters and 2 seconds for orange. However they can help, especially when you are only seconds away from the finish line.
    Also, one thing that I think you should pass onto the devs for a future update or even A9 is to temporarily give the players cars when there is an event that needs them. I have 5 stars on all races season 1-3, except for the 10 or so races that require me to use a certain car. In A7 you could temporarily use the car, and I tihnk that A8 was actually a step backward in this regard. However, other than that I have no other major gripes. A8 is a great game that is tons of fun to play, you and the other people at Gameloft should be proud of creating such an awesome game!

    Yep, it's been brought up before here and a few other places I'm involved with so I do plan on passing it along. :)
