    It's only 500 points now, but that should heat up as the day progresses and people get desperate. Must be hard to give up now being so close tho, if you spend that money then just miss out it will be tough, I suppose it's a tough call either way. I'm happy enough hoping to be able to buy the car for credits next Friday and farming until then. I can get double credits boosts for 7 days for the price of a sandwich so don't mind paying it :)

    Haha and double the price too :)

    I actually only use it for maybe 3-6 hours max in 2 or 3 sessions anyway so 24 hours feels like a bit of a waste at times, although I'd much rather have the option. I wish the extra tanks were longer, in 4 hours you don't get many attempts at TLEs using it, the value would increase if there was a daily fuel allowance as suggested on here many times. I guess it is all geared to railroad you into spending the maximum amount of money for the least amount of in-game value. It shouldn't be a surprise really when you look at the IAP car prices, which still shocks me a few months into playing the game.

    Just on the IAP cars it's particularly frustrating that the lower class TLEs are all won by them, it's things like that that will ultimately end my interest in the game tbh. TLEs are the only real thing I have left now the cars are almost all maxed and I just can't seem to get into multiplayer , at least until I'm closer to level 85 and it doesn't actually cost me credits due to using 2 boosts. Only at 40-something atm and that was mainly due to using it to get level 5 upgrades for D and C class but now all I get is credits and nitro.

    Nemesis you're killing me here! I was quite pleased with my Nissan 370z time and you've just wiped a massive 0.7s off it lol. Don't think I barrelled over the big jump twice but I doubt that's all that's missing for that amount of time. Giving the ghosts a break for a day or two now but I will be back, just need to focus on <1 minute high credit laps to get the credits up by several million by next week.

    Tried to access it there but seems to need wifi. Pity coz my 4G in work today seems to be strong, some days it's not so good and I can't even upload a ghost time but not today. Sadly it's only poor laps are preventing me uploading them today lol. Currently trying to beat nemesis' huayra as I'm getting plenty of credits at the same time. Hard at work on a Friday afternoon...

    Got up onto the high route from the first barrel in Dubai (biome) in only 1.39s there, previous best was 1.55. Will be disappointed if I don't get rid of my extra tank time of 54.813 with an unboosted time this evening. Also managed a smooth 1.99s over the big jump too on a seperate attempt, normally my lowest there is 2.02-2.06 when I hit it well, if I can put them together with the rest and a full speed big turn I think I should be able to easily beat the 54.813.

    Dave, once I saw your F12 time on the Great Wall, I had to do that one again lol. I could improve it a bit but still with some mistakes, 1:04:808 unboosted. It's all about a clean start...

    I've also read some of you were struggling with Barcelona reverse, my video of the Zagato is an old one and I didn't used the fastest route. To see the fastest route you should follow my Challenger ghost in season 9 on Barcelona reverse:)

    I also made 2 new videos with the Koenigsegg One:1
    Alps, 2 laps, 1:39:501 - http://youtu.be/epQd8tV8-R0
    Monaco, 1:19:710 - http://youtu.be/2eNio1J9FkY
    The last one has a few mistakes in it, so I'm not sure what best time can be achieved...:rolleyes:. I've seen a 1:19:1xx in versus mode, but classic is more difficult

    Cheers:D

    Very nice indeed:) I haven't got much time lately, otherwise I would run all these cups too. I'll only do the Savage GTR because it's an important one lol. After that I hope I have more time. University is killing me:(

    Question 1: Does anyone know how long the Venom is going to last?

    Question 2: I bought the other two cars on sale (Challenger and Bugatti) and was left with 0 credits so farmed around 330,000 credits. I know there was a discussion on the best way to farm credits. However what would be the best path for me currently to farm credits ? I have 40 cars (only 4 S-Class: FXX, Bugatti, Agera R, and Lykan-only Lykan has some upgrades @ 1600) I have a maxed GT500 and stock Survolt to keep it as a MP easy win car. I don't have the typical farming cars (Biome...) Any tips

    Someone on the fb page mentioned Tuesday, however the last time there was offers on cars there were 2 different cars every day for a week, though that was the one year anniversary week for the game so probably was different. My brother just bought the lykan after I told him to wait until midnight as it may change then, he doesn't play enough to justify farming for the venom but I think he might have missed out on a 175k saving if they switch the cars around. Plus if the venom lasts until Tuesday he could have made it no problem with double credits and season 9 maps.

    Your best chance for farming credits at this point is anything you have got maxed for season 9, the further down the list it is the more credits you will get. Also you should consider buying the double credit boost, I do it every now and then when I need credits fast, I don't particularly like paying for it but it does the job. I missed out on the venom last time it was reduced to 1.2m, didn't know too much about the game and bought the tuatara at a reduced 625k or so, wasn't too happy when I had to find 3m to buy it later and 2.5m to upgrade!

    Good luck, I'm currently trying to get to 10m credits by next Friday in case the one:1 is for credits and not IAP, only on 3m at the minute but I expect that to be at least 5 by Monday as I'm using double credits and playing season 9 maps that can be completed in under or close to a minute.

    I intend to be playing a lot of f12 this weekend (child permitting of course) in preparation for the savage car TLE so I will hopefully get close, can't get any closer than last time 0.001 seconds lol. Like you say it is all about the start, thankfully that is the part I struggle most with so in TLE fully boosted the start should not affect it much.

    I think I take a different route to you on that challenger ghost if I remember correctly, again I spend to much time messing around with the wiggle drift as I can't get the start right, might get a look at it this weekend too as its good credits.

    Also meant to ask you, that Monaco 'kiss' video you posted, did you do that on purpose or was it a kerb or something that you just recovered really well from??

    It's a bug in Monaco with those sidewalks. If you want to make a tight curve, you'll get that xD. But yes, I could control it very well, I don't know how haha. It looks funny:D I think I will make a video too with all these funny moments later. I just need to discover a few more:)
    Thanks and sweet lap:)

    My pleasure, although our chatter didn't exactly seem to help you — I've never seen you crash this often in a single race, and god knows I've spent enough races trailing you from start to finish.

    Also, I've just skimmed through 140 new pages in this thread. You guys sure have been busy while I was buried under a pile of work! Nevertheless, I caught up, and all I got was this t-shirt two messages for Motor Away:

    1. In response to this:

    That's funny, because the stated intent (on this thread, no less) of that video was to illustrate how stupid the matching algorithm was back then. I still think the entire notion of trying to balance world series rank vs. car rank is unfair and naive. (A third party usually benefits from the imbalance.)

    2. I like your world series score. :D

    Unboxing in progress!

    Decided for the Air2, in desperate hope to get rid of those lags.

    Has anyone transferred his progress so far? Anything I have to take care of?

    Pretty exited to see what's happening in a metal season!
