    Impressive, very impressive. I've got 33 cars (5 B cars, 5 A cars and 3 S cars, plus D and C car packs) and around 780 stars. Of course, I haven't reached 100h of gameplay by any means, in fact I'm quite behind the 100h :p Just raced your ghost in RUF's race in Barcelona, season 8. Didn't win it though.

    Hi guys, I have enough to buy my first S class car - can anyone recommend one? I was thinking of the GTA Spano but is it worth bypassing this for something a bit beefy?

    Thanks.

    Does this game sync through iCloud? I'm going to get the 5s and I don't want to start all over D:

    Ferrari FXX aside, you might want to look into Lamborghini Veneno as well.

    It does sync to the cloud.
    Its not "iCloud", but it is a cloud sync to a server that uses your gamecenter id for time stamps and verification. Its just not Apples iCloud. Its a combination of systems.

    So be sure to be logged in to Gamecenter (or Facebook if its your preferred option as it uses that for time stamp and verification also) when you play the game on your old device in order to generate the cloud save.

    Once you have the new device, have installed it and have logged in to gamecenter, an option will come up as to whether you want to keep local data, which would be zero progress or if you want to use cloud data which should be current with your old device.

    If you bought iap car packs, it won't matter as your cloud save will have all those cars bought anyway, so it'll be fine. At that anyway, any car pack that was bought before can be bought again for free as it recognises that you already bought them and doesn't charge you again. Coins are different as they are consumable and I haven't tested them but as they are consumable, I imagine they don't work in the same way as car packs which are handled as dlc more so.

    Its worth noting that there is always a heavy load on the sync servers so there can be a delay of up to 24 hours between the cloud save and the device. To explain that (as it was explained to me by a very helpful Gameloft person, thanks) if you play today at 12pm, it can take up to 12pm tomorrow for that same progress save to be synched to the cloud properly and available to another device.
    Now, I'm not saying that's always the case, but I'm sure you can imagine there is a heavy amount of individual traffic going through those servers so just bear in mind that and don't put up a load of progress the day before you get the new device.

    So long story short, be sure to be logged in to gamecenter in order to have a cloud sync because it is not an iCloud (as in Apple's own cloud system).

    The other thing is that in all likelihood you'll be doing a back up of your old device and restoring your new device from that back up. If you are going down that road, it won't matter for anything because all the progress you have done on anything on your old device will be in the backup and all your games and apps will be in the same save state as they were on your old device. All you will have to do is put in your email, Apple and iCloud passwords in that situation.

    My advice would be to do a full iCloud back up of your device before hand and then when setting up your new device use the restore from iCloud option and everything will be the same as it was on the old one (except you'll be rocking a 5S and iOS 7, you lucky...person:)).
    The apps will all automatically download again during the process so be sure when doing it not to be on a cellular connection, be on a strong wifi so that it goes smoothly.
    I've had to do this a few hundred times this year so far and the iCloud option works out the best all the time as progress on all apps and games will be the same as old device as well as everything else. Re entering passwords is the only thing you have to do again so be sure and note them all somewhere.
    One other thing worth noting is that if you have a lot of photographs on your old device, don't sync them to the cloud as they take up a lot of space and make the process very long. If you wish to keep them, use the iTunes mac/pc backup and restore option.

    Veneno and Ruf were the best two for me.
    The Bugatti and Merc have massive top speed and are not as easy to control.
    The FXX is good as well.
    But to be fair the Veneno got me through all the S class races with 5 stars. It did need some upgrading at later stages but handling and acceleration were the best ones and if I remember right, none were higher than 3.
    Its a hugely entertaining car in the game as well and is still my favourite despite the Ruf 12 being the actual best overall car in the game.
    Anyway, ultimately the Ruf in the S class range or preferably the Veneno are the two best S class options.

    No prob.

    And looking at your reply, I realised how bloody long my own was.
    I've really got to work on the rambling stream of conscious thing I have going on:).

    If you any questions/problems on the backup/restore thing when changing pm me and I'll help out if I can.

    Okay, so I finally picked this up--love it, by the way--but I can't find the multiplayer. It's not at the home screen, not in any of the menus, nowhere. Does something need to be done in order to unlock it or is there just something wrong with the app?

    Bottom left corner of menu screen.
    Its a random selection of players but you have a choice of three events and three modes.
