    I already time traveled last week just to see what it was. I posted it a few pages back. But here it is again...

    Porsche 918 Spyder Concept, it rings in at R$845,000... so at 20% off that'll be $676,000. I've already been working to save and am at $331,000 in the bank, though that's after being over 400K and needing to buy a Viper on sale for 80'something thousand, so I just took the hit. LOTS of grinding left to do to get that last $345,000. My main goal to this is just to finish unlocking each racing bracket's tracks for the bonus and try to hit the 25%/50%/75% goals for the extra money they give. But at the end of the day I may just need to pick a long race and grind since I want this car.

    I'm not sure what time it'll kick in, but this time tomorrow it should already be showing. I hope it's 30% off instead of 20% off.

    ///////////////

    So stats...

    Level 55
    208/961 Events / 21% complete
    165-Gold/16-Silver/10-Bronze
    632 Total Races
    R$331,000 in the bank
    330 Gold (should be about 10 - 15 more than that but stupid repair now button got touched by accident a few times)
    18/46 Cars owned

    Nicely the Ford Shelby 500 has finally bumped the Silvia as what the game thinks is my favorite car.


    For the PRO/AM WORLD SERIES I'm now at... 100%, 91%, 85% & 76%. I have some good numbers in other series, but that was one I was specifically working towards 100%'ing on all 4 sections.


    EDIT: Guess there was no reason to bother putting up a spoiler tag if someone was just going to post it. In the future PLEASE use the spoiler and /spoiler tags with the [] brackets around what maybe others may not want to know.

    No, there really wasn't. Not like it's a big spoiler. Why wouldn't you wanna know, in order to take advantage of the discount? Anyways, I don't have those in the toucharcade app.

    Some folks like to be surprised. It didn't bother me because I already knew, just don't want others to stop visiting the thread because someone might ruin something they were looking forward to finding out.

    As for the tags, you can type them. It's really simple to type the [ then spoiler then ] and then whatever text and finish that with [/spoiler]

    Did they ever say why iCloud saves aren't in the game? Kind of frustrating not being able to pick up my iPad and start from where I left off on my phone and vice versa.



    Just did a cup race twice and got 7th and 5th place each time. Switched to a car with lower stats and came in first easily. What the hell?

    Sometimes between doing the same race, it'll sync up some different TSM opponents and sometimes they have different cars. I've watched going between Endurance races for instance and seen the times just completely different (often for the worse). Same for drag races. The whole lineup of cars may change between going back to the menu and starting the same race again.

    Of course the stats on a car are very deceptive. I think it's because we don't see the gear ratios. It's more obvious in drag races where the opponent in what seems like a better car is shifting at much different spots. Some of these BMW's for instance are geared such that they just dominate where it doesn't make sense by the basic stats.

    Maybe by using the lower rated car, you were matched against other players also with lower rated cars. And since in general, those with lower rated cars are less experienced, your racing skills outmatched theirs?
     
  9. Wow, forwarding the clock works on sales too? No wonder how you all get the info, was curious because you all aren't on the NZ version. Interesting that the time hack works on sales.

    It only reveals what the event/car will be. You can't pre-purchase at the sale price as that seems to be a server side thing they can offer whenever they want.

    I'm hoping it's at least 30% off. That's one pricy car.

    Event and car are now active but no deal posted yet for the car. Hopefully this changes because I'm not saving up 800+K.

    No. I have been using the last group of races in Performance Rumble to grind. One of the multilap races there yields around 12k but they still pay fairly well for a middle of the pack finish. To maximize earning I'm not servicing the car I'm using between uses and trying to get as little damage as possible to repair. Turning traction control back on after the tires are gone does seem to help.

    ...

    As for the q about BMW vs Shelby... The Shelby is more useful overall, but I'm finding each car useful in certain events and locations. So it's worth it to get them all by taking advantage of those sales every 3rd race. I wouldn't buy at full price another car in the same race group as one you already own. Other than the Silvia at the start of the game and my second car the BMW Z4 M Coupe, the other 16 of 18 cars I own were bought during sale events.

    R$633,750 is the sale price on the Porsche 918 Spyder Concept. That's 25% off. I have R$456,000 right now. So my goal is by lunch tomorrow to have it. That's going to be such a beast to drive.
     
  16. So how easy is it to get the Bugatti? How many hours do you think you would have to play to get it?

    The Porsche 918 on sale has a hefty 13 hour delivery wait. Ouch! :)

    Maybe 2 weeks if not on sale and only access to the lower tier races.

    Next weeks car will be...

    Pagani Huayra It's R$1,358,000. That'll be a real bugger to save up for even with a discount. Having the Porshe from this week though may help.

    Currently I have just over R$500,000. That Porsche is in site.
