    yeah same for me ... i thought that it works but only in some series

    my problem is that firemint didnt reset endurance KM but only fix that now you cant go 200km in one endurance event so now its impossible to beat some of my friends so i cant get 100% on some series ... i like challenge but now i just cant do anything

    isnt there some other way to do it?

    do i need for your way jailbrake? anyway i dont like to get into my iPhone this way

    ALSO

    1. how endurance events work now? Do i need to just go fast or i need to overtake oponnent only if i have 79 seconds or less for best distance?

    2. does that weeks sale of car (now its SRT Viper GTS) start with 20% off and then later goes to 40% off? Because i bought car before with 40% off and now its only 20%. Also yesterday when this sale start that SRT was for full price

    EDIT:
    3. can you ride that corvette or you just can own it?

    I explained that in one of the posts, but the answer is yes, you can drive it, but only if you go to that series (Modern Sports Classics) through the mailbox. If you go directly to the series, the 'vette doesn't show up.

    Regarding the problem you're having with those big endurance races, I had the same. My 'fix' was to save my game to the cloud, delete app, install it, restore the save, force quit the app, turn airplane mode off, and you should be good to go. Cleared a lot of (now) impossible endurance races that way.

    As for strategy, I never overtake if I have more than 80s on the clock. Endurance races are all about strategy and tidy races, and not just pure speed.

    Sure it nice to only have to get 5.8 miles in Endurance mode to get the gold instead of 30 miles. And to race against the computer instead of a "friend" who has played the game for 100 hours and mastered every car and every turn on every track.

    Sounds like someone is about to convert to the darkside.

    I played the game more than 100 hours, mastering every car and every corner, with all driving aids off, and I'm totally against 6 miles endurance races (2 or 3 laps doesn't make it an endurance), the only reason I've reset the times was because of those enormous endurance records, that were possible because of a bug, and now are simply impossible to beat.

    Hey Firemonkeys,

    Now that you've probably made a huge chunk of money, can we please have qualifying laps before the cup races? Cup races are becoming unbearable with the really fast cars. The only way to over take 22 cars in 2 - 4 laps is to cut corners, and cutting corners is really just cheating yourself. So can we please have actual qualifying laps before the races so we can get the place we deserve on the grid?

    It's called Real Racing for a reason.

    And don't get me started on Endurance races :p

    No, you don't need to be jailbroken to access the files. It's also pretty safe, as you can make backups (and even safer now you can have a cloud backup as well). If you're still worried, try cfgoliveira's method of deleting/reinstalling the app and restoring a cloud backup instead.

    Sales vary from week to week. Sometimes it's 20%, sometimes more. The times it shows no discount seems to be a little bug where the sale is supposed to be on but it hasn't quite activated yet. In other words, once the discount is active it's unlikely to change again.

    Thanks for the heads up on how to buy/access the Corvette :) Now it's fantastic! I have a beautiful yellow Corvette in my showcase, but not much more :p

    I feel like I wasted my money, but couldn't resist trying it, to see if it worked.

    Well, when they actually release the car, you should have it available to play as ou already paid for it (if I understand what you are saying correctly).

    You understood correctly, and it's true what you're saying, but what I really meant was that I could buy it with (at least) 20% discount.

    Regarding the ZR-1, I only wish it had a better acceleration.

    Is anyone else finding the TSM times that much more difficult since the update?

    Really struggling in some of these races post update. It's as though they've tightened up the rubber banded AI a bit more. :)

    Ah! Glad to hear it's not just me then.
    Got really frustrated at a certain point. When you cannot win it simply isn't fun anymore.
    Sometimes I am even struggling just to get 3rd place. Let alone getting gold.

    Was it a race from Modern Sports Classics? Maybe they "fixed" it, server wise. When I go to 'My Cars', I see the Corvette on the cinematic sequence, but now I can't find the car.
