    I guess they started offering these deals following a drop in in-app purchases.

    Well it certainly is way better value for money than the standard price!

    If gold coins had those prices all the time, then it would be absolutely reasonable to fork some money once in a while. After all, the game keeps getting updated on a regular basis with new content, and in the past year we got 700+ events and many new cars added.

    Agreed..
    I have had a long struggle with this game.. It is the only game on any platform that I have played every day since release, and still do. But I absolutely loathed the freemium set up.. The only way I justify spending any cash is purely based on the sheer amount of game time have gotten from this..mind you I would never spend $129.00 on IAP, so the same amount of Gold for only $25.00 actually seems very reasonable..

    I'm playing the new open wheelers series and the acceleration on the Atom v8 is mind blowing, it really puts to shame every other car. On the other hand the grip is mediocre at best.

    Yeah, but its a great racer (aside from the pay model). Maybe I just got bored of it. I'll probably come back to it some time later.

    Its a good pick up and play game, but I wish it wasn't that. The car repair timers are just a bit too much. I would've been perfectly fine with just the upgrade timers. The repairs just threw away the "hardcore-ness" of RR and made it a pick up and play casual game. But looking at the bright side, they're adding a whole lot more content due to the pay model

    A combination of GTR2 and this would've been great. The social features and pay model from GTR with the combination of the tracks, cars, and traction from RR3 would've been awesome :)

    Oh I agree... I loved it for the time I spent on it (which was a lot). Same, bored at times I guess. Maybe I'll start back tonight, cap some videos, etc. Kinda getting in the mood already lol.

    So far, I haven't stopped playing since day 1. Some days I only race once, others I'll spend a few hours racing... I do get very frustrated with the pay model, but for me this is the best racer on iOS.. Loved the Porsche "road to Le Mans" while it was going.. The final 10 lap race at Spa was brilliant!

    Hey RIP, nice to see you here! I Like the sound of more updates! Unfortunately the free Gold,as mentioned, seems to only be available in the States.. The link doesn't work in Aus. :(
