    Yeah, the final stage of engine upgrades are gold only.

    That's way too much. Have you got much saved?
    I've fully upgraded two lower level cars but they're not too expensive.
    It really doesn't appear to be about having an extensive garage does it. One super premium, one stock car, one V10 etc. It needs a car shop so you can try before you buy. Once committed to the car it's there to stay

    The better the car overall the more coin you need to cough up :p

    If you use your free coins from leveling up on tuning and buying cars only it works well, only time I have skipped timers is when it's been accidental.

    I actually prefer the Belgium track, but I'm getting hang on the cornering part.
    And all this in an iPhone 4 :D

    Game Impressions

    So far, and unlike I was expecting, I've been enjoying a good time in the game. That doesn't mean I wouldn't prefer a premium option however.
    It runs okay, even on the iPhone 4. Great graphics, much better on newer devices and with less lags (or none). For a mobile game, and for a device that was released more than two and half years ago, that is outstanding!

    The repairs kind of suck, except if they take about one minute (which is the time you use to go to the next race). The Cup races are the most difficult so far. Overtaking 21 cars in Laguna Seca is a bit over the edge.

    After some hours of gameplay I have $120k, 104 gold, 3 cars (Focus RS, Challenger R/T, Z4 M Series), all this with no iAPs. And I'm not in the mood of buying them.
    I'm getting the 911 Turbo 4.0 as soon as I have the cash for it. Having more than one car really helps to get through the waiting times, so don't rush to them. When you get many cars and many races to do, I think you won't care about iAPs. But, again, that will take a while.

    My son has been bugging me for a go but he's only 3 so he sucks at games. He's currently trashing my Shelby. I can't listen. I had to leave the room

    I'm expectedly saving for the 800-coined Agera R. Only 694 coins to go :D

    And, you know, the McLaren MP4-12C is only 15 coins more ;)

    *screech CRASH screech CRUNCH*

    "Daddy daddy I made the car have lots of accidents, and now it goes really really slow, the big red triangle says fifteen! Yay!"

    I wonder, has TouchArcade seen a grown man break down into a sobbing fit of tears yet?

    Am I right to assume that if your TSM friends are really good and have a much better car (and if you have say 20 TSM friends, all ofthem very good), then you are toast and can forget about winning at all? Or does the TSM AI scale back?
