Thanks for your reply! In fact, you've answered my question in extraordinary detail.

I am aware that the V8 Engine is the current trending topic among players, given how a lot of recently released cars have been demanding said Engine. The page you referred me to appears to cover all the questions I have with all of those neat graphs.

I had noticed some time ago that the actual rarity of certain Engine Cards often does not match the actual "supposed" drop rate of the Cards concerned. Case in point, the i3 Engine. The odds of receiving one of those was incredibly miniscule from the earliest days of the Fastlane Update, as compared to others such as the Custom Racing Engine.

In hindsight, I wish I was able to record the opening of my limited supply of Finish Line Boxes, remaining Super Racer Kit Boxes and Engine Boxes from TLEs for your research purposes.

For roughly every 8 Custom Racing Engines I received from the Finish Line Boxes, I would receive only 1 i3 Engine. It then occurred to me that the i3 was Common in name only, as I would more often receive Legendary Engines (mostly V12s!)

And as I write this, I have only 8 i3 Engines in my Inventory, and what do you know, the BMW i8's R&D has returned. As a VIP 0 player, I no longer have any access to the only Box that grants the engines I need - aside from what I might collect from the Event itself, of course!

Thanks again, hope you're well!
