@ON33 yes indeed, I shall update you on my progress.

True, it's not always about the points and the rankings. It's also about the fun of the game too. Ditto that, I've seen some racers in Vulcans who are perfectly happy to race on and leave the weaker cars alone as a courtesy, just showing good sportsmanship and of course, their skills. Camaro and Hommage racers seem to target other players more frequently just for kicks, even though they can still win without the troll tactics.

I'm also one of those players who races for skills and fun. I've never paid any money whatsoever to this game, and all the 81 (soon to be 82, hopefully) cars that I currently own, I've got through my own efforts and skills. Some of those cars, I got for free in TLEs and Daily Bonus monthly rewards.

And because of this, I've stayed away from getting those OP cars like the Camaro, Cobra, Holden, Hommage, etc, just so I could test my skills against them.

I'm definitely considering Extra Tanking it for Tokyo purely because it is a long track, that usually doesn't have many Nitro bottles, and the very last few seconds will be absolutely critical. I have a feeling it will be designed to be much harder than all the tracks we've completed so far, but then again, we might be in for a surprise!

Unless they switch it up and put extra bottles in specific places, it might still be better to triple-boost just to be safe. Let's just hope that Tokyo's wet tracks don't pose too much of a problem for this skid-happy machine.

I finished the last Main Goal for Rio de Janeiro, and used my last 2 Tires on some of the sub-goals. This Championship has really taught me something: how to play wisely and use my resources as carefully as possible to get the best out of this event.

Rio can actually be done without an Extra Tank if your Tire upgrade is at least 9 instead of 7, but it will leave at least 1 or 2 seconds of breathing space before your time runs out. So if your car's Rank is at least 9-0-10-0 like mine, you can save your Tank for Tokyo.

I'm now just finishing off the sub-goals for Rio and unlocking Tokyo 1 day early (since I will be busy with other projects, I'll need all the time I can get to get some Qualifiers in).

This is so close man, we're almost there!

Good luck!
