Welcome to my profile, Asphalt fans and fellow racers!

I'm ShinnyShin and I'm one of the many car lovers and volunteer editors on this Wiki.

As of the Motorcycles Update, my in-game tag is now also ShinnyShin.

I've been playing Asphalt 8: Airborne since February 2014 and I'm quite proud to say that to this day, I have never, ever spent any money on this game and have come quite far on just my own skills and a little bit of luck!

My Favorite Tracks

 * Rio de Janeiro - I love how amazingly lively, vibrant and colorful this location is, just like the real thing!


 * Dubai - Many nice features, especially the Aquarium and the plaza. I love to just sit there and take in the view of the Aquarium's beauty!
 * London - Mostly because I used to live here. Why doesn't the real one look like this?
 * Monaco - Nice one for adding this as a track, since races happen here in real life. The hair-pin turns are ideal for triple-drifting!
 * Nevada - Lots of room for some major epic tricks and stunts here. Wild west racing at its best!
 * The Great Wall - The feeling of history associated with this location combined with modern racing is quite spectacular!
 * Sector 8 - A glimpse into the future with plenty of twists, turns and surprises. Hoping to see more tracks like this!
 * Barcelona - Great for cruising long straights and testing the top speed of my cars, as well as the beach ramps for stunts!

A Little More ...
A lot of players have asked me why I don't own the Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS and the Aston Martin Vulcan. This is due to several reasons I will list below :
 * My strategy is simply to play and have fun, as well as get ahead using only my skills and efforts. It's still possible to progress and enjoy the game without spending any money on it, and for me, the day I use my wallet to advance in this game, is the day the fun dies
 * Despite not spending any actual money to get this far, I have splashed out over 18.4 million Credits on just buying the cars and bikes. This is WITHOUT upgrading any of them. The real cost is MUCH MUCH higher
 * Conversely, almost all of my Tokens cars have been obtained for free with the exception of the Renault DeZir (180 Tokens) and the ED Design Torq (4000 Tokens). The other cars were obtained through Time-Limited Events or as Daily Login Bonus rewards
 * Since Asphalt 8 evolves all the time, so does my style of play. I don't focus on how much better other players are than me, but on how I can beat them. Speed isn't everything, skills are!
 * My highest Multiplayer League achievement has been Tier 4 of the Champion League, twice so far. The car that got me there the first time was my trusty Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 2013. RIP, old friend
 * I'm pretty bummed that the Android platform doesn't support the Exclusive Metal Events. Please, Gameloft, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring this feature to the Android platform. It's been several YEARS now since this game was released!!
 * With the current exception of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV and Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package, I usually avoid all Elite Cars like the plague unless they're free, or based on any of my real-life favorite cars. I never use any of them in Season Ticket races either
 * I never fully upgrade my cars unless it's absolutely required. My main goal is to tune them to the best competitive stats, but if they're completely obsolete for anything, I will only then fully upgrade them for their Mastery rewards
 * I'm pretty glad that I was able to get these cars before the Porsche Update made them unavailable. These cars are the RUF RT 12 S, the RUF CTR 3, the 9FF GT9 VMAX and the Rinspeed zaZen. I do feel bad for the newer players who might never get a chance to own any of these alongside the Porsches, unless Gameloft change their ways
 * These cars are too OP and would provide too many easy and cheap wins
 * They're crazy expensive. 6,250 Tokens for the Camaro SS and 14,250 Tokens for the Vulcan!
 * I have made it one of my biggest missions in this game to actively seek out and wreck any Camaro I see because they are the typical bully car of this game (next to the Aston Martin Vulcan). So if you meet me in a race and you're in a Camaro, no matter what car I'm using, you're gonna have a bad time
 * As for Vulcans I tend to leave them well alone because for some strange reason they're invulnerable, like tanks. Might be Gameloft's doing on this one, I reckon ...
 * They're expensive as sin. How long would it take to save all the Tokens needed to get just one of these cars, let alone both?!


 * Because I don't own either of them, I like the challenge of testing my skills against any that I see in MP races
 * Did I mention they're MAD expensive?! And don't even get me started about the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage ... The less said about this one, the better
 * Also, if you're one of those Clan players, I WILL come for you

Thanks for taking the time to read this far! More to come soon!
