Finish Line Box (4.2.0)

The Finish Line Box is a Pro Kit Box in Asphalt 8: Airborne. Introduced with the Fast Lane Update, it is rewarded for finishing highlighted races. It is special in several ways because it has extraordinarily high drop rates of legendary items and engines. It is so far the only known box to grant the newly-introduced and  Engine cards.

Availability
Race modes that reward Finish Line Boxes are marked with a small icon. So far the Finish Line Box has only been granted for finishing multiplayer races. Upon its introduction, the amount of boxes a player could get was 3 per day. After the end of the Spring Fling 3 Multiplayer Season, players only got 1 or 2 boxes instead of 3. This turned out to be dependent on a player's VIP level:
 * VIP level 0: 1 box
 * VIP level 1–11: 2 boxes
 * Maybe a higher VIP level will grant 3 boxes per day.

The loading screens of races granting Finish line boxes show an additional banner at the top. If a player has got all 2 boxes of a day, a timer is shown. Contrary to the, the timer counts down to 0:00 player's local time, so players can get 2 boxes per day no matter if they log in early or late.



Hidden rules

 * The Finish Line Box has the highest relative frequency of engines (%) besides engine-only boxes.
 * Contrary to the pre 2019 Spring Update version, the box does not grant Hot Wheels Engines any more, possibly due to the licensing restrictions surrounding the Hot Wheels vehicles.

Deviations
During the Fast Lane Update, the relative frequencies converged to the official drop rates until March 22, 2019 (sample size 250). After this date, and  values started to diverge again, which is a hint that the internal composition has probably been changed without adapting the drop rates.

As of the 2019 Spring Update, the official drop rates have been changed. Around May 17, 2019 (sample size 243), when the graphs had finally approached the official drop rates after an erratic course, they started to diverge again. This can indicate that either the box content has been changed several times or that it changes somewhat periodically. In any case, it is currently quite safe to say that the official drop rates are wrong. The frequencies do not even tend to approach them.

Engines
The Finish Line Box has by far the highest relative frequency of engines of all common boxes in the game.

Even though the box has a lower drop rate of common cards than other boxes, its frequency of V8 Engines is considerable.

Tech
Compared with other boxes, the Finish Line Box is a good choice for Advanced Tech, less for Mid-Tech.

Following an official 2019 Spring Update announcement, it does not contain bike tech any more.

Parts
The 2019 Spring Update has also changed the box's high drop rate of bike parts to zero (previously 25 to 30 %).
