I purchased the Vulcan as well. When I purchased the Championship pack (unless it was when I bought my first $99 token pack, then generously gave me many boxes and about 12 double tanks and a dozen TKs and nitros as well. I was actually provided about 20 engine cards (10 CREs and 10 SREs) which I used towards tuning the F1s to MP tunes. But alas, although this was better than nothing, it left me about 12 engines short for each vehicle. Luckily, over the following weeks I was able to obtain 2 engines of each and then another one recently. I was able to tune my MP4-25 to over 1500 and make it competitive in MP actually. They also threw some engine cards at me in Exclusive Deals, and I paid a whopping 1,500 tokens for one card a couple times.

HOWEVER - Right now they have a Racing Engine box on sale for 3 days that guarantees to include CREs/SREs, for 900 tokens. Most boxes I've received at least one of each, if not more than one. One box I received 3 CRE (can't remember if I got any SREs that time) and another time I got 3 SREs. Another time I did get only one type of engine, rather than both. So now for a much lower cost than buying a single engine card for 1,500 tokens, I've managed to obtain enough to tune my MP4-25 to A1600 (with one CRE to spare) and my MP4/8 to B1498 with one SRE to spare. I don't think I'll be trying to buy enough of this box to PRO these puppies, as I'm still going to be 19 engines short of PRO for the MP4-25 and 15 short on PROing the MP4/8 and that's a lot of boxes. Even though I have the tokens, I don't want to waste them all on these boxes. It is however very nice you can buy more than one box. I already have the Vulcan and will get the Hommage and keep the MP4-25 MP tuned at A1600 for now, but probably won't PRO either because their usage would be for TLEs at that point. I have other cars in B and A class for TLEs and if it so happens my MP tuned F1s are the most suitable vehicle because of the short track chosen for the TLE, then I'll just place the best I can place. I already have all the best vehicles for TLEs except for ones where a fully PRO'd MP4-25 or MP4/8 is the dominant car.

Perhaps you've already seen the Racing Engine box already and are benefiting from it, perhaps this post will alert you to the special box. As I said before, it will be available for 3 days. Good luck!
