Talk:Weber Faster One/@comment-27406492-20160713012352

This may be too late but if the event comes back ...

I won the Weber Faster One last night in the endurance event. I thought I’d tell about it as sort of payback for the info I gotten from this site. To start, I will say it is worth mentioning that I owned all of the cars in the event except for the Chrysler ME412. All are max and most were pro. The Skyline I bought by mistake and was a waste of hard earned tokens but it’s not Max or Pro. So I avoided the ME412 and Stupid Skyline. I also avoided the flawless races after I got burnt twice by a random crash that came from nowhere.

I lost a few times trying to double down and going too far. But for me the first 14 tracks were safe, although I did reroll 2 times after I figured out the things. So I cashed in after the 4 boss. I think it was the 19 race which is a boss at Venice that’s very hard. I tried it with the Faster One Maxed and Pro 0152 and fell short 3 times before I bought my way through. (At this point I was in too deep to leave the car on the table). That cost me 850 Tokens which I won on TL events, I was at 60,080 points with 4500 about to be lost and enough time for 2 more invitations. Interestingly I easily got though the next boss and made about 5000 more credits. Then the next race wouldn’t sync after I won it and the game sent me back to start. So the next ticket I double down after the first boss and cashed in for 4500 points on race 14, lost to the boss at 19, which left me needing about 600 points to win the car which I did on the last ticket with about 5 hours left on the event. Had I played it a little smarter early on I could have saved the 800 tokens. Should have maxed it out the Weber at the beginning but I didn’t have that much faith. I also should say I ran every race with Nitro and Tuning. I did use 1 double tank in desperation trying to get past the boss at Venice.

So the pay offs were really good, between the credits in the race and the mastery I’d say it’s close to 750,000 credits. I think at 30,000 point there was 150 tokens, at 50,000 points it was 300 tokens plus a S pro box with 24 cards. It had 4 - V8s and 4 - mid techs among the usual suspects. It’s also worth mentioning that the Mastery had another 200 tokens on race 5. So the way I figure I’m out 2,000,000 credits and 200 tokens for a max 5555 Pro 0152 class S car. I think this car can be easy to win if you have the pro cars and a 1000 tokens, to put up if you get in trouble, which you will get most back at the very worst. At best you could bank a several of hundred tokens.

Now About the car. The stock car is a little slow of the line and doesn’t get good traction. It will push into the wall very easy coming out of a turn. But after maxing it out it settles down and will hold tight. I did mastery up to race 12 and won back to back except for one flawless race that I crashed into traffic a few times. So it’s a pretty good car. I ran a few MP races and won maybe 13 out of 20. Tuned and nitro it can compete, straight up its going to have trouble until its pro… I hope. I’m at 1747 now as in the event. And equal or higher rank Nemesis will smoke it, most of those guys run boosted on top of out ranking me. It doesn’t seem to get knocked down excessively but I did take a few hits Nemesis and 675LT being the worst offenders. But it will take out other cars as well. And it will real them in which I like. Chasing a car for a ¼ lap, passing clean, and leaving them behind is cool. So while the speed says its slower in the 290 range with Nitro burning it will out run the earlier 300+ MPH cars. I would also say this is a good car for the reason that it uses V8 engines, which are way more plentiful that V8FI cards. I think this car will pro quickly with a few TL events with V8 kits and Mid tech Kits in the rewards. In the end I’m glad I stuck it out and won the car.
