The difficulty of this 2018 McLaren X2 championship cannot be compared to the McLaren MP4-31 championship even though they have very similar goals. Unlike the MP4-31 championship, the X2 championship is impossible to complete all grand finales without the help of any CREs before the championship. Plus, greedy Gameloft decides to make it so you get tires every 12 hours instead of the typical 8 hours.

Without spending tokens on boxes which rewards CREs, the best you can do is reach 6 0 10 0 by passing the 235 trophy mark which rewards a championship box. But before reaching this trophy mark, you would have to complete ALL goals and sub-goals up to and including the Rio tour with a tuning of 4 0 10 0 which is possible... but is hard without buying tire refills at least once throughout the championship. Ok... maybe I exaggerated the "ALL goals" part. You can only skip ONE sub-goal and you would be forced to skip the Rio Sprint 4 goal because it's impossible to finish with 4 0 10 0.

Ok... now you have a tuning of 6 0 10 0 after getting 4 more CREs... But this tuning isn't enough to complete the Tokyo tour... Alex Letizia managed to pass the first, second and third main goal in Tokyo... but he's an alien. Are you alien enough to do the same? And even an alien can't pass the forth main goal. Consequently, he was forced to upgrade higher to 7 0 10 0. Hence the minimum tuning of 7 0 10 0 to unlock this car.

But wait... You don't have an extra 2 CREs to upgrade from 6 0 X 0 to 7 0 X 0 like the alien did. So what now? Auto-pass the remaining three main goals in Tokyo! That would cost you almost 3000 tokens. Or you can become a gambler and hope that you can get 2 more CREs from that 275 token mini box. Which is the better choice? I don't know. Autopassing guarantees you a win but buying mini boxes could save you tokens AND you are 2 less CREs to PRO your X2... hahaha who's going to manage to PRO their X2s on this community? Congrats if you do! After wasting 3000 tokens, all you need to do is beat the grand finale and then you get your X2!

Conclusion: This championship is a trap in getting people to spend their resources. Yeah, you can upgrade to 8 0 10 0 by getting all the championship boxes which is over the minimum tune and enough to unlock the car, right? Sadly, most of us didn't know that the last championship box was impossible to get if you had no CREs beforehand and planned not to spend any tokens. None of the popular YouTubers warned us and Gameloft sat back feeding off people's wallets.

You need at least 2500 tokens (you will get more tokens during the championship?) without a single CRE before starting this championship. OR Have 2 CREs prepared beforehand. These are just the minimum requirements. I recommend that you have at least 4 CREs before you start to make your lives much easier...

And this is the story of how I sadly won my X2 ;(
