@ AFU

Thank you mate!!!

If I were you, I wouldn't wait a single minute to max pro my Vulcan. I max proed it thanks to Zlatan's advice and I'm having a blast and the most fun of my Asphalt 8 time so far! The max pro Vulcan is the most fun and the most thrilling car I've ever driven in Asphalt 8!

My Vulcan was at 1600s like you and I kept getting matched with Vulcans and Hussaryas tuned at 1700s 1710s 1720s 1730s, not the mention the infamous 1747 Vulcan and its Hussarya counterpart.

I first tried the 1747 tune and then I max proed it only after a few ticketed races. Coz I was getting matched with max pro Vulcans too often lol.

And the max pro Vulcan is a huge asset in S class events and I placed 130th or something at the last S Class Heat without even trying hard!

But most importantly once you max pro your Vulcan you'll never ever see another guy who is trying to slightly outtune you to try to get easy kills. That's the first time I truly enjoyed MP. At Max Pro, everybody is equal and only skill and concentration matters! So no more of those assholes who keep trying to slightly outtune the optimal MP bracket tune to try to get easy kills. They ruin the MP bracket this way by beating the guys in the optimal tune regularly but also being regularly beaten by the guys in the next MP bracket. It was such a relief, such a joy not seeing any "smartass" that runs away at the start of a race coz he slightly overtuned his car so he can ruin the optimal tune of the bracket.

In a sense, all overtuning assholes work for the max pro guys by linking up MP brackets. They regularly beat the optimal tuned cars in their bracket but since they overtuned their car, they get regularly beaten by the guys in the next bracket. This forms a sort of `food chain` where every MP bracket preys on the lower bracket and is simultaneously preyed on by the upper bracket thanks to all those smartass overtuning guys. And in that Greedloft MP food chain, max pro guys are the apex predators! Max pro guys both prey on each other and also on any guy over 1650! That's no wonder most regular max pro MP players are comfortably in Champion League. The entire MP system feeds them! Even this alone should convince you to max pro it immediately :D

I wouldn't worry about the extra tank. I'm on Windows so I can only speak for it. But the extra tank usage rate in 1600s MP is very very near to the rate of the extra tank usage in max pro. It might be different in other platforms. Of course, the extra tank helps in placing first consistently but I've seen some guys with really "high" ratings who were doing ranked races just double boosted. In any case, it's very possible to reach the champion league with a max pro Vulcan just double boosted. It will just take a little bit longer. But you'll reach the champion league way way way way faster with far less tickets at max pro, coz the crushing majority of the guys you will race will have ratings of 2000 and above.

There's 5 days left for the MP season to end. If you think you can reach Champion League for sure in your 1679 Vulcan in 5 days, you might postpone max proing it for the next season. But if you're not 100% sure, you're guaranteed to reach the Champion League this season if you max pro your Vulcan right now. You'll need to train very intensively for the first day though before attempting ranked races coz the Max Pro Vulcan has one of the sharpest and fastest drifting of all cars. And its a HUGE asset. But it's also a double-edged sword until you get a hang of it. Coz at the first day you tend to drift too sharply and hit the inside of the turn lol :D

But you're already at 1900 and provided you train well in your newly max proed Vulcan, you're guaranteed a Champion League finish this season. On average you earn much much much more rating points per tickets spent at max pro coz, as I said, most of the guys you'll race are in the Champion League already.

And to answer your question, I could never even hope hitting 2200 rating points if I had kept my Vulcan in 1600s. Mainly because the average rating points of the 1600s MP bracket is extremely low, compared to the average rating points of the Max Pro MP bracket.

Look at me! I jumped from 2157 to 2215 ratings in just 6 tickets today! Can you imagine doing that in a 1679 Vulcan? Impossible. You just won't get matched with enough high rated players in that rank.
