@ SurfNSlide:

Wow, that's a lot to read and comment. :-) I'll try to answer the most important points.


 * I strongly disagree. Not sure how a multiplayer tuning of the AIE lacks acceleration...

It was psychological. Keep in mind that I had never driven a car this fast and that all other AIs of the R&D were nothing compared to the last one. It already helped me a lot when I thought: "Ignore the AI, this is just a time attack, and the AI is only there to distract me." But it was a great relief when I let the AI behind already at the start. Plus: This damn glowing thing in front of me blocked my view often enough. I didn't have the skills to perform a blind flight in Venice at that speed. So that's why I upgraded acceleration.


 * another disadvantage of max/proing AIE: Skidding just gets worse with every handling upgrade... essentially the car just is bad at maxpro now that the X2 is out. :P

I know. But again, my fastest car was the Dendrobium at 0505 5050. This was the chance to get hold of the fastest existing car at that time, so it was logical for me to max pro it. And that's why I don't regret it. I think many of you just can't imagine this game anymore without a Vulcan, MP4-31 and AHGT. I owned and own none of these.


 * About the 959: well i had it at a bit mistuned at very high 900s but decided to give it a reset and go for a even lower tuning this time. Not sure yet what exactly I’m gonna do, but 967 seems quite good, maybe I go even for a high 800 tune.

I'l slowly upgrade it and see how it performs. But I'm not sure if I won't stay with my 0400 4040 Range Rover for this bracket. I only lost if I was matched against a 959 with a much higher rank, but never to one with an equal or slightly higher rank.


 * About the pro league:

The answer is simple: I don't have neither an M2 SE nor an Arse. :-)


 * If you can reach elite league with a car, then it’s good.

That was out of reach for me as I had to start late 5 to 20 seconds every time due to the delayed start bug which still persists, but less severe. I needed slow races in order to have enough time to catch up. Now, with the more friendly version of the delayed start bug, I was able to switch to the Dendrobium. But the risk is to high if you have a 50 seconds race with an AIE where 3 seconds delay mean you'll definitely finish last. And, last but not least, I don't have the skills to compete with real elite racers. So for now, my AIE is mostly for TLEs.


 * Inventory:

Everything has its two sides. I'd like to disagree with the statement that 400 slots are enough. Took me a while though to discover that blueprint boxes should NOT be opened because you already now what's in them and boxes can be stored in unlimited amounts. :D


 * token ads: where are those in the token purchase screen? Could you offer a screenshot?

You mean the "Grants 30 cards! At least perhaps maybe one or less of them could possibly be an engine you are waiting for! Or not."? :D
