You'll be quite fine without the MP4 31. For S Class events, even in Dubai, the Vulcan and the MP4 31 are evenly matched. So if you're good enough and also have the hours and hours to put in, you'll place top 100 in S Class events with the Vulcan even in short and twisty tracks.

The MP4 25 and the MP4 8 you got will help you a lot in A and B class events, in relatively twisty tracks. You'll only need the AMG GT3 and the Corvette GS for longer and straighter tracks in B and A class events.

Those F1 cars are very very difficult to pro outside of its championships as CREs are very very very rare. In championships you're awarded some and you can purchase a lot of championship boxes which give you CREs at relatively bargain prices in Gameloft's way. In fact, the reason I was able to max pro my Vulcan were the R&D Professional Boxes that I was able to purchase in Pagani Huayra BCs R&D event. They were 750 tokens each and gave 3 V12s each among the other cards needed to pro the Huayra (which are the same cards to pro the Vulcan).

You already got the MP4 25 and you should concentrate on proing it anyway. MP4 8 needs Serial Racing Engines so it doesn't compete with your MP4 25 for engines which is good. MP4 25 will be much more useful in events compared to MP4 31 coz you already got the Vulcan. And besides, the MP4 25 can beat the Vulcan in very short and very twisty maps in one lap races also in multiplayer. If I had to pick between a max pro MP4 25 and a max pro MP4 31, I'd pick the MP4 25. I don't own any of them. I got the Vulcan for S class events, the Vette for A, the AMG GT3 for B, the CLA 45 for C and the Dunkervoort for D. I'll get the RX as soon as I got two more rotary engines. And I'm saving engines and blueprints for Sbarro Sparta, MP4 8, and MP4 25.

And I think it might be true that GL gives you more of the cards you have. I tested it for V6s right now and the game's giving me more V6s and no V8 (which I spend immediately). So maybe I'll start stockpiling V8s as well to see if they're gonna give me more of it :D

In any case I'm stockpiling all the legendary engines just in case the new king after the Vulcan needs one of them. And it seems the game is giving me more of them when I keep them in my inventory. I was stockpiling FIV8s for my SLK and I got a good rate of getting them. But once I spent them making my SLK 5050pro, the game stopped giving me any!

I think your tactic of keeping at least 2 engines of every kind in your inventory could be very useful. This way, the game might not try to force you to buy them at the shop. It might even be a good idea to keep the engines you don't want at 0 in your inventory to try to trick the algorithm of the game. It might automatically try to starve you of that engine (which you don't really need) so you won't be starved of the engines you really need.

About fast micro drifting and triple nitro tapping, a gamepad or a keyboard for Android might definitely help you! There are even people using a `steering wheel`. Check this youtube vid. I think they are using an Android Emulator which gives you tons of flexibility for controls.

As for steering sensitivity, as I said, I've always had it at 100% ever since I tried to replicate the best runs I've seen on youtube in any car. There's no way you can perfectly replicate the best run without 100% steering sensitivity. In this game, you `need` all the steering you can get. It's imperative for top results in both events and multiplayer. I always place top 200 (or top 500 at worst when a max pro vehicle is available for all and when the event is on for too long a time because I spend half an hour on an event at max and I don't try over and over and over all day for a couple of days) in events when I have the best car at max pro and when I have around half an hour to train intensively. I can't do it without 100% steering sensitivity. Indeed at lower sensitivities, you even need to drift at some turns where you wouldn't need to at 100%. It helps immensely even at shoulder to shoulder fights in multiplayer. You need all the steering you can to squish him against the wall when you're shoulder to shoulder.

And you're right, it would be very difficult to microdrift or drift punch as fast and as good as possible using a single finger for both brakes and nitro. I've always used separate fingers for brake and nitro and never tried your set up. But my educated guess is that it would be very difficult to do it appropriately. You might think about switching to tilt control coz I've seen videos of people taking the Sector 8 spiral turn perfectly with tilt controls, because they use a dedicated finger for each of the brake and nitro controls. If tilt control is not for you, a keyboard or a gamepad for android would be the way to go. As you can see on the link above, it's even possible to set up a steering wheel using an Android Emulator. People do it in Real Racing 3 also in Android.

And as Tobias Mann said, GL won't let you switch platforms but you can always play Asphalt 8 on an Android Emulator on PC. This way you can play `competitively` on your PC while playing just for fun, less competitively on your Android device, if plugging a keyboard or a gamepad to your Android device doesn't workout well. Besides, it's nice to play the game on a big screen. As I said you can even set up a steering wheel!
