Introduced in the [[Car Mastery Update]], '''Car Mastery''' (or just '''Mastery''') is another single player game mode of ''[[Asphalt 8: Airborne]]''. It offers 15 single-lap races with traffic, called Challenges, for each car of the game, with the possibility to earn [[Credits]], [[Tokens]], Car [[Upgrades]], [[Pro Boxes]], Boosters, and {{A8Licenses| }} '''[[Licenses]]'''. This mode is only available for players with at least 135 stars in the [[Asphalt 8: Airborne/Career Mode|Career Mode]].

A similar version, called Moto Mastery, is used for motorcycles.

For each car in the game there are 15 Mastery Challenges available. These races increase in difficulty: the ranks of the cars of NPC opponents will gradually increase from the initial car rank for Challenge 1 to MAX+PRO rank for Challenge 15. To be able to accept a certain Challenge, i.e. take part in the race, each previous Challenge must have been completed. Each Challenge also requires the car to have a certain rank; challenges 1 and 2 being available without upgrades, and increasing until Challenge 15, which requires a maxed and pro'ed car with the exception of some elite cars like the Mazda RX-8 (some low and mid end D Class cars and some low end C Class cars like the Ford Focus RS do not require a fully pro'ed vehicle for their final challenge).

Challenges are races either one of these types: [[Classic]], [[Unplugged]], or [[Flawless]]. All of these race modes require a first place finish in order to be successfully completed. The Unplugged and Flawless modes, however, come with a twist: in an Unplugged race no nitro bottles appear on the track, whilst in the Flawless mode, the player is not allowed to wreck their car. A wrecked car results in immediate disqualification and the race ending with no credits awarded.

According to the in-game database, the AI racers are actually ranked higher than what the game shows (except at the first Mastery Challenge). For example, a Mastery Challenge with a required rank of 1725 actually has the AI racers ranked at 1777, despite the game saying otherwise. Because of this, in the later Mastery Challenges, the player must not make mistakes in order to finish first.

{{A8Licenses| }} '''Licenses''', also sometimes called '''Mastery Points''', are permanent collectable items which work as an experience level, similar to the star system, which you cannot ''buy'' but only ''earn''. However instead of giving you access to new levels, the Licenses give you access to various rewards such as new [[Decal]] packs, and cars exclusively available through Licenses: [[Camaro Z/28]] ({{A8Licenses| 300}}),  [[Datsun 280Z]] ({{A8Licenses| 650}}), [[Shelby Cobra 427]] ({{A8Licenses| 1050}}) and [[Cadillac 16 Concept]] ({{A8Licenses|1600}}). See the detailed rewards on the page [[Car Mastery/Car Mastery Rewards|Car Mastery Rewards]].

{{Main|Credits#Obtaining Credits}}
−
The Mastery mode is interesting for farming in the classical sense once you have mastered your Class S or Class A car. Farming basically means gathering a large number of credits in a short time. The following are some good farming races:
  
−
*Mastery Challenge 15 for the [[Lamborghini Veneno]] and the [[McLaren Mercedes MP4-25]] in [[Alps]] which pays {{A8Credits|5,800 - 6000}} for about 55 seconds of driving.
 
−
** In comparison to the Veneno's Season 9 race which takes at least 01:30:000 and pays {{A8Credits|4,725}}) or the [[McLaren P1™]] 15th challenge in [[The Great Wall|Temple Drive]] which pays {{A8Credits|5,915}}.
  
−
*Mastery Challenge 15 for the [[Pagani Huayra BC]] in [[London|The London Eye]] which pays about {{A8Credits|6200}} for 50 seconds of driving.
  
−
*Mastery Challenge 15 for the [[McLaren 675LT]] and [[W Motors Lykan HyperSport]] in [[Dubai|Dubai Reverse]] which pays about {{A8Credits|6100}} in approximately 48 seconds for a clean run.
  
−
**This was, until the introduction of the [[McLaren MP4-31]], the most efficient farming race available.
 
−
**It is also much easier to win this race owing to the known shortcut in Dubai, the barrel roll cutting across the bridge, which if taken, virtually guarantees a victory, as the AI drivers do not take the shortcut.
 
−
*Mastery Challenge 15 for the McLaren MP4-31 set in [[Dubai]] which pays about {{A8Credits|6400}} in 44 seconds [please confirm this].
 
−
**This is to date the most efficient farming race. However, owing to the difficulty in obtaining and upgrading the MP4-31, few people are able to access this farming race.
 
−  
−
However, not all pro'ed cars are suitable for farming, for instance for the [[Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning]] in [[Tokyo]] gives {{Credits|5,925}}, but because Tokyo is a long track and the race type is Unplugged, the credits per second are not very high. Also the opponents are at the same car upgrade level, you risk to not finish first if you crash. Elite cars are also unsuitable for farming owing to their elite status, resulting in them having to be tuned after 4-5 races.
 
−  
−
In some cases, the 14th Mastery Challenge can still also be used as a farming race. Examples include the [[W Motors Fenyr Supersport]] ([[Rio de Janeiro|Rapido Park]], Classic) and [[Lamborghini Egoista]] (Alps, Flawless).
  
−

CAUTION: the numbers given in the following paragraph were based on Rewards prior to the [[Research & Development Update]]. It has been confirmed that the Race Rewards and the Challenge Rewards were reduced, but it is unclear by how much. The current total might be closer to {{A8Credits|3,000,000}} plus {{A8Credits|8,000,000}}.
  
−  
−
: However in a less strict sense of the term, it is possible to earn a lot of credits while playing, independent of the car's level: among all races of all cars, the total of Race Rewards are estimated to {{A8Credits|4,500,000}}, the medals reward around {{A8Credits|400,000}}, and the Challenge Rewards close to {{A8Credits|12,000,000}}, not counting the value of the Pro Boxes, Boosters or car upgrades. However these credits can only be obtained if the necessary cars are owned.
  
−  
−
Players with [[VIP System|VIP Levels]] [[VIP System/Rewards & Extras#VIP Level 3|3 or higher]] receive extra Credits bonuses per race.

For each race you play in the Mastery mode, you get a number of rewards. Similar to events, you can cash in those rewards after the race, or you can decide to leave them for later.

Introduced in the Car Mastery Update, Car Mastery (or just Mastery) is another single player game mode of Asphalt 8: Airborne. It offers 15 single-lap races with traffic, called Challenges, for each car of the game, with the possibility to earn Credits, Tokens, Car Upgrades, Pro Boxes, Boosters, and Licenses Licenses. This mode is only available for players with at least 135 stars (this was increased to 150 stars in the Fifteenth Anniversary Update) in the Career Mode.

A similar version, called Moto Mastery, is used for motorcycles.

Challenges

Challenge selection Screen

For each car in the game there are 15 Mastery Challenges available. These races increase in difficulty: the ranks of the cars of NPC opponents will gradually increase from the initial car rank for Challenge 1 to MAX+PRO rank for Challenge 15. To be able to accept a certain Challenge, i.e. take part in the race, each previous Challenge must have been completed. Each Challenge also requires the car to have a certain rank; challenges 1 and 2 being available without upgrades (challenges 3, 4 and 5 were also available without upgrades prior to the Research & Development Update), and increasing until Challenge 15, which requires a MAX and PRO car.

Challenges are races either one of these types: Classic, Unplugged, or Flawless. All of these race modes require a first place finish in order to be successfully completed. The Unplugged and Flawless modes, however, come with a twist: in an Unplugged race no nitro tanks appear on the track, whilst in the Flawless mode, the player is not allowed to wreck their car. A wrecked car results in immediate disqualification and the race ending with no credits awarded.

According to the in-game database, the AI racers are actually ranked higher than what the game shows (except at the first Mastery Challenge). For example, a Mastery Challenge with a required rank of 1725 actually has the AI racers ranked at 1777, despite the game saying otherwise. Because of this, in the later Mastery Challenges, the player must not make mistakes in order to finish first, especially as of the 2018 Spring Update, where the AI racers have become even more aggressive and relentless than before.

Licenses

Car mastery exclusive rewards
Main article: Mastery rewards (Asphalt 8)

Licenses Licenses, also sometimes called Mastery Points, are permanent collectable items which work as an experience level, similar to the star system, which you cannot buy but only earn. However instead of giving you access to new levels, the Licenses give you access to various rewards such as new Decal packs, and cars exclusively available through Licenses: Geely GC9 (Licenses 100) Camaro Z/28 (Licenses 300),  Datsun 280Z (Licenses 650), Shelby Cobra 427 (Licenses 1,050) and Cadillac 16 Concept (Licenses 1,600). Licenses are represented as a rectangular blue icon with a beige steering wheel on it.

Challenge Rewards

For each race you play in the Mastery mode, you get a number of rewards. Similar to events, you can cash in those rewards after the race, or you can decide to leave them for later.

Each Challenge grants a Credits reward. Challenges 4, 8, 12 and 15 grant additional rewards according to the following tables.

  • As of the 2020 Lunar New Year Update, MAX-ing out a car unlocks the first 11 races of its Mastery.
  • The graphic language of the Car Mastery is new to the game. While the car overview has a close resemblance to that of Season 9: Beyond, the Challenge selection screen, the Challenge loading screen and the Challenge completion / fail screen have graphic elements and colors which are new to the game. See the gallery below for examples.
  • On the iOS version of the game, there was a glitch in the pre-race cut-scene which is visible sometimes, it shows the name of the car in a distorted layer. It seems this was supposed to look like the end screen but hasn't been finished in time for the release. This has since been fixed.

As soon as you collect the box from the challenge, it morphs into a Random Box 4.
