I'm up to 812.8. Might break 1000 tonight. Also -- though racing people the furthest ahead of you is the fastest way to advance, you make more cash if you plod along and race more people closer to you.

nik -- If you have the cash, join up the Class 5 quick race :):) You could probably beat some of these guys if you have decent lessons.

lol, the funny thing is there are still bugs, croquets and occasionally minis up in the 800s range too.

:Q! Nice!

I know! I'm still around level 30 where you only face people who are same level, so I waited a minute or two to see if he would win a race and move up so I could rape him again. Sadly, no such luck. :(

Yeah. Now I check a few cars ahead (since there is usually a decent rating spread at higher levels) and if I find a guy with a lot of cash I start ping pong'ing back and forth between him and the lowest possible person to try to milk as much out of 'em as possible.

hehe, I like when it's like 4am in the UK cause none of the top top players are around to beat me in the open quick race (SCM4, Robster, Riced, tripod, bishbosh, etc).

congrats on another open win...I placed 5th at 147.564ms. I have a stage 3 TRV with lessons costing about 22K. Not sure that I have what it takes to compete yet. It's taking a long time, I'm only at level 47.

I am stuck at the moment. None of the cars I can race are less than class 4. I have to wing special events to raise funds for lessons and hope some of the guys in front of me go up the ladder and leave me a class 3 to race...

I've got a Maranollo (full stage 3) and lessons are 47k/50k/50k for me right now. With enough lessons the TRVs actually become dangerously competitive with my Maranollo :Q.

I can rarely place in the open quick race during the UK prime time since there are a number of class 6s out there that kill me. Sometimes I can't even place in a class 5 race, but if I keep getting lessons I should get there eventually.

I have a question:

If I buy a stage 3 turbo first, can I also buy a stage 1 turbo after that? Will it just add performance?


edit: aww crap, lost all my stage3 stuff =(

there are two something I don't understand,

1) it seems like we all are having landsliding victories in our records, so they must be a LOT of losers (no pun intended) out there who are really pissed off. I mean, if Mwilding is getting like 1234-75-0 result, so there MUST be around a thousand ppl with negative (Win < Lose) results right???? I am having like 135-20-0 right now.


2) how come it seems like you guys can keep on beating the same dudes over and over again and as a result win a grip of money from those suckers?
I mean, don't you advance faster than those "losers?" (or "the one who didn't win" sounds better)


BOI: I believe you can do that, but it is far more economical to upgrade all the Stage 1 stuff first. coz one Stage III upgrade would cover the entire Stage I and nearly half of the Stage II.
