No, I am not complaining about the endless left turns and the lack of skills you seem to need to do 20 laps on Richmond. There is some skill involved actually, although a different kind of skill.

This thread is about the NASCAR Series in RR3 as a whole. First, you can buy the Fusion NASCAR for 25 KR$ and upgrading it is really cheap too. Even GC upgrades cost you a fraction of the return you get for completing the preliminary series (Pre season rumble).

Than you can win 4 cars, one of which is the Fusion again, but with slightly different specs. It upgrades to 58.5 if I am correct so you will need it to go 58 to complete the series that it features in. That costs about 750gc. The return is only a fraction of that gc investment.

And you get a series that is almost identical to the Pre Season Rumble, with mostly Cups at Richmond and The Speedway. If my assumptions are correct  that is repeated 4 times. So that gives 5 almost identical series.

What is the point? I have already completed the Rumble and it gave me a nice gc bonus. Why do the same thing over and over again?

And of course, there is room for more, much more. They will expand on the Nascar thing in the near future, as FM already stated.

And also look at that silly online Team Event that is running now. Everyone does endless runs at 17.1 in the Rumble, as it takes only 1 minute to repair the Fusion Nascar. Everyone can do that, you don't even have to finish first in those races.

The most puzzling fact is why they put the NASCAR events first in the order. Beginners start with buying the Fusion NASCAR (they don't have access to anything else) and will have to complete the Pre Season Rumble. So FM considers this whole NASCAR thing as a beginners experience. They are rewarded for finishing the series, with 250kR$ and some 30 gc. Next, they can get access to 4 other series when they invest 750gc. Per car. With the same races at a much higher cost. In gc but in R$ too. Without any reward.

I just don't get it. If this will not put a beginner off, I do not know what will.

I will continue to collect those cars and try to get as far as possible in the adjacent series without spending any gold. The revenue is nice: 50 GC per car and some 25 per series makes 300gc in total. But the whole concept is beyond my grasp.

Anyone who can explain or share some thoughts?
