So, by the end of this update I will have finally managed to complete the game (all cars, 100% completion) and I think it is fair to share how I have done this without spending actual money or farming 24/7.

Everyone gets a certain number of gold ads per day. The trigger for getting new gold ads is to get to the next day. You can manipulate the settings of your mobile phone (or tablet) by changing the time zone. I live in the Netherlands GMT+1. There are two times zones that I use to get unlimited gold ads, namely Pago Pago (American Samoa) which is GMT-11 and Kiritimati (Christmas Island) which is GMT+14.

Let's say that it is currently 10:00 AM on the 27th of February in the Netherlands and the game currently gives me gold ads. What I would do is to "go back in time", by changing the time zone to Pago Pago, where it is 22:00 PM 26th of February. After changing the timezone I use up all my gold ads until the R$ ads start (you will see the gold image change to the R$ image) and then I flash forward to my actual timezone, where it is the 27th of February, thus triggering the game to give me a new set of gold ads to use (you will see the R$ image changing back to the gold image). Then I go back to Pago Pago again and use up my gold ads, et cetera.

The above works until it is the 27th of February in Pago Pago as well. So what to do? Search for a timezone where it is already the 28th of February. In my case I choose Kiritimati. For this to work I will need to use up my gold ads in my own timezone (Amsterdam GMT+1), because I want changing the timezone to Kiritimati to trigger the game to give me a new set of gold ads.

If you accidently use up your gold ads in the "wrong" timezone, leaving you in a situation where changing timezones back and forth doesn't trigger the game into giving you new gold ads, play one R$ ad in the timezone where it is one day "earlier". After that change to the timezone that triggers the new gold ads and you you're all set again.

I consider the above not cheating. Firstly, because I do not hack the game. The only thing I do is changing the timezone on my own mobile phone, which I am allowed to do. Secondly, watching ads benefits FM, so I don't see any harm done. However, I do think that as soon as the knowledge above is widely known FM will do something about it. So I suggest to try it and get as much gold as you can while it is still available.

Ps. You can easily play 90 ads per hour. I usually play the ads while I am walking the dogs are when watching tv. I earn up to 150-200 gold watching ads on days where I have sufficient time available.

Ps (2) For those that run out of ads completely (this happens quite a lot if you use the method described above). Go to settings/privacy/ads/ and reset the advertising identifier.
