I do understand and sympathize with what you're saying, Guillejarque .

In theory and morality, I agree 100%.

In reality, I'm a three day old player who downloaded RR3 on a whim, and jumped into Retro rivals, excited at the chance of winning a Lamborghini Countach. At first, I crushed the opposition. As the field got more even, I started pouring R$ and gold, even vip'ed the car, and upgraded quite a bit. (The car has a performance rating of 31.8 now ;p ) - Still, with the upgrades, eventually I hit a wall on day 4 stage 04. Front first into the concrete barrier at full speed. I could not figure it out.

I read some messages online, some people claimed it was easy, and won it without a many upgrades. I either was reading the experiences of a virtual racing God, or I was missing something crucial about the game mechanics.

So here I am. Now with a better understanding of how the game works. While I do think challenging content makes the game more fun, I also have learned not to upgrade the car so quickly it turns into a disadvantage. For the last bit of Retro rivals, I've certainly spent too much R$ and gold - even a vip package for real cash - to let that Lamborghini slip now. Even if it means looking like a fool on Spa-Franchorchamps for a few races.

Besides, I decided the most fun way to lose a couple races, was to try running with no assists ;) Wheee! Crash!
