 GOAL CHANGES 

Well since I started this thread my goals have changed a bit. Here's my new list and then why to follow;

1. Own every car

2. Get 100% completion in every event

3. Join a good team and get a top 10 finish

4. *Upgrade every car

5. *Get Group A finish in every Time Trial (collect 100 gold every week for that)

6. *Place in the top 10 of an Online Multiplayer event.

My old list included what many have said... spend no real money. Well I think that ship sailed many months ago. I only have 1 more car to buy and 191 events to race, yet I will have to spend 5,353 gold to acomplish that. I'll get something like 200 gold back in winnings. Still, I would have to race LeMans once a day for 18 months to get that much gold. Well in 18 months MANY new cars will have shown up requiring MANY more gold upgrades The Ferrari Enzo series alone requires 1015 in gold upgrades for 100% completion. Every time I can buy 1019 gold for $20, I will.

 TEAMS 

At first I didn't like teams. I think that's because I was on a bad one. Sure, you put in way too much time for what you win; but it's about the competition. This becomes more important as you near the end of the game and you spend SOOOOOO much time farming. Beating someone along the way adds to the fun. Being on a team got me to start on my GOAL #5. I am now going through all the time trials from the begging and getting Group A times. Each time I beat almost every team mate.

 GOALS 4, 5  are connected. You can't get Group A times without a fully upgraded car. BUT... you can do it with assists on. I currently drive with steering HIGH, brakes LOW and traction ON. I will never plaze in the top 10 in an Online Multiplayer event without learning hwo to drive with no assist.

 GOAL 6  is like NINJA hard. You must master the art of no assist driving... that's where the real speed is. Almost everyone that is accussed of cheating is just really good at no assist driving. I have raced their ghosts (time trials) and can see how they do it, I'm just not good enough yet. But I am WAYYYYY better than I was 9 months ago!! I looked at one of my first time trials and I was in 1,999,369 place!! After I redid the race I was in 9,292 place, which was enough for Group A. To get to the top 10 you need; a fully upgraded car, no assists, perfect lines and no slipping at all. That takes a lot of dedication. So...

An asterix * appears next to the goals that I may never achieve. Real Racing keep adding more cars that are more expensive and have more expensive upgrade trees. I may just get sick of it. I may not want to dedicate the time needed to master no assist driving... I have a busy non-virtual life!

COULD YOU IMAGINE STARTED THE GAME TODAY??

If you missed the NASCAR update, you will have to fork out 3000 gold to buy each car (no 20% off any of them). You will then need to spend another 2953 gold minimum to reach 100% completion. That won't be enough for Group A time trial times though.

If you missed Pursuit of Victory you will need to spend 2470 gold to buy all the cars, then at least 490 gold for upgrades to the Audi R-18 to get 100% completion (FAR from group A time trial for each car).

That's 8913 gold for just those 2 missed series. I would have to do 922 LeMans races at my current driver level for that much gold. At one race a day, that's 2 1/2 years for just 7 cars. No way!!! People may be right, the Fire Monkeys may have crossed the line now. It's just going to be to daunting for new people I think.
