Talk:Speedrush TV Challenge - Season 3/@comment-24.210.21.80-20160106230249/@comment-27123099-20160106232753

They come out with these challenges fairly often, seems like a lot more recently. Often, the prize car is one that would cost a lot to purchase otherwise. Like the P1 GTR, Regera, Le Mans cars, Ferrari F1 cars and the like which can be in the 1000GC range to purchase and which were all available originally in Special Events.

But, they also give us events such as this Speedrush event (3rd season) and events like the Stingray challenge where you can win a cheaper car as well. But still, the 12C Spider is being sold for 300GC if you don't win it, so it's not even that cheap. I'd much rather get it for the 37GC I spent on upgrades and skipping 5.3 instead.

Additionally, all of these cars can surely be utilized in more than a few races, depending on how far you've progressed. For instance, a lot of people complained about the Regera because you need the Agera R in order to pregess beyond the first tier of races in the Hypercar Charge event. Would you prefer not to win it and have to fork out 1000GC (or maybe 800GC on sale) instead?

I personally didn't get much use out of this 12C Spider because I had already completed the Spider Showcase, so I only had to complete the 12C Spider specific events to get back to 100%. But I'm not concerned, it's still a car I picked up for a bargain.

To each their own I guess though.
