1) splash screen ads after event but before rewards (used to always annoys me when this results in not getting bonus cash in TT - early on that R$ is important - now - meh...)

2) mini-ads in splash screens on track loading sequence and on "retire/resume" screen

These only seem to get served up when you're online.

Yeah, I was very pleased to always play offline for that reason. For quite a while I even forgot they existed, because I did not have them anymore (I only get online in v3.4.1 to collect the daily free GC on watching the corresponding ads). But recently, I'am starting to get annoyed again by all these ads since I am forced to connect more often :-(
