I'd just ike to air some points on how strategy affects me and in particular the acquisition of gold. I really appreciate all the work and thought that has gone into developing and explaining how to get gold and what you will need to do.

Unfortunately for me I am never going to get far in the game as I can't amass the gold needed and I have no intention of paying the exorbitant prices being charged by the developers.

I have been playing (on and off) for 4 years I think it is, using an Ipad2. It was fine in the early days, but as the races became more complex, the rendition of the game on my Ipad deteriorated. I now have the ipad running on it's least memory usage but still can only compete in most races off-lne. This can be frustrating and time consuming because for most of the events, other than career mode, I need to be on-line to download each race, then go off-line to race and then get back on line to record the result and download the next race. My Ipad is quite unpredicatable, so this can take 2-3 minutes up to 10-15 minutes each time. That is ignoring the times that the games lock up or become very notchy. I know I should get a better platform, but I can't justify the cost just to play one game.

I am on level 270 so can collect  270 per level up, (this takes me 3-4 days on average as I don't have the time or will to farm more often), 100 gold a month on the daily reward, and a few gold on career or event  successes. I have never saved more than 350 gold at any one time as there is always something tempting to try (and invariably fail) each month. I can never afford enough gold to u/grade the cars to a high enough level to reach the final race. (I have 123 of 209Perhaps I should ignore the  6 days events and concentrate on building up gold to the sevral hundred that you advise. It would take 3-4 months I guess. I also don't seem to have enough time to complete most events in the allotted days. eg the present Nascar events, although fun, I have only reached 65% and it is nearly over. So yet another batch of gold wasted.

If anyone can give me advice to help me progress further and more effectively it will be more than welcome.
