Talk:Front-Runner (v5.5.0)/@comment-27945602-20170908121004

I won the car on the original event. If this series is copy-pasted like other Flashback events this will be a hard one and my experience before will be helpful a little bit.

I skipped 7.1, 8.5, 8.6 (115gold) and bought 3 gold upgrade (175gold). Why I skipped? Because last 2 mission required too much gold upgrade (before getting nerfed). I tried fully upgrading but it was nearly impossible. It needed like WTTT overall A class driving skill even with almost fully upgraded car so I think that just skipping is rational. Rather than spending nearly a thousand gold on the car (event with that gold there was no guarantee I would won the car) it is better to just skip.

This story was before being nerfed. With nerfed goal there were lots of reports of winning the car with around PR 90 but it must be still hard for us to complete.

Day 1 or so can be bot-managed buy as you reach day 6 or 7 bot managing will be impossible because of designated goals like Norm or Eric etc so you should do gold upgrade.

Venom has weird upgrading tree in that it requires 2 gold upgrade to do next level R$ upgrade except brake and tire. The speed-related upgrade has 2 step gold upgrade(R$-gold-gold-R$) while brake/grip upgrade bas 1 step upgrade(R$-Gold-R$). So here is 1 strategy.

STRATEGY 1 'only upgrading'

If you want to upgrade and not skip you need to think wisely. it's true that  tire/grip upgrade are cheaper than drive train, body and engine upgrade to do next R$ upgrade as they are 3 level while the opposite are 4 level. But as this special event speed-intensive mission especially at 8-5, 8-6, 7-1, 7-3. So i think is is better to buy to gold upgrade and next R$ upgrade for each drivetrain/body(1442111). This will improve the speed spending less gold.

STRATEGY 2 'skipping and upgrading'

If you are not going to upgrade heavily (>90) You will need to skip 7-1, 8-5 and 8-6 AT MINIMUM. And depending upon your skill more should be skipped. With only R$ upgrade you might need to skip too many events that just spending skip fee on the upgrade must be rational.

Minimum estimated skip are 7-1, 8-5, 8-6. If you need to skip more than 10 events upgrading will be better (It can be more expansive but As you get upgraded car while you only get a R$ upgrade car if you choose to just skip, upgrading is rational)

STRATEGY 3 'all skip'

Around 10+ should be skipped, but this will cost less than 500g. This is around 50% sale so this is not a bad deal.

As always thank you for all of you reading this horrible English, wish you good luck on Front Runner.
