You made this game lots of fun for me!

This game is gorgeous! And the driving dynamics are great. I love that they represent actual courses (for the most part -- although I do love Melbourne). After just a few days playing last year I had so much fun that I searched online and found you all!

And I immediately learned two important hints:

1 - be very cautious with spending gold -- it's scarce!

2 - learn to drive without assists as early as possible -- some events require it, it can make you faster, and it's more fun

You saved the game for me! I'm now level 109 and having a ball as a daily casual player of about 15 to 45 minutes per day. Otherwise I would have quit long ago and missed out.

Because of the knowlede here, I dropped any focus on completing things 100%. The focus instead became: use gold efficiently to play longer but also to have more fun. If the series isn't lots of fun and I can complete it 50% without spending GC but it takes 100GC to get to 100%, just do 50%. If a car is fun to drive, doesn't need FU to complete the series, but, say, FU is only 25GC more and it's in 3 series -- heck yeah, go ahead.

However, it's about having fun playing not optimizing gold spend. Gold is only a means to play more. Farming isn't fun for me (not a LeMans fan and the CFS 4-lapper is the only one open to me so far) so I don't do it (rarely I will do the 4-lapper on a bonus day, gah, I can't imagine doing 10 laps regularly -- more power to those of you who do, you deserve the fruits of your work!).

Also not a fan of watching ads or mindlessly mashing the ads button. I'll do the 5GC ads per day, but more, nah. So I only get 300-500 GC per month from daily bonus, ads, levelling up.

So, I rely on the info here and LTS/event experiences to get the most of those coins. I can't do all the events/LTS but I can do many of them. And you make it easy to see which career and bonus series I can do for either GC profit or low GC cost!

And starting in Amateur I turned off driving assists, so now that's no big deal at all. And it is way more fun. Occasionally, I'll turn some back on if under time pressure in a limited time series and I keep screwing up, but frankly, it's just not as fun if I don't crash out when I make a mistake or if I have to fight the assist to do what I want to do.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
