Firemonkeys have got to earn a crust, so they rely on some players spending real money to advance in the game. It is possible to get through without spending real money, but it is difficult. I spent £2.99 early on to VIP a car and avoid the intrusive advertising. I then spent another £2.99 to VIP the Porsche 919 Hybrid in RTLM so I could get the R$ upgrades immediately - I really wanted to win that car. That's it. I've had hundreds of hours of fun for less than six quid. All of the events are possible - I have never had to spend gold to unlock a tier or a car or skip a stage. I have 96 cars and have just reached the final stage of Fiesta. I'm no expert - anyone can do it. It's a game - enjoy it.

...and I'm not being paid by Firemonkeys, honest.
