User:LoveFastCars/Gold Coins

Gold coins and R$ are the two currencies in Real Racing 3 that allow you to buy cars and upgrades that make your cars more competitive.

Please kindly note that Gold is the single most valuable asset in the game. It comes really slow, and spends very quickly. Extreme moderation is in order. I'll Explain:

Gold is the very first thing that's introduced after the initial Orientation drive to familiarize you with driving. You're given two choices- both of which are fairly useless cars for advancing, but you must choose. The Nissan Sylvia costs $25,700, but only goes 151 Mph out of the box, the Ford Focus RS costs R$33,000 but base Mph is 163, so for a little more money you get a much faster car that doesn't need to be upgraded much to complete the task. The cheaper car ends up costing more for it to be competitive. One of the wiki administrators Sirebel has created an excellent spreadsheet of which cars would be the wisest to buy based on overall cost and return after winning all the events each car can be used in.
