I've said it before but this game is worse than Monopoly for teaching the values of capitalism. The more you have the more you get.

However, it isn't as bad as Elpreciado suggests because he is regularly in Group A/B as he's actually a very good driver with a well stocked garage.

You do mostly need the top car, though occassionally the second car is almost as fast (and occassionally faster) but you don't need them fully upgraded to get into group C. I can often get into group C without upgrading but it takes some practice to get a good line. The reason is that there are a lot of people borrowing upgrades who use it to compensate for not getting the right lines. You can beat them by driving better.

If you want to get into group C overall you will typically need a couple of the top cars fully upgraded and you can compensate for the others with good driving. If you want to improve your line around the track then follow the ghost of a top driver (Elpreciado is a good choice).

And lastly, forget about it this week. Hong Kong is seriously skewing the figures and I haven't even been in group C for three weeks now. I'm usually in group C without much effort and group B if I have the right cars (which is now increasingly becoming the case - see point 1).
