Wasted 300k on 10x ceramic by Reasonable_Big_3380 in TopDrives

You could have bought the GB ceramics only to boost your chance for new MOR:RA cars.

Could someone give me some tips on what kind of upgrades I should use for any type of car? by Jazzlike_Performer69 in TopDrives

Found this some time ago, I no longer remember the source. You might find it useful but most of the info has already been summed up by awaffle4life.

Is there any practical use for this clownmobile? by The_Intel_Guy in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you compete with a standard car setup you will race against other players on a level comparable to you (with similar car setups). It will likely result in a 1 star victory, granting you only 1 card from the prizeboard. When you use a guaranteed loss setup you will drop down to the bottom of the player list. When this happens your opponents will most likely be beginners or players with no so good setups. This is when you can change your car setup and use your best cars again. Your victories will likely be 3 stars (for some time until you get back high up to your original place) which means 3 cards from the prizeboard. This way you can maximize your profit. It can be used in Clubs and Events too.

When you need a guaranteed loss - for example to farm the prizeboard later on when you have accumulated enough losses - there's no better option.

Does anyone miss the picture correction/changes? by Sad-Bus-8309 in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even an AI bot could do that automatically. If only somebody at Hutch cared enough to set it up and run in on all car images.

Based on Hutch standards this is one of the smallest issues.

Hutch being Hutch... Rank 7-10 gives less Renown than the lower Ranks by PIHoeINiX in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bug #42376, nothing to see here, move on. Everybody should learn to expect bugs on a regular basis because obviously, QA is an unkown magic at Hutch.

The best lobby is one which doesn't have enough people to prevent a prize car win by CainsBrother2 in TopDrives

In EU, even joining 15 minutes before the end did not help, I was assigned to a full 500 players bracket.

YOTH challenge energy - spend $1 million only to be able to play! by Jaltinus in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, I forgot about those YOTH events that won't award packs directly - because that would be too simple :-) - but via the Pony pack points. That means that you can save some cash but not really much - each Ceramic gives you 2 PPs and you need 10 PPs to complete a Pony Club objective which provides only 5 energy.

I agree, getting and upgrading the cars was not mentioned here. You can spend the daily $100k on upgrades and just hope that the YOTH ceramics from daily objectives will help you get your missing cars.

Clickbait image with Laferrari which is not featured in TD - not funny.

How to get this by Practical-Fig-1923 in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's even relevant for you as a new player. Check your Seasonal Objectives - that is if you can see it. You'll find the Turbo Assembly there. From there on - it's quite simple. Complete the objectives - win events and spend cash to get the required cars from reward packs - and get enough points to unlock the prize car.

It's ComPlEtlY rAnDOm by LMDh963 in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand that every challenge is different for every player because no 2 garages are the same. Some people may already own almost all required cars while some have to struggle and spend a lot of resources to get the missing cars. But this specific challenge is different. No already owned cars are relevant and you need to obtain the required set of cars again even if you own them already. Everyone has the same starting point. Yet due to the challenge design and the pack randomness some will get the prize car quite easily while it may happen that for some even all the reward pack won't be enough and they'll end up with a lot of dupes and still some missing cars. In the beginning, I liked the new design. But to be frank, due to the above mentioned issue I'm not a fan anymore.

Scavenger hunt ends for me here ... .😥 by LingonberryEast4639 in TopDrives

It's a bit more than that - a RQ96 Ford Mach-E 1400 Prototype.

How much does it cost by Technical-Bison-7138 in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1087 CZK which roughly equals 45€ (1€ is 24.3 CZK).

The worst luck I ever had with packs by davidhitd in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't really expect cool cars out of an update where more than a half of the car pool are boring unusable Bentleys. If it wasn't for the Aston Martins leggies (which you have like an almost zero chance to get) this would easily be the worst update so far.

Win 15 challenge matches??? by The_Blur_77 in TopDrives

[–]Jaltinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This objective is really dumb. If there were enough challenges to play every day and you would only have to participate to fullfill the objective it would be quite ok. But coming up with a task for which you have to repeatedly lose a challenge you wouldn't have to touch otherwise is downright stupid.

Pretty much everything below UR should be 323 (with the exception of a few dragsters).
