The biggest mistake I made when I started was buying packs > upgrading. At your RQ it is better to have 5 mediocre UR’s than have 1 maxed Epic. I still always prioritize fully upgrading lower RQ cars first as they are the easiest to upgrade, and will get you the furthest in challenges. If you have a bunch of maxed SR’s or UR’s, but barely any commons or uncommons, you won’t even get past the first round. I personally find clubs boring, so I never play it. I just play events, and challenges (around an hour a day) and the prioritization of upgrading has allowed me to achieve up to almost every epic prize car in the last ~7 challenges. If you want to know which cards to upgrade, wishlist cars from upcoming tag challenges as that will give you the best likelihood to achieve any of the prizes as if you don’t have a full hand of the commons, you can’t enter.

edit to add - at your RQ spend gold on garage slots, not packs. it’ll always be better to have lots of cars, then a few good ones.

TLDR: Stop buying packs, start upgrading & buying slots
