I don't know how 3 class A cars are enough for you, I have 8 class A maxed to cover every track, still with option for more and the maxed Cosworth.

For your suggestions though, Pole Position doesn't exist so it has no impact. Reduced risk of crash maybe but whats the point, if you have a crash you spend points to get back the upgrades otherwise you spend points to not spend those points(crash).
StreetSoldier [934213]
Track records 4 to 5 cars max... Anyways yes it doesn't exist my point being it could use an update. The system itself is the most basic it can be.

Again you have 8 fully maxed class a what are you even racing for? Absolutely nothing. That's my point. And someone with less wins less experience etc still beat you sometimes. The whole thing could be better ??‍?? then again they ruin most shit with updates ?
StreetSoldier [934213]
Or you could own all upgrades and swap depending on race ??‍?? why did you need to Max out them all when it's as easy as changing parts around ?
DaDood [2204689]
According to RD's guide "Individual car experience", the car gets better as it gets used more with the same parts equipped. So if you swap parts, you have a car that is not as good as a car that didn't swap parts. Under this theory, multiple cars upgrades is best.

The number of points to get the On Track merit (2500) would seem to indicate the developers expect players to use those points for multiple car upgrades. Not definitive proof, but an indication.

The more and more you get into the game the more you question the guides provided. Not everyone's experience is the same so why go off 1 persons guide? ? maybe they just started to suck less and they got better. There's been a lot of things like that speculated in torn just like the stock market not being some bullshit code that they consistently f**k up. It's not based off anything other then a mathematical code and coding

Why not fully upgrade more cars, and get a full racing fleet built to cover all the tracks? That way you can join and do well in tournaments and give racing the meaning that you are searching for.

Whats easier, respending points for each track or just have the needed configuration already available? I mean just do the math come on...

I've spent a lot of points redoing the same car. Long run I expect it's cheaper to have two or three or more of the same.

honestly you don't have more points then you could need.

Racing goes beyond being able to compete in official races.

You need a honda nsx for dirt
You need a honda nsx for tarmac
you need a lexus lfa for tarmac (long ratio)
you need a sierra cosworth for mudpit.


For docks you need a ford gt40
for convict you need a mercedes slr
some claim to use a lamborghini on uptown (i don't use it)
Audi R8 for stone park

But those are 8 cars

I on top of those have extra honda nsx'es since I test them out and some tracks i use a different turbo

Once you have these you can go for lower class cars too.

If you count 3 per class that's another 11 cars added.

Total 19 cars already => 5054 points needed for that, this does not include any crashes.

If you have those 19 there is not a single possible tournament you can't compete in.
StreetSoldier [934213]
So you have 18 upgraded cars... Awesome you've spent the upgrades in the same shit. Did you not see that bored me

Win plenty without 18 cars I'm all set with 18. Anyways my point was towards points towards races not cars. And maybe just a little switch up from the 10 years of the same old same.
