EVENT
LIST
I WAS FLOORED AS I TOOK MY 2010 CAMARO SS THROUGH LEVEL FIVE AFFINITY IN THE MATTER OF FIVE OR SO RACES AND FOUND THAT ALL UPGRADES WOULD BE FREE WITH CHEVROLET. I RAN THROUGH MY CAR LIST AT THAT POINT AND FIXED UP ALL MY CHEVROLET'S. I QUICKLY BEGAN ACCUMULATING LEVEL FIVE AFFINITY IN ALL THE MAJOR BRANDS I RACE REGULARLY.
I WAS EVEN MORE IMPRESSED WITH THE KICKBACK TURN 10 GRACIOUSLY GAVE US IN THE FORM OF DIFFICULTY BONUS PERCENTAGES. I MAKE +125% OF MY RACE EARNINGS JUST FOR MY STYLE OF ALMOST NO ASSIST RACING WITH REAL DAMAGE, TIRE DEROGATION AND FUEL CONSUMPTION SIMULATED. THIS FEATURE TRULY MAKES THE GRIND FEEL MORE LIKE A LABOR OF LOVE.
THE LAST FEATURE I FOUND TO BE BENEFICIAL TO ME WAS THE ADDITION OF RACE BONUS DRIVER REWARDS. EVERYONE WANTS TO HIT LEVEL 50 AND GO BEYOND BUT IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE LANDMARK WE STRIVE FOR. AS YOU WIDDLE AWAY AT RACES YOU FIND THAT THE MORE COMPETITIVE YOU MAKE THE FIELD THE GREATER REWARD YOU RECEIVE IN THE FORM OF DRIVER LEVEL REWARDS. I FOUND MYSELF HUNTING FOR THE BONUS RACES TO REACH THE NEXT DRIVER LEVEL AND REWARD CAR.
I AM MORE THAN IMPRESSED WITH THE TIME THAT WAS TAKEN TO FIND A WIDE VARIETY OF AUTOMOBILES FOR US TO WIN FOR PLUGGING AWAY AT THE EVENT LIST. ALTHOUGH THE GIFTED CARS STOP AT LEVEL 50, THE FUN NEVER CEASES.
