After a month of furious racing, the Blackridge Spirit event has ended. For me, it has been such a close call! In the end, I didn't have the power on the BMW M4 to make it through:
My BMW had a final PR of 675 - in the end, I've been lagging too far behind with upgrades. I had to buy out the second-last block (again, very close, just 10 behind the required PR), which got my stash down to 500 gold.
I've been racing to the last one - made it through race 12, even against a PR difference of close to 100, with all tricks I could come up with. But in the end, buying out the last race for 15 blueprints would have cost 750 gold.
That's a fair price in my book, and I would have paid, if I had the stash. But I wasn't going to pay real-world money - $15 to get enough gold isn't worth a single star on an event car for me.
It's these kind of situations where the game can exert maximum pressure on you, and it's important to take a step back, analyse the situation objectively, and judge if it's worth the price. For me, I could imagine some way more interesting things I could buy for $15.
What's next
All in all, this was a fun event, but quite exhausting, especially that it hit my weaker, secondary cars. So for now, I'm left with a three-star LaFerrari, and will continue where I left off - upgrading my Mercedes AMG all the way, to see if it gets me into levels 15 and 16 of the story mode.
I'll need the Viper as well soon, to farm the Tuner Trials for legendary materials, and I'll need to grow my gold stash back, so I'll be having a break from the high-intensity events for a bit.
Congratulations to everyone who made it through to the final stage, and to completion!
