Blackridge Spirit week 3 - review and analysis

Hi folks!

The third week of the Blackridge Spirit event is over, and that was a tough one. I ended up with a fully-staged-up Ford Mustang, but that wasn't enough for the final PR requirement of 739. I had to buy the last race out, but I think the price of 500 gold for 10 blueprints is still fair, compared to previous events, where we easily had to pay 80 per blueprint.

So, after this week, we actually got to take the beauty for a spin:

She drives beautifully, and even at stage three and without any materials added, she's already faster than my fastest previous, the M4 Razor.

Analysis

So far, they've been consistent with the event races - my main problem was that I was betting on being able to upgrade my parts during the race week, and focus on blueprints beforehand. But then, they threw the Tuner Trials in, which meant I was short on both cash and conversion kits, since farming no longer worked in car series.

The PR requirement and difficulty curve has been consistent, so I'm expecting a final requirement close to or above 800 for week 4. My M4 Razor has a PR of 768 with all-epic parts at maximum, so it should be somewhere around that.

I'm planning ahead for the conversion kits, and I'm very busy farming right now, since my regular M4 is nowhere near that level. Unfortunately, I don't have spare sports parts to switch out the ones from the M4 Razor, that would come in handy now. Anyway, fully expecting to have to buy out the final race again, still within my gold stash.

The car looks like it's worth it - very close to the Koenigsegg, although it's unclear where we'll be able to get the rest of the blueprints. Only downside is that, since it's an event car, we can't do anything to modify it, not even the colour.

Then again, it is a Ferrari.

  1. You can modify the huricana I changed pretty much all its looks from the event green one

    1. Really? You mean the one from the Christmas event? Damn, so far, event cars couldn't be changed. That would have been sweet - now I regret not getting it.
