I've decided to try to max out my affinities as well, starting from A to Z.
I don't think it would take that long, the way to do it is use 3 100% or 60% affinity mods on a longer race. I was doing the endurance races quite a bit, but I'm starting to do longer free race events to mix it up, plus I only have a couple cars in the endurance race section that aren't maxed out. Two nights ago I did a 50 lap race at Daytona oval in the koenigsegg one:1, with some affinity mods. Only took 35 minutes or so and gained quite a few affinity levels, I want to say around 7. I only have 18 maxed out so far. Some of them will be a grind, the ones with only a couple not very fun cars to drive.
Maybe one day...
My approach with what cars to tune is very similar to yours. I've mainly been sticking to A class recently, but I like to pick the oddballs. You get some wide results from all kinds of different cars, and it's always fun to bring a car that would seem like it would be outclassed, and end up winning. One favorite is an A-class Mazda Cosmo!I race S class online, so with no mods and the total drive time to get to 25 is usually around 4-5 hours, total actual time is probably closer to 6 or 7 hours because of the time I spend in lobbies and loading screens. I find in rivals you can level up quicker if you run longer stints because of less time spent in loading screens.
Oddly enough I've still yet to reach level 10 with Ferrari, it seems I'm too busy driving Abarths, Volvos and Auto Unions to be driving them.
That trick only worked because the top rival had a negative time. It will not work on this game.
It is?! I'm so ashamed nowThe Cosmo is a certified leaderboard car, though!
I definitely am impressed with how close you can get seemingly different cars in this game, though. So long as it's in the lower classes, where cars are still fairly road-worthy, anyway. Looking at the Lime Rock board, who would have expected a Jalpa, Sagaris, Cosmo, Mitsubishi GTO, Integra, and a freakin' Fury to be within 0.4 seconds of each other?!
I never knew that, but I was definitely surprised with how well balanced it was in general.
It is?! I'm so ashamed now
It's very interesting, the small gap with the times. Even more so when go and compare the specs of each of the vehicles. The differences are so broad. There's lightweight, low-HP cars that you'd expect to be up there, but then there's the near 600hp~, 3000LB~ vehicles thrown in there too. The one that surprises me the most though, is that FF Integra. I did not expect that it would do as well as it did, hell I didn't even think an FF car would be competitive in such a high class. The Jalpa has not failed me so far, no matter what class I've thrown it in. It just looks god awful with the Forza Aero, though
These past two weeks have been dedicated to purchasing and tuning cars into A class with a base tune. If they manage to break 54, then I'll take the time and work a tune with it. Most of the time, these cars tend to work well on most other courses too, surprisingly.
It's a new feature that was implemented, damage carries over indefinitely.
I'll check. Gimme a minute to finish this race.
Sounds good to me man! If you're actually willing to do so, I'll take you up on your challenge.Your right behind me level wise. I think I'm 333. Want to race to 1000?
