I got uridium for free on a tape sollotaped to a copy of Zzap 64 magazine!
Zzap 64, those were the days. Jaz Rignall, what a legend. I used to read it in between playing football in a field with jumpers for goalposts.

What do people think about next week's summit with the Nevera Time Attack platinum reward? I'm thinking it's going to be pretty competitive, as the standard Nevera is an extremely good hypercar to start with.

Highly likely I wont be winning one if it is mega competitive as we are pre-the gear balancing update. Im thinking in the coming weeks getting platinum will be easier for me as I perhaps naively only play legit, but this might make me sharper?.

That Terzo Millenio could be a problem for someone that doesn't want to buy it. But I still think it won't matter much. While the Nevera should be decent I don't think players like EV in general. There won't be as much players as for something like that Blackpantha Skyline for example. Something like 180k participants.
 
Since next week’s custom show theme seems to be electrical vehicles, I prepared 3 cars for it (one for each platform). ☺️

And on PC for helping out a random guy from Reddit who requested the solid blue tire (I already helped him get the solid purple tire this week) :

Really love how that Rimac Nevera turned out. 🤩

Okay, so with the announcement for this week I've realised the bigger problem is the bundle includes both the Terzo Millenio and the standard Evija, so it's going to cost around 2.8m.

You can get the Evija Pure Edition from the Electric Odyssey playlist and I assume you'll be able to use that for the Evija event in the summit, so many people will effectively only need the Terzo Millenio, but they'll either have to buy that on its own at full price, or pay even more to get the bundle with the Evija.

I'm not short of credits on my main account, and it already has the Terzo Millenio, so I'll probably just crew up with my other accounts and do the Terzo event with a loan car, and use the Evija Pure Edition for the Evija event. I should still be able to get platinum no problem with one loan car event.

The standard Nevera might also be meta for the events where you can use any electric hypercar, so it could be an extremely expensive week for anyone who wants to use the best cars for each event.

At least they're worth the money, im fond of both cars the terzo's weird motor sounds are cool and they both go like a stabbed rat!

I'm not lucky, I get it. But this is not RNG anymore, this is a RIGGED system!! 🤯
Uff... Now I want to clarify that it's is not a big issue because I have 3 Nitro Chemist sets for HC. But still... Why is it so hard to get that Motorcore part? I lost count how many parts I scraped, merged... It's a lot lot lot. Like it's not already difficult to get any NC part. And it's the same for other categories...

I just had a go at making more NC sets on my main account, and I had 3 partial sets, all missing suspension. I've probably scrapped lots of NC parts in the past as like you I already have several complete sets and don't really need any more.

How likely is this to happen? You have 24 NC parts there, none of which are motorcore. Each part has a 6/7 chance of not being motorcore, so the probability of this happening for 24 parts is (6/7)^24 = 2.5%. BUT, you'd probably think it was rigged no matter which of the 7 types it happened for, and the probability of those 7 outcomes is the sum of the probabilities of each one, so 7 x 2.5 = 17.5%, so not all that unlikely. For my situation, with 3 partial sets all missing the same 1 type of part, the probability becomes pretty high, 44%.

Trailer for new playlist is out:

I should have made a video of what happened. It would make more sense. Today I merged 15 pink and 20+ gold motorcore parts that I've been saving. Not a single nitro. I merged 3 score breakers and got a score breaker. It was hilarious. 😂

that's savage and why gambling is for suckers... really dont like this element of the game... you know the dirt bags would make it real money to mess with parts if they could get away with it... ive a feeling this system was designed around that, but was halted by laws in some regions...

Gotta say this summit is a breath of fresh air after tugid boat races... currently have 1.27m and about 2100th. Really dont mind replaying this one the rimac is a fine car for finessing the corners.
 
Good summit this week hopefully this will be enough to not need to re do races and stay in platinum. 🙂
Trigger seemed to think 1.3m would be enough when someone in chat asked during his live stream, but it's hard to say just how keen people are going to be to get this car.

I started on my main account and got 1.37m, then the 2nd account I did a bit better and got 1.4m, then the 3rd account I got 1.41m, getting better at each race from the few attempts each time. After the 4th and final account, I'll have to go back and do the main again.

There's only 2 events with a meaningful choice of cars. For the one that has no waypoints where you can take huge cuts, I've done similar times with all the cars that people might have on newish accounts. Doing the Electric Odyssey playlist to get the Evija Pure Edition is an obvious step for any newish player that doesn't want to spend the credits on the full bundle, and that car is fine for the freeroam event. But I have found the Evija Pure Edition to be really bad for the event that is Touge Spirit from the Made in Japan playlist. The Terzo and also the M-B you get for completing another playlist are both fine for it, IMO there's no need to buy the Nevera.

So my advice for any newish player who is lacking in cars and credits is to do the Electric Odyssey playlist to get the Evija Pure Edition, buy just the Terzo, saving 800k vs the bundle cost, and use the Terzo for the events where there is a choice, but you can also try the Evija for the freeroam event to see if you prefer it. If you need credits, you can grind them from the Hummer Express event you'll have unlocked from the Electric Odyssey playlist, watch a video on YouTube if you don't know the best route (which includes a very important reset).

Also, you can take the odd cut through water in some events and there is some use of air NOS, so put legend points on trawler, rocket and ventilated if you have enough points to do that without losing points from the more important ones such as pure etc.
 
It doesn't look it's going to be that hard getting platinum. I think 1.2m will be enough. Why? Because of the Terzo. Currently there are 46k players registered in Summit overall which is pretty low for a Summit car. Ok, it's been only 36h. It's still low. But if you look the Terzo race you can only see 13k players. Of course it's only speculation but those numbers are still low. Even after only 36h.
