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.
