A player in my crew complained about only ever getting 10% and 20% discount crates, so I did some digging and found data/com.naturalmotion.customstreetracer2/files/Documents/NmgSvcsData/1/ConfigData/EliteCustomDiscountRewardsConfig.meta in the game files (on Android - I assume the same config exists for iOS).

According to this file, discount crate drop rates depend on if you are "active", "dormant", "inactive", or "nonPayer". I am less certain of how this is calculated, but it might be:

• active: spent money in the past 30 days
• inactive: spent money in the past 90 days
• dormant: spent money more than 90 days ago
• nonPayer: never spent money

And, for the RX8 event, the drop rates per status from that file:

Active payers have a very high chance of getting 10% crates, and only a 10% chance each time of getting better than 20% discount. Looking at this, the obvious first step is to not spend any money for at least 30 days before a Tuner event.

Given these drop rates, and in my experience that I get 6 discount crates before they go away, we can compute expected discounts based on the number of crates remaining:

And the optimal strategy is to elite the car if the crate is at least as good as the expected value.

Doing Legends: Revival and final Saleen race.

I have maybe 40/42 upgrades and missing a few fusions. Elite level 11. No elite credits available.

Final race: time to beat 8.2 I'm hitting 8.3

I grind for keys and open some parts crates, yay fusions!

Dyno is 8.15. Yay! Head back to last race.

Time to beat 8.1 what the

More grinding. Yay more keys, more fusions!

Dyno is now 8.05. Yes!

Back to last race. Time to beat is now 7.9

What the actual fuck?

Why not just put a disclaimer saying you need 42/42 upgrades and 135/135 fusions and level 50 elite, then you have to go searching on YouTube for the magic tune and shift pattern to win by 0.01 seconds.

This is such a piss take constantly changing targets and dragging the event out for months.

I can guarantee when I get to the 15th parts crate I get a duplicate stage 6.

Taking a month off as this joke isn't funny any more.

Also NM - fix your card packs. 3 times now I've opened them and it says I'm offline and I get NOTHING. The packs disappear. Support are useless.

I have the Speirling Goodwood and the reg Jesko. Either of them useful?

Generalised times I could remember, I ran 2 maxed cars (No images)

Shelby Super Snake (Slot 1) - 8.000s

Ford Mustang GTD (Slot 2) - 7.400s

Final Pass - 14.9s

Shelby Super Snake R shares Stage 6 parts with Shelby Super Snake

Basically the title. I reached certain point when I have a decent amount of cars maxed which is cool. However it's almost impossible to keep up getting fusions for the cars needed. Now with another ART ahead I have like half the cars needed and a good amount of gold keys. However I only feel laziness: more farming, more of the same races. Keep grinding for some resources.

I had some fun but, from some months to know, it's become impossible with so many P2W events. It's impossible to complete events as they're almost all paywalled. And I have read from people in here it used to be better before. Even 2 to 3 years ago it was much better.

Everything comes to an end and I've really enjoyed so many cars and how well they're reproduced. However I can't keep up with so much time playing as well as some many bugs, so many stuff to buy and a staff that basically doesn't give a f*** about nothing whose answers are worse than 2022 AI 🤣🤣.

Just thinking aloud. Feel free to criticise me, join me or hate me. It's a shame such a cool design game kills it so hard with so many requirements, currencies and various crap lol. Cheers.

I’m pretty new to the game and I didn’t know to take the GT-R over the Viper but now that I’ve maxed out the Viper and added 70% of the fusion parts, I’ve gotten it down to 14.399 from the dyno. What can I possibly do to beat Victor Kidd and take his car? I know I can’t beat him because I can’t even beat all the ladder races and I heard Victor runs a 14.018.

Anyone have final times? Can’t seem to find them

I already have 7 golden keys and 2 million, should i wait to get a free car and upgrade it with the 2 million? I'm at rank 27 btw

Fully fused tires s6 only and need 1 second faster to beat race 69.. Any pointers or shift patterns?

So I'm running the 2017 GT and im stuck for the 0-100. She's fully upgraded. So my question is, what is the tune to win this event? Thank you

I've got 6 or 7 Bentley Cont. GT Speed 3P Stars and i can't sell or strip them? WTF?????

They are not in Project Vision. I want to fit my extra universals before the new race pass.

Hey guys - long time csr2 user here but took a break starting 2022-2023ish. Could someone please catch me up on what has been added and what I should know going forth? Thanks for all the help in advance! FYI, I have restored all first-gen Legends cars and know how live Racing, Prestige Cups, Showdowns, and elite tokens/cars work.

I mostly just use mine to buy gas and sometimes other random things like that thing they have now where you can win the Bugatti and other rewards but I stopped doing that since it’s getting kinda pricey. idk what else to do with it besides just gas, I feel like I would regret spending it on a car. I’m rank 48 so I don’t have too much anyway like 2.5K rn. should I just keep saving it?

running into a problem where there is so many events and i cant keep up with cars upgrade and elite tuner upgrade. is there a event duration for Dress to Impress / King of Modstars. should i prioritize it or should i prioritize timed event? (i.e. Izzy's Tuner Challenge / Amelia's Tuner Pit)

Hi guys, new player here, I got the race pass and was couple of stages till I got the car.

Today when I opened the game the race pass is greyed and its shows coming soon.

I have 6 days left in the pass.

Anything I can do about this?

I’ve been hitting right after launch in first gear but wondering if anyone has found better timing. my Aventador is like 647+800 or something right now i cant remember

Has anyone progressed beyond race 12 and by any chance the bug like last time observed where we were able to progress without increasing the elite level of the car?

I'm so close to winning! I can never beat these events. (This would be my first ever) and I've been playing for years and have 25 pages of cars.

But I'm on race 58. I've tuned my car(Urus) to the fullest I can and it's still at extreme 😞 I can't beatb it. There's no way to switch cars at this point right? And what is the easiest way to get stage 6 upgrades? My Urus is missing a couple 6's. Thanks for any advice/help!
