Rules on unlocking cars

The last car is unlocked after reaching 21st rank

At the beginning of Rival career you have access only to one car - Porsche Cayman S. Next vehicles are unlocked when you advance to the higher rank, until you get to the 21st rank. In order to advance to higher rank you have to complete all objectives from the selected speedlist and this is parallel to your career progress.

Important information is that achieving higher rank guarantees only possibility of buying a particular car, because it is not automatically moved to your garage. That means that you have to spend your speedpoints in order to purchase it.

The only exception on car list is Maserati GT MC Stradale, which is accessible only by using online feature OverWatch.

Upgrading cars

Visual upgrades have no impact on your car's parameters

There are two basic categories when modifying cars in Racer career. First category contains modifications connected to personalizing its appearance (Car Personalization option). These changes have no impact on parameters of the given car, allowing you to change color of the body, purchase different stickers or change of car plate.

Invest in these modifications which correspond to the intended use of the car

Another category is more important, because it contains mechanical modifications (Performance Upgrades), which are divided into 5 groups:

• Durability
• Strength
• Control
• Acceleration
• Top Speed

Each group can be upgraded up to the 5th level, but as I mentioned this previously, it is not advisable to do this in the beginning phase of your career, when you do not have many speedpoints. I recommend to buy upgrades from 1st or 2nd level max, selecting only these groups which are related to the planned usage of the car. For example if you intend to use the given car in time trials, you should upgrade its acceleration and top speed. And if you want to participate in hot pursuits, it should be worth to modify car's durability.
