Can you finish it with Mercedes AMG-GT or should I go for McLaren 650s? @7ru3blu3 - AMG (or any other sports car) is not enough to even reach chapter 19, I got stuck with fully upgraded GTR in the hunter race in CH18 and had to wait to 910+. First car capable of reaching and beating Marcus King is F458, but then again, McLaren seems a better choice, as it can have higher total PR and is much easier to grind BPs (easy race and a very short one, compared to long blockade with F458). Spoiler (Highlight to read)And the requirement is 920.And the requirement is 920.

@ruf997tt HeretikJirka had said it all. 😉 I take out my opponents in races for these three things: 1. Rewards $500 for each takedown 2. Fun 3. To troll It can give you something to do during a race if you feel bored of the repetitive grinding in game. 😛 @HeretikJirka It isn't too risky if you know how to ram and know the good hit spots during a race. 😉 Sometimes, I even send my opponents flying into the air by my ramming. Particularly Sofie and the AIs that drive Ferrari 458 Italias. 😛 Besides, more risk = more rewards and more risk = more fun Even if it's risky, you would at least have some fun attempting to take out your opponents for $500. No Limits is a game and we can do all sorts of things that we can't even attempt to do in real life. One of the things is ramming your opponents to a pulp. XD Here's an example about risk. If there's a shortcut and a long cut in a race, which one would you pick? Obviously you would pick the short cut. Now, let's say the shortcut has a very high tendency to crash if attempting to take it while the long cut has no tendency to crash. However, successfully going through the shortcut would be a win as it shaves off precious seconds that determines the race. What would you choose then? I would choose to go through the deadly shortcut as I want to win races at all costs, even if it could cause me to drop from 2nd to 4th. @7ru3blu3 Well, I'm late as I had real life stuff to do yesterday. Click on the Spoilers to find out the PR requirement. 😛 Spoiler (Highlight to read) To take on Marcus King, you'll need a car with 920 PR. Only six cars can reach 920 PR to take on Marcus King. 1. Ferrari 458 Italia 2. McLaren 650S 3. Lamborghini Aventador 4. Pagani Huayra 5. Koenigsegg CCX 6. Lamborghini Huracan Mercedes-Benz AMG-GT is unable to reach 920 PR. You should go with McLaren 650S to take on Marcus King like I did. To take on Marcus King, you'll need a car with 920 PR. Only six cars can reach 920 PR to take on Marcus King. 1.

Congrats. Now I know who to come to for tips. 🙂

Thanks, but I know I am not the first one to achieve this... there were ppl already with 90+ rep level when I started grinding for my GTR. Last one known to beat Marcus King is @TheRealJony, who shared with us PR required to race him (afaik it is the only end-of-the-chapter race with PR requirement).

There's got to be a story behind those 3 DNF's.

Sure there is, he really likes taking out opponents, practices even during tournament races 😃

Smashing your opponent is satisfying, that is for sure, but for me it is too risky - if you don't succeed, most likely he will run off without any chance to catch him... but at least ramming them against the wall to slow them down is often an easiest way to win.

@TheRealJony what is the PR requirement for the very last race? Can you finish it with Mercedes AMG-GT or should I go for McLaren 650s?

Dude,
I thought I was wacky for doing an Excel sheet of parts, cars, and performance but now I know I am not alone. 🙂

My statistics

Playing time: October, 2015 - present
Rep Level: Level 100
Car series finished: All, except for those ones on the picture, only left the last race and not able to play Mustang GT500 because don't have the car
Cars with full blueprints: Normal cars only Ferrari Italian and McLaren left, SE cars no one is full upgrade
Cars fully maxed out: 14 plus (Hoonicorn full 5*, BMW Razor full 6*)
VIP level: Level 750 VIP
Main upgrade path: Subaru BRZ, Golf GTI, BMW Razor (6* full) and Koenisegg (not full upgrade 948PR)
Possible changes: Hope to be able to max upgrade all my SE cars, at least La Ferrari have a chance now

Some players think that full upgrade every single car is a waste of time, I'm nothing else to do playing the game, follow the tournaments and get pieces to upgrade cars, that's all, I'm lucky that this time all the requires cars from next event are max upgrade, so I will be able to get all the blueprints for La Ferrari and who now the next upcoming events have for us, so I need to have all my cars full upgrade...

Happy racing!!

Seems like a pumped up special event car cuts down your main upgrade part by one car (and a few weeks). Right now I am waiting to get Mercedes-AMG GT past 810PR mark in order to complete the McLaren chapter. Seems like I could have skipped sports cars altogether if I had Ford Shelby or BMW Razor.
