I need upgrade kits to finish my last race and realize that no upgrade kits came along during previously won races, which is usually the norm.
Think they are being deliberate about spending gold to win.
I wrote in to support about this considering this may be a bug.
Have been playing for over an year and in no mood to give in to this tactics, hence waiting for support to respond, which I doubt will happen before the series ends.
If not a bug, It wont be fun playing these events any more, since once cant be sure of them being fair.
Time to apply breaks on my stint with this game.
@Red_Hood_1810 and @Capt_Haddock_77 - here is a tip for you:
During the special event, right from day one, (and once you have enough money) start watching for the upgrade kits in the SE Store.
The store refreshes every hour. As soon as you see an upgrade kit sold for $ (NOT gold!), buy it and keep it in your garage. Only buy each kit once. Because you are likely to win more required kits as you progress in the SE.
By buying the kits for $ during the event you will save your gold and you are guaranteed to have a kit when you need it. And worst case scenario, if you are left with a spare kit at the end of the SE you'll get game $ for it.
I have been doing this for a while and it works well for me. Sometimes there are no kits for $ for 2 days straight (i.e. only sold for gold), but eventually they do appear in the shop for cash (usually $12500).
Try it....
