I can see the race skips item in the black market and I have a few questions: Which races can I skip with this feature feature? For example, can I use it to skip tuner trial races? Can I "earn" race skips instead of buying them? For example, can I get them from mystery crates? Most importantly, how does it affect the daily assignments and missions? Does using race skip consume fuel and increase the totals for "use 20 fuel" assignment and "super tanker" mission? Does using race skip count as a "win" and increase "win 12 races" assignment and "trophy room" mission? Finally, what is the best use of race skips in your opinion?

Well, most of your questions are already answered or you can find out yourself, but anyway, from what I've experimented: 1) Seems you can "skip" any repeated race in the Underground, that is any race where you can use easydrive, no matter how difficult it is (at least I got no problem skipping Marcus Kings last race in CH19). No race skipping in special events or tuner trials. 2) You can get 5 skips a day from daily assignment (finish any 10 races) and you can buy 10 skips for 30 gold - making it 15 skips per day without using any money. Or buy a fuel tank for the same 30 gold and getting full gas tank and 3 race skips instead. You get 5 race skips with VIP4, 6 race skips a day with VIP7 and above, and 7 race skips a day with VIP level 10. 3) Skipped race uses fuel and gives you a prize selection dialog, but does not give you any cash for racing the event. Also saves you all the hassle of loading a race. Thus if you have time, it is better to enter a race normally and use autodrive. If I won't find any other differences, my view is skipping is good for: - situations where you have very little time and want to use your fuel and get mystery prizes - for low rewarding events - for tougher events, which do require more actions during the race (not just easydrive, but also hitting a nitro a few times, for example)

Race Skips - How does it work

I can see the race skips item in the black market and I have a few questions:

Which races can I skip with this feature feature? For example, can I use it to skip tuner trial races?
Can I "earn" race skips instead of buying them? For example, can I get them from mystery crates?
Most importantly, how does it affect the daily assignments and missions?
1. Does using race skip consume fuel and increase the totals for "use 20 fuel" assignment and "super tanker" mission?
2. Does using race skip count as a "win" and increase "win 12 races" assignment and "trophy room" mission?
Finally, what is the best use of race skips in your opinion?

Regarding bullet #2 (above) I think there is an answer... I won 10 races and completed a new daily assignment called "win any 10 races" and got 5 race skip points. I am not sure how this is different from "win 12 races" and this begs another question!

Yes this is how I got mine as well. But I don't see any other ways of obtaining it at this point. And frankly, I don't really find the use for it given that I've already beaten the final boss and special events these days are way too easy.

I did not get any Skip points for completing the daily assignments. As seen on the help, Race Skips can be obtained from

BLACK MARKET

REFILL FUEL

REACH VIP LEVEL 7

Perhaps you guys are VIP level 7 or above. Also, currently I find this feature useless. After introducing 6-7 units of currency/points, NFS NL has added another one 😞

I have experienced the same with skip races and I think most of the questions are already solved

Apart from this new feature I have noticed that farm BPs is a lot easier since yesterday when day 2 of Ford GT SE started, maybe just coincidence or luck but I collected 4 BPs in a row beetween Ferrari Italia 2, Pagani 1 and CCX 1, that never happened to me before

In other races where there were VPs and no BPs, I've always got the materials and no VPs, thats too good to be just luck. I've already use 2 full tanks today and got no VP at all in underground

@NFS_Sandro Speaking from my personal experience, I'm definitely sure it's just luck. I'm still getting LOADS of VPs after the most recent minor update.

Seems to be a really good luck rush, a some hours later I started to have regular luck with VPs and BPs

Personally I think they have added some great touches to the game of late but this 'race skip' is already covered by the 'EASYDRIVE' AI option in my humble opinion even IF you are extremely unlucky and the AI crashes your car. At first when I saw it I thought 'Great, more achievements to get to my 12 a day (Cos I know it's says 9 achievements but I won't cash in for the gold until I got 12 including my 50 gold a day I buy monthly) but then I realised you get no gold for it only more 'Race Skips' but alas it still counts as one achievement but you get 5 'Race Skips', that being the case if you use one of the 'Skips' does it then not count?

Anyway also further down I noticed another which was better really because you DO get 4 gold for it, it's called 'Win any 10 Races' which is cool and you also get 5 'Race Skips' instead of the X amount of REP which I have maxed out at 100REP months ago. So yeh that's good because now I'm earning near 100 gold a day, can't complain....but it's a strange ideology, I have not used any and don't really intend to, I would rather race the bloody race! So yeh I got loads of them now too, well about 20 I think.

Still they are not even on the same planet let alone class in the annoying base to the 'VISUAL POINTS'. LoL

It would also be GREAT if these 'Race Skips' did NOT take your bloody fuel!!!! LoL 😬😃

Regards Gabe

*EDIT*

Hey I thought of a situation where these 'Race Skips' could be useful and that's when ya wake up in middle of night and turn over, go for a piddle or check ya phone to see what time it is, well then you could just skip ya whole full tank in 1 minute then go back to sleep to wake up to another full tank!

I completed underground two months ago and I have maxed out all cars. "Win 5 races in the underground" is one of the last daily assignment I complete, and I do not bother most of the time. Now I use race skips to complete them in under a minute and use 10 fuel in the process. I find this feature somewhat useful. Plus 4 extra gold for "win any 10 races" is... gold.

Its just another pointless currency to go alongside the visual points and tournament points.
