What's in Limited Time (Platinum) Crates?

Anyone purchased one of these?  I'm curious what you might expect to get from one.

Now my GUESS will be as good as anyone's GUESS so I'm really looking for FACTUAL information.  🙂

Thanks.

  • Just noticed an in-game popup telling me that limited time special crates are here that will "help you prepare for the first round of Blackridge Spirit event".

    The crates will contain random street parts or street car blue prints (not necessarily Golf GTI). You can click on the special event crates to view the list of possible rewards. The possible rewards are 3 or 4 blueprints of street cars and 2 star green or 3 start blue street parts.

    Looking at the preview, they're all Street part/BPs the parts are no higher than Rare/Blue so a total waste of gold to anyone who's played it for a month or 2.

  • Actually total waste of gold for anyone. Those who do play for a while don't need this at all - it is way too simple to get the golf to 4* or even 5* needed, and since most of us have several cars with all the blueprints, it is also a piece of cake to farm there rare (blue) street parts - it took me just day and a half to get 5 out of six, which got my golf to 612, comfortably past the 593 PR required. There is no need to start sticking materials into green street parts :-)

    And for completely new players, there is no need to waste money on this anyway for these reasons:

    - they may take part the first week, but still not enough bps for LaFerrari and close to no chance during next weeks (getting mucle and classical sports cars into violet region - and that will most likely be needed, we'll see next Monday - needs some preparation, as there is no good source of parts)

    - and even if someone buys his way out through the whole event, he won't be able to use LaFerrari for months - it comes with rep level requirement for Underground use and does not have its car serie

    Saw the same pop-up this morning although mine showed 5x GTi as a (possible) reward.  I would EXPECT that only the GTi, 993, and SRT would be offered for Blackridge Spirit.

    As I have all 3 maxed now there's no value to me.  🙂

    For the amount of gold they want it's really no value no matter how long you've been playing.   🙂
