You get the X1 when you’re b-spec level 35, I’m at 29. And level 24 a-spec. Only races I need to do other than the endurances is the Formula GT series in a-spec and b-spec. But I keep blowing money on different cars. ---

I was just gonna say use the race prepped 69 Camaro. I got second place on both with it. I’m about 25% into level 25 now, level 25 unlocks the endurance races. Fuck the 24 hour ones, those are retarded. I’m wondering what race Special Stage 7 track will be used on, I thought for sure it would be in Like The Wind but it wasn’t.
