We have been around in CSR Racing 2 since the start. And one of the reasons for our success is the knowledge we’ve gained and shared with our Crew members Season after Season.
There is a basic set of knowledge that we feel everyone who picks up this game should know. And we thought we would share that with the CSR 2 Community! This counts for every type of player, totally beginner or advanced player. Please feel free to share this information for CSR Racing 2 in 2018. Constructive feedback is certainly welcome. But we just hope it helps a whole lot of racers improve their earnings and the quality of their garages!

Beginners Guide – CSR Racing 2

Obtaining Cars

• Cars purchased with cash or gold have NO STARS and LIMITED POTENTIAL
• Rare cars (with stars) have more Fusion slots and, therefore, more performance potential
• Rare cars can be won through crates, beating bosses, or as a season prize
• Each car acquired, through any means, earns 500 RP (Respect Points)
• Many racers buy cars in order to strip them for Fusion parts and a chance of S6 upgrades

General Racing in CSR Racing 2

• Releasing the accelerator at one second before launch provides a good launch for many cars
• “Perfect Shift” is seldom the best shift point in early gears; experiment
• “Perfect Shit” if often required in late gears for fastest times; experiment
• The best time to use NOS is often different from car to car
• When wheel spin has slowed or ended is often the best time to use NOS in CSR Racing 2
