How about a 'test arena', where we can choose the envoirements, tracks, etc....to test our cars performance somewhere else then losing points in events. Using this, you should know your perfect hand before entering the battle...

Could you re-introduce the feature where you complete a whole set of manufacturer cars you get a car as a reward? This game was CCCG, which would stand for "Car Card Collection Game" I would imagine, and what is the point of collecting cars if there's no reward for collecting cars at all? I was thinking to add a brand-new, never before seen car into the game for all manufacturers, and once you have collected all cars (excluding prize cars because that's too hard) and that car would be awarded to your garage! I know someone that collects Mazdas ever since that update dropped, and he was really sad to miss out on the 787B... I would love to see people like him with the dedication of collecting cars gets rewarded!

Could you add a way for us to reduce trophy count? Right now I'm at 18k and battling people with over 50k trophies, this makes it pretty much impossible to win any event unless I late join (which is obviously not fun). If I could battle against people of similar garage strengths then that would be way more fun for everyone.

But then the people at 18k could also reduce their count so they'd still battle you... I do agree the matchmaking could be improved, but I think we're just too used to winning; in finals only 8 people out of 500 win the prize cars, even if you were matched perfectly that's only a 1.6% chance of winning, which is tiny - you'd have better odds correctly guessing what someone drew from a deck of playing cards ):

That PorscheGuy In fact, they have a system to prevent this. If you exceed a certain number of trophies, it is not possible to drop below it, no matter how many times you have a tier 5 finish. I would be interested to know where all these thresholds lie so I could stay below the next one!

They said it on previous episodes: they won't because the difference of values is not accurate in the game. (the reality is that they are lazy and don't want to do that, because it's actually very easy and many other racing game have this feature)
Will B class cars as the final prize will ever come back in the weekly challenge? Still want a R33 skyline...
How many people works on top drives ?
I heard that you guys are considering increasing the RQ range at some point, what are you thinking of doing? I think having an RQ range of 5 for each rarity would be interesting. (Also, RIP to whoever has to go through all 1400 cars)
Hello, can we get "add to garage and lock" button? It's annoying to find and lock every useful car manually. Thanks
Will the low rq events come back? I know there are some in clubs but it's not the same thing as the real 2 day events. I miss those formula fun events and stuff like 3rq only cars, getting them back would mean giving lesser cars a good use
Hello there. Is it possible for showing up when it comes to a draw between two car the reasons why it's a draw
At 7:02 Jon had a great suggestion for an infographic on the arc concept. Does he win a a Carbon Fibre pack for that suggestion?

To add to the Campaign, as a lot of us have already finished it, can you put it in a small space? Like switching with challenge ? I don't use the biggest tab... Not a good UX (Just a reminder that i can't play it anymore)
What is the process at hutch for coming up with new events or challenges and implementing them into the game?
Could we have many offers in the premiums ceramics, ? Example the wet specialist ceramic. Making bids with cash
Would it be possible to add a 3 criteria/ filter for the events? Most of the events are one or two, and adding more will be challenging and add more strategy to the game. Example: for and event your would need 2 UK cars, 2 German car, and 1 American car.

Is it possible for challenges to give prize cars like once in a month 🤔🤔
Would it be possible to add an indicator in the car "Holding Area", that would let you know if you do not already have this car in your garage? I've got several hundred cars now, and it's getting to be impossible to remember every car that I have in my garage.
Can we have a way to sort cars by number of upgrades applied? For example 8-15 upgrades still show 1 star, would help quickly filter through partially upgraded cars that are planned to be upgraded and differentiate between 1.3/1.3/1.3 cars
Can we get a sound update where cars with their engine category will sound like that. Like an L4 engine sounds like an L4 a V10 sounds like a V10 and V12 sounds like a V12 ect.
Can we get the new tracks like Nurburgring in future? For Example Brands Hatch or Hockenheimring? This will be really cool!
Can you please extend the short rally road map at the the end so the cars don't just drive of into the void? My perfectionist brain is furious about that
What do you say about renting cars for races or day. You can rent car for gold: -common 5 gold per day and 1 gold per race -uncommon 10 gold per day and 2 gold per race -rare 25 gold per day and 5 gold per race -super rare 50 gold per day and 10 gold per race -ultra rare 75 gold per day and 20 gold per race -epic 100 gold per day and 50 gold per race -legendary 200 gold per day 100 gold per race You can upgrade it but you get half amount of cash when times up. You can't rent cars for challange like prelims, qualifiers and finals. You can't rent prize cars. I think something like that will be interesting.
How about 2nd chance on P1, Zonda and 787b, those cars are key elements to a strong garage.
Could there be a way to see what an upgrade would do to a car? There are a lot of times where I don't know how to finalize a car and if I could see what each upgrade would fully do I could decide better.
Could you tell us when (more or less) the next day update is supposed to come out? And what it will be about? Many actual cars need some stats/rq changes so it would be good to know a bit in advance which car will be changed. Thx for the last episode, I really liked it.
Will there be any greater clarification on win reasons such as mid range and better off line acceleration etc..? For example, cars having low mass beating cars with worse handling.
Hi... a good idea you could add to the game is to receive a Carbon fiber pack on your birthday!! Its my birthday by the way!! Love the game!
Hi, I think it would be a good idea to have a sort of "chat room" while you are competing, so you can interact with the people you are racing against. Very happy with the game, continue the good work!
What I would like is once a month (or every 2 months), the prize for a challenge would be like a ‘Premium Prize Pack’ where a player would win a random prize car from a pack, including any higher tier prize cars that have already been given out (as per normal Premium/Ceramic pack drop rules). I like getting prize cars but I don’t like it when everyone wins the SAME car (it ends up feeling a little devalued - like with the latest 935 prize) so to get a random prize car (especially a chance to win an already given out car) would be fantastic.

It would be nice if we could see our statistics. How many packs we opened, number of different class cars from each type of pack, how many different tier finishes we have.
Why BMWs where added as Legendaries and Audis were kept as Epics if they are in the same situation each other?
Is it possible to add a filter to the big events which specifies that using the same car more than once in the same event is prohibited? I remember an event where players used 4 Mazda Furais or 3 Renault DeZirs...
In the near future, have you got any ideas for sound changes for watching the cars in a race. For example, no sound for electric cars or different sounds for "race cars"
Can we have leaks on new updates like what Turn 10/Playground Games do for Forza Horizon 4? All it has to be is some photo of something which not only builds hype within the community but can attract new players. Still a great game, regardless of if I lost my account or not.
an idea for one price car event.normal event,but the price is a self selected car only restriction the car it must have been there before
Would it be possible to add a way to filter the locked/unlocked cars in your collection? It’s especially helpful sometimes to see only your unlocked cars when deciding what needs locked or what to use on your next upgrade.
Here's a question : Would you do a practice match feature, where you could put your car and see if it can beat certain cars, its like you pick your opponent's car and it's upgrades, or fight cars in their garage to help people sell or keep or in events.
When you upgrade a car and it takes a 1hour for example and is 100 gold to skip, when it's like 30 minutes till its done upgrading could you make it 50 gold maybe?
I think that u need to find a new way of putting players with other players,and that shouldn't be trophy count,so i recommend some ways to do it 1. Myb per prize cars how many have won the player. 2. U should add achivements so every time when u complete it U get more points so u advance. 3. Make leauges like all other games so when u compete if u want to get prize cars u need to be in top 3 leauges.
Hi team, it’s always interesting to hear your answers to players’ questions, so thanks for the new format show. The other day, a Clubs season ended with all three Clubs having the same number of sectors. But instead of a tie, first, second and third place prizes were awarded. How did this come about? Cheers!
when looking at some cards like fords their number plates are say 14 plate and the card at the top says its a 2016 car, is there a reason for this ? thx hutch.
make a tag of your favourite car like Tim's favourite car or Josie's favourite car and Jon's favourite car.
So there was the german reneissance update where there came more bmw and volkswagens and porsche and all that. What about the other german cars like audi and mini and mercedes? Is there at some point gonna be more of them too?
Will a "shop" ever come to the game? I mean, maybe not where you can buy leggendaries, but maybe rare/uncommon cars in a shop, that would be super cool and useful!

That otaku Guy Being a hot hatch fan, I’m trying to collect all the performance tyre hatchbacks in the game. I can live with the Super Rare and above being elusive and harder to come by, but in the Common-Rare range, I’m only missing one car and it frustrates me. That car is the 13RQ 1997 Volkswagen Golf GTI (red).
Awesome game! I have been noticing more Draws between two different cars, both with and without similar stats. I know the game runs at 3 frames per second (fps), are there any plans to increase game performance, by increasing fps to 5 or 10? This would therefore decrease the amount of Draws due to margins going down from 0.3 to 0.2 or 0.1. Thanks.
Can we get the featur to filter cars based in if they are locked or unlocked
Hey , did you cant to add a seting to change te mph in km/h
Would love a season two in the campaign?????
It would be nice if the Weekly challenges were a bit harder and also more of a variety of prizes every week like a carbon fibre every month or gold as well as cash in the stages
Can we have a list with friends in topdrives in order to be able to look at their garage and see which cars they have or is it possible to have something like clans with friends?
Can we have a setting where we can slow down time to normal speed?
Can we get more accurate results when searching for a specific post in KTplay? Love the show and the game, keep up the great work!
Would you consider adding wind as a meta for Top Drives races? Tail wind helps taller cars, head wind doesn't etc.
Do you think you could implement some kind of offline test mode? Where you can take any car and test it against any other car, maybe with or without upgrades. And I'd understand there would need to be limitations so people arent just metagaming what cars can win against what cars but, limiting it to perhaps certain cars just to kind of understand game mechanics or even what kind of cars excel at what races in what conditions. Or even just a more limited version just to see how your cars will do on different tracks and different conditions and just seeing what your car's time will be, and not having to test it in a win-loss scenario.
Is there a possibility to make a trading system where you can trade same level and Rq cars or have little lesser ones but pay in cash as much as the class says and 35%more Example a guy wants to trade ktm xbow RR with 290k cash for a gt 90 But they have to pay 35% more cash if they want to get that card
Is it possible you could share an overview of what prize cars have been winnable and given out and when they were given out. Would be cool to have an overview to look at. Because sometimes i wonder if a prize car allready has been given out or not.
Could you please make the "Stars" on Common Cars any colour other then Grey? It's difficult to see them on most backgrounds

We will return to see similar events like "formula fun"? Type d, e and f cars are not much used anymore. Before there was much more tactics to create a good hand..
Do you have plans to implement every car manufacturer you can? I personally would love Lamborghini and Ferrari.
@Hutch and anyone watching! The current challenge requires 5xLotus and the name of the challenge is "Turbo Challenge". This is an obvious homage to one of my favourite Amiga games from my childhood "Amiga Turbo Challenge" !!!
Would you ever implement a system where you can trade 2 cars to get a better one e.g. trading 2 specific rares would land you a certain super rare and it would change on a weekly basis. This would mean collecting cars you may not use a lot would get a purpose.
Hey Guys I know you try and deal with balancing, can I ask that you look at the G63 6x6. In my opinion this should be one of the best hill climbing in dirt rain conditions. But yet it's awful. Can I also make a segetion make a mode (round by round) where you select like 10 cars that you think you can complete a challenge with, and every time you loss with a car it's out for the next round and say you have 20 rounds to complete.
Hi. It would be nice to be able to access a data base with all the players where you can friend and/or unfriend other players, and also check they inventory or top 10 most use cars. And also a leaderboard etc. I think it will increase the competition. Thank you.
the weekly routine question: please let us know what the 'small things' you promised to do 'behind the scenes' to balance clubs are. as a member of Full Throttle I wonder what they are, because I feel like they aren't too effective and if they ever kick in I guess the other clubs will want to know what you did. Also: Is the position at the bottom really winning the most or is that just a subjective impression? or is that on purpose and part of the 'small things'?
Hey guys, amazing game! But... Can we prevent the late joining? I got lucky a couple times, but doesn't feel fair for who race 100+ times and gets worst rewards. Why don't prevent it by limiting the access to any event in the last 3 hours? So you also race 10 times (5+5) or buy tickets.
When is going to be the next update? Could it be at least the corrections any time soon?
Can you implement a switch beetwen mph and kmh, europeans need it
Have drop rates decreased? Not sure if it’s just me but mine have been horrendous
Will there be any sneak peeks of the New update, it’s been a long time since the last one! (I hope Toyota will get added)
their is a problem with the new update!!! everytime i go into a 1v1 and try to (let) drive my game freezes 😤 and shuts down
Hi i know you all most likely get ask this question a lot but will you all ever add some of the bigger named brands like Koenigsegg, Lamborghini and or Ferrari PS. hennessy would be a cool brand too add
Could you add more Audi cars in a future update?? I would love to see that❤️❤️
Why is there limit of 2 tags per car and why many cars dont have tag they deserve like golf GTI dont have hot hatch tag.
Have you ever considered making 2 or more weekly challenges at a time with lower rewards?
Can we PLEASE have an indicator for cars in the holding pool that we don't already own. There's some of us garage collectors that find it extremely tedious to find out if we own a car or not. Especially when having garages of over 1k cars in our garage
can we get a weekend challenge as fillerif theres no austins or sth.? i dont have much time under week so i need to hurry up every evening to fast complete 5lvls. but on weekend theres more time...
What are you planning for future content?We got many new cars in this update, however,even though the update was about german cars,there are so many audis missing.I believe that licencing won't be that hard since Volkswagen owns Audi
Could we get some sort of sandbox mode where we can choose maps, card etc.

On completing events the event closes and we get a final position. Is it possible to get a league table I think it would be interesting to see where the people who we have been racing for the last 3 days finished too, who got the prize car and who was edged out at the last minute Thanks
Why doesn't the game change the ride height when handling is changed? Normally, the centre of gravity needs to be lower in order for the car to turn with less roll so people lower their cars and strengthen the suspension to achieve this. This should change the ride height as you go higher on the tune. I suggest that maybe drop in ride height as you hit into the 3rd level of tune by one (high>med, med>low etc).
As good as the cash rewards are, can you go back to awarding cars for the weekly challenge? It’d feel a lot better and a better incentive to complete the challenge rather than just having a ceramic
Would it be possible to add a little ‘i’ onto packs so that we could see the odds rather than having to flick to the FAQ? It would be especially useful for the newer more eclectic packs.
Will we get Toyota and Lexus anytime soon?
What about adding some famous modded cars to the game? I feel like for example a Skyline or RX-7 is undervalued in the game, cause RQ based they are on a bad place. In reality they dominated a lot of races, which could give the whole Japanese scene a better place.
How do you get the carbon fibre?
When will yall add Lamborghini and Ferrari
Hey can you make special packs that give you RQ points?
So, if Toyota doesn't want to license their cars in illegal street racing games, do you consider that Top Drives is an illegal street racing game or endorse this activity? If not, why we don't have Toyota yet?
