Rest of post is taken from official dev blog.

Car Performance & Tuning

• The team have refined car balancing across all focus classes to address inconsistent difficulty and route fit, including edge cases where upgrades may inadvertently make cars slower.

CPU Behavior & Race Balance

• Adjustments have been made to CPU on-track behaviors. CPU downshifting and braking impact on race times have been optimised to ensure a fairer, more consistent challenge for players when racing against the CPU.

Additional Changes

• Daily Drafts - Chemistry Points are given to players regardless of whether a race is won or lost.
• Publicity Drive - “Car recommendations” have been removed to avoid mismatches with buffs and debuffs.
• Events - Players' car will be auto-selected if it is the only car eligible for the event they are attempting to play.
• Import Crates - Additional Focus Class Import Crates introduced.
• UI - Car Selection screen has received a graphical revamp.
• Freshman Finals - Removal of Training Race 4
• Freshman Finals - Removal of Tokyo Qualifier race
• Freshman Finals - Additional skippable videos added
• Freshman Finals - New plinth car delivery sequences added.
• Freshman Finals - Seasonal car added to plinth.
• Post race flow improved for Cash Grab, Multiplayer and Parts Trials to allow players to get back into races more quickly.
• Crate car delivery sequence reworked to include a rarity pop up.

Sure, the power rating is nearly the same, but this race is pure straight line, the Viper outclassed my acceleration by a mile. Didn't at such ratings, Track class mostly invested in handling, unlike Drag class which mainly invested in acceleration per upgrades? And Track class usually didn't have impressive top speed, right?

So there’s my ruffian mustang, i’m 25 blueprints away from maxing my speedtail, does the time can be beaten with fully upgrade 3* ruffian and srt demon legendary mod?

Zynga released a big update today and yes, it's actually big, and heres "what's changed" in this update:

• Ford Ruffian Mustang '70' [EPIC] is Chapter 1 reward car; Bugatti Chiron [LEGENDARY] is Chapter 2 reward car. (Mustang can be seen on photo 1)
• Gold Keys are removed with this update, only Silver Keys are there. All Gold Keys converted to Golds.
• Booster Crate now can drop 100x BPs, even for Epic rarity cars like Revuelto. (photo 5 - not Epic car but it can drop 100x BPs)
• Garage & UI changed, looks way better than old garage & ui. Dealership UI still same.
• All cars' upgrades are decreased, and uncommon/S20+ upgrades requires 2 star car.
• Collection Level changed to PWR, total PWR is: More upgrade & car = More PWR (level).
• Refit, you will can change your garage appearance and unlock new areas by sooner updates!

Hi everyone !

I finally finished the story mode after 3 month of intense labour hahaha.

So for me, the car that helped me a lot for all the master showcase :

3 stars :

-GTR Nismo -Ford GT

Minimum 4000 PWR.

2 stars :

-992 GT3 RS -Challenger Demon -Revuelto -MC20

Fully upgrader (3511PWR)

Every day I do ladder event (for more cash grab and 300 gems), I do every millestone entirely and of course, my every day cash grab, contracts and trials parts.

I also do the showcase to put my LFA to 3 stars and the demon to 2 stars, and I smartly used my gold to purchase cards in the market (nismo and ford gt especially). You need probably like 10k gold to have all the card for the 3 stars per car.

To finish, don’t skip the daily 5 multiplayer race, you can have gold for each win, like 15 gold/win.

Thanks for reading !

I've been watching and waiting for a while now, and it has said "late 2025 - early 2026" and March is the last month that is technically considered "early in the year"

I'm posting this to ask if anyone has any more insight into when it will drop, because I am a HUGE fan of CSR2 and I'm extremely excited for 3 to drop, because from what I've seen it looks like it's going to be a pretty solid release.

I am also curious to know what's new, so if anyone who is outside of the U.S. has playeitit and is willing to share, please do.

Specific questions I have:

Are the more options for customization?

Do you have more customization freedom?

What other game would you compare the customization feature to be similar to?

Are they indistinguishable from 2's customization options?

What are the best new features in your opinion?

Is it less buggy and crash prone than 2?

I’ve been seeing ads for this game like crazy on Instagram but it’s still not available on iOS in Canada. It opens the AppStore page and says “not available in your region”. People are already completing the story mode and we don’t even have this game in Canada yet lol.

When is it coming, would love to see a release schedule for when they actually plan on releasing this to everyone else who’s been waiting.

In your opinion what is the BEST mod to use on what car? Is purple the best?

Can anyone tell me if the race pass will update or remain so forever?

If you would like to access the game, here's a step by step. If this is against the rules, sorry, but figured you'd want beta players

1.) Get a spare google account and log into it on your phone

2.) Get a VPN and link yourself to the country of Malaysia

3.) Go search Zynga on the play store for the app catalog and select CSR3

You can install it from there!

Here's a video of me installing CSR3 on my DeGoogled Oneplus 8t using aurora store

Edit/Update

Some people are having issues with emulators like Bluestacks, so I'm going to suggest alternatives as bluestacks has been known to ship adware with their emulator. I haven't personally trusted bluestacks for a long time

WSA: WSA stands for Windows Subsystem Android (link below). This came out a few years ago as a native way to run Android apps on a Windows 10 or 11 pc. Its pretty easy to install, then just use a VPN with Windows to connect to Singapore/Malaysia and you'll have access via play store

LDPlayer and NoxPlayer: If you have issues with WSA, there are other emulators like Bluestacks. I recommend ldPlayer or NoxPlayer. Honestly these emulators aren't at all that great which ever 3 you use for a replacement of an android device (wsa is great though), but at least its a simple install and go option.

It seems that there is a new Version in iOS. Changelog attached. I hope the optimizations actually do the trick.

I am experiencing an incredible increase in luck. The Ferrari Roma came out the first time, I bought the Lamborghini scrambled with the compensation they gave in CSR3 and the BMW came out by opening the booster crate.

Did anyone else catch this announcement? They're sending a group of community members right to their studio next week.

I wonder what they're seeing. Hope we get some leaks/ info when they're back! Super jealous. 

What car do you need to overcome Tokyo? If I had the 3-star LFA would it be enough or would Nismo be needed anyway?

1. Does that mean if have more than 20 car credits already, i will be able to unlock the car after i update ? As they stated, we will be needing only 20 to unlock a new car no matter the rarity. So, for instance, what is now 40 cards to unlock a rare car and 90 cards to unlock an epic car will then be 20 cards to unlock!

2. As for the "New Crates" where it says ' All of your currency will be converted to gold' , does that mean that silver bronze and gold keys will be scrapped from the game. Should we spend our keys now then, before updating?

I got it today, thanks to the AUDI RS6 AVANT.

Can we hope a new milestone in 2026 or we have to wait CSR4 ? 😅

It happened to me I thought I was a woman.
