I was frequently racing people from that team which were very evidently botting.
Now that I'm on break, I have time to grind this season out :)
A lot of the cars in NT are also red, far more than any other color. Even cars that aren't red (a lot of the grey/black ones), the default color for the paintable portion is red. The only color rivaling red for most number of cars in my opinion (based on the cars I have) is blue and only because of how many different shades of blue count as 'blue'.
It's honestly so silly that all the prices get reduced so heavily... almost everyone has more cash than they know what to do with it, why not reduce the inflation by having expensive cars?!
Yes, I think it would be good if they released bundles which you could pay NT cash for, especially because most people have a lot of extra cash even after buying everything released in the shop.
Not unless I can pay NT cash for it :)
You can only make one new post every two days. Please consider this your verbal warning.
Trading cars would be such a nice feature though... I remember thinking about it a while back and how cool it would be to get cars that I wasn't able to achieve during events. Of course, now the shop effectively serves as a place to get all those old cars so I guess it's not needed that much anymore.
I lived on the news.
Vielle's just unhappy because people don't like the cars he suggested.
(I would be too)
I can't say that I'm unhappy with longer seasons since I wait until the last few hours of the season to grind all my races in :)
(and a longer season means less times in a year I need to grind)
Honestly it's strange that they make the news post images really high quality and enticing, and then the season's cars have absolutely nothing to do with the cool cars shown there.
Such a huge amount of old cars that allowed older players to differentiate themselves are rereleased, and that's something I really don't like. I missed a lot of great cars from the first five years of NT but that's fine, they don't need to go around just giving everything away for absurdly low prices now.
In general we try to steer away from discussions about teams supposedly botting because many get created and it ends up being somewhat spammy. Though I do understand where you're coming from given the notable large amount of races, ideally we should try to avoid such posts in the future unless it pertains specifically to something significant regarding the community / official NT information.
I said 1-3 months because while I have completed every season (I think) there was a lot of time until the last few days of the season where I just didn't race.
Advertising cash comps is not allowed in discussions posts. If you do this again you will be blocked from making discussions.

If people are still racing this long later I think the number of racers that have above ~20k race racers brings up the average even when taking into account the amount of casual <1k race racers, so I guess 5000-10000.
With hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of racers, and the majority having less than 1k races, the 1-1000 option is easy.
It would be interesting to see if it's between 1-10, 10-50, 50-100, 100-250, 250-1000, and that's something I have no idea how to get (though if you *really* wanted you could make a bot that spams NT's api over the course of like a day getting every racer's race count).
Personally, I think NT would benefit heavily from making cars more exclusive (as in, not rereleasing cars as much) because otherwise the game gets stale after some time, and let's face it, there's no way for older players to show off.
But an update that I think would benefit everyone, both old and new, would be adding customizable themes. They already made these but never released them. A v2 theme (theme that basically reverts the website to v2 but has all the features that it does now) would also be a really nice throwback.
I agree with Vielle,
NT's desire to prevent people from tryharding the game by removing the public leaderboards and therefore make the game less competitive caused many players to either stop playing, or had absolutely no effect on their activity. It just made it less cool.
