RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | Winter Festival GP - Mr EliteL - Dec 21st, 2019
Ah an update to the farming and maximising WT. Thought the single lap for Ring Rally would get changed. I've barely touched the mode though nor used it for farming. Know I could of but I didn't find it as fun to races.
Remember when WT reset at 3PM my time. Kinda preferred that to 9PM but allows me to wait for Moony. Of course don't expect us to play every evening my time. Whenever we feel like it or happen to both be online.
Ah, so you know now I won't be playing tomorrow or Sunday as I'll be away from my PS4 then, and doing a long shift too.
RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | Winter Festival GP - Moonface - Dec 21st, 2019
I could play every evening if you wanted. Doesn't matter to me.
Aww, darn. Well at least I know not to wait for you today then. XD

I'm really loving the additions this GP is bringing! The theme is super well done and implemented throughout, with all the little details in everything, down to the track flooring and exhaust chocolate trails. =3

Not shown on the roadmap is a new game mode, called Golden Wumpa Hunt:
Activision Wrote:
Chick & Stew also have new costumes, but those are obtained through winning races as those characters instead of unlocked through the conventional GP means.
Finally, you can see some of the new content in action in the trailer for the Rustland GP: Rustland GP Trailer
Megamix looks so good!
Also, it's hard to see in the trailer but there's a new mask that has a mixed appearance of the designs of Aku Aku and Uka Uka from the Titans games: https://i.redd.it/r8rg8ccfwya41.jpgSurprised how close to the start of the GP they announced this, but I'm not gonna complain.
RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | Rustland GP Details - Mr EliteL - Jan 16th, 2020
Got such a Mad Max feel to the track, does look pretty cool. Will try and play this weekend for bonus. Not bothered about the new mode, at least it's something. I assume Megamix is the only new character, which I'm fine with. Do agree he/it looks good.
RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | Rustland GP Details - Moonface - Jan 16th, 2020
Megamix is the only new character for this GP. I doubt we'll see many GP's going forward that have a lot of characters since there isn't a large number of them left at this point.
I like the new feature just for the fact it gives extra coins. Hopefully it gives a decent amount.

The Next GP is the Last One
Beenox has announced that the GP following the Rustland Grand Prix will be the final one for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. While full details of the last Grand Prix are yet to be announced (although Velo is confirmed to be the sole new character addition), here is what Beenox says players can expect for the game going forward after that GP:
- Challenge System
The challenge system that has been present for every Grand Prix that awards Nitro upon completion will be remaining in the game permanently. After the last Grand Prix is over, the challenge system will offer Daily, Weekly, and Monthly challenges that reward Wumpa Coins instead of Nitro.
- Pit Stop Refresh
Hate seeing items in the Pit Stop you don't want right now? You will be able to refresh the store selection twice per day to increase your chances of seeing something you want. Also, if you have ever missed out on any Grand Prix items, every single one will be in the Pit Stop.
- Developer Time Trials
Oxide will no longer be the king of the tracks, as Beenox will be adding time trials that are based on the best times achieved by the Beenox team. Beating every single one of their times will give you a special reward that has yet to be revealed.
- Future Content
Although the Grand Prix's will be over, there will still be new content developed for the game, including: new characters, new karts, new legendary skins, legendary skin re-colors, new decals, and new paint jobs.
Honestly, I'm happy about this. The grind was starting to become tedious and I've started getting to the point where the online doesn't appeal to me enough to play it every single week for multiple days. I'll grind this final GP for the 5% kart decal and then after that I'll just take my time getting all the Pit Stop items. If the challenge system offers a decent amount of coins, I might not even bother with online except for on weekends if I feel like it. Definitely only going to do monthly and weekly challenges on a weekend though, so that I get the 2x bonus in races while completing them.

Gasmoxia Grand Prix Details
Beenox has released the details for the last ever Grand Prix for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, the Gasmoxia Grand Prix.
![[Image: i0mgvge3owh41.jpg]](https://i.redd.it/i0mgvge3owh41.jpg)
Emperor Velo XXVI will be the sole new character addition for this Grand Prix, and with him comes a brand new batch of Time Trials to beat. Beating all of Oxide's and Velo's times will get you two new decals for the Champion Kart. The Beenox developer times will be added to the game after this Grand Prix, so now might be a good time to get some practice in before those drop!
The new track is called Drive-Thru Danger, where a fast food war between Nuclear Pizza and Toxic Burger is kicking off in the skies of Gasmoxia for CTR TV sponsorship rights! This is one of the most technical tracks in CTR history with twists, turns, and shortcuts that only the bold dare attempt.
If you haven't earned the Champion Kart yet, this may be your final time to do so by getting in the top 5% of the Champion or Nitro leaderboards. After this Grand Prix is over, there is currently no known way to obtain the kart unless Beenox intends to have it unlocked by finishing the Oxide and Velo Time Trials.
RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | GP Finale - Mr EliteL - Feb 20th, 2020
Ended up not playing in the Rustland GP. Glad items from past GPs will be available to get now. Don't know how much I'm willing to play for this one. Might play on a weekend or two. Although am interested to see what the new track will be like.
RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | GP Finale - Moonface - Feb 20th, 2020
I just tried the new track and holy shit is it hard. I don't even know how speed class is meant to keep blue fire on this track.

RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | Post-GP Content - Mr EliteL - Mar 27th, 2020
A real good bunch of stuff they've added in, and kept. Iron Checkpoint Crate.....a racer, what the--?! Best things I see are new legendary skins, colour variants for skins and new customisation for karts.
RE: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled | Post-GP Content - Moonface - Mar 28th, 2020
So the one shit thing about this update is the Wumpa Coin Challenges. Apparently the rates are 25 for a Daily, 75 for a Weekly, and 200 for a Monthly. One of this month's challenges is beat a developer time. That's not easy, and the number of attempts to beat that could be enough to spawn at least one Golden Wumpa in races which also gives 200 coins. I could do a few races to try and beat a developer time for 200 coins, or just catch a Golden Wumpa and get the same bonus.
I would have probably started playing the game a lot more often if the rates had been good, but if I need to continue grinding online races as the only way to viably afford things at a steady rate then I don't really care right now. The most I'll do is probably play to get the crate unlocked, but I was hoping the GP's would be the end of the constant grind that has been present since launch.
