I suspect you'll be able to get them all in the full game when you can level up past 10.

I vote "hate" because of the traffic magnets. The rest is ok, but these magnets simply ruin the fun.

I say, like! ...but I also think there should be an option to make a race without the tools and traffic as well as a chance to race with ghost on. Jussi

The traffic would wreak havoc on any PBRC's.
I hate the traffic and I hate the power ups.

Did you mean power ups like nitrous, traffic magnet, run flat tires, ... or driver skills? Accumulating power ups required not using them while leveling up, and doing a lot of single races (I used Lincoln Blvd) to replenish them via random markers. Perhaps it's common to MMO games, but it seemed more like work than a game, and it gives an unfair adavantage to players who have more time "grinding" to accumulate powerups. Regarding the driver skills, if you spent driver level skills on pursuit ram (you also had to spend one on cooldown to max out the ram skill), it resulted in a "200% increase in weight", tripling the weight your car, rendering the traffic magnet feature almost useless, as the traffic cars would go flying, and your car would not get slowed down much. I don't know how many players had figured out this strategy, and/or took the time to build up a driver. I only knew of one other player that did this (aaaH). There is total of 9 skills, I ended up with 3 drivers (I created a total of 5, but deleted 2 and redid them). rcgldr - launch 4, nitrous 5 rcgldr1 - nitrous 3, ram 3, radar 3 (experiment) rcgldr2 - nitrous 2, ram 5, cooldown 1, radar 1 Although rcgldr was fastest when traffic wasn't an issue, rcgldr2 was the best for most online races because of traffic magnet factor. The launch wasn't too useful unless you gridded up front. You could use nitrous to compensate for launch, and wait until you were clear of other players before using it. The BMW would reach 173 mph before you could use all of high skills in launch and nitrous, if you used nitrous just after launch ran out. A side issue was that nitrous and launch kept getting stronger as you repeated races, eventually becoming glitched to the point it was slower, since I only had a button for throttle and couldn't modulate it to prevent the glitch. Had to exit and restart the game to compensate. I'm wondering if the released version will allow all skills to be maxed out at a high enough level, or if you'll have to figure out a strategy. Back to powerups, my favorite post race screen was this one:
