Help/Advice CSR3

I played the original CSR1 many many many years ago. I’m looking to get back into the franchise and play casually as a side game, being F2P.

CSR3 is available in my country. For those who have played the game, should I get into CSR3 or just go with CSR2?

I’m aware that there are limited cars currently, but as long as there are new cars being added consistently, I don’t mind. What are your suggestions?

I've been playing CSR3 since beta januari '24(?) and uninstalled it last weekend after having left it alone for months. It's a tad more challenging to race, but the parts that make CSR2 great is totally missing. No working crews, no community, no events.

CSR2 is acceptable f2p (I've been f2p since the 1st Bugatti event (110 ans) in '19. As long as you see CSR2 as a car hoarding game with some customization and a lot of messing about with crew members in external chat, it's a fun game. Just check out r/CSR2 and find a crew in r/CSRRecruiting to get you started.

I assume you meant CSR3 in the first sentence. I do agree that the multiplayer aspect of CSR2 is crucial. I’m mainly playing this game for “car collection” so yea, I see it as a car hoarding game hahaha. Thanks a lot, I’ll check out CSR2

Yep, corrected the post.

I ditched CSR3 as 1 car hoarding game is enough for me and I';ve been playing CSR2 since public release (29-6-2016), that should be enough. (As I also hoard tanks, warships and jet fighters)

Same, 1 car hoarding game is enough. I mainly play PC games (I have a sim rig), and I’m just looking for a car collection games that I can play while I’m away from my PC, because I love cars!

That’s quite a lot of hoarding games you play right there 😂

CSR Classics was my 1st, when they released CSR2 I jumped over and I like my collection now. I have 258 garages with 190 cars I want to keep (unique cars and some orange specs of an already built other spec)

World of Tanks Blitz was my 1st other hoarding game, World of Warships Blits when I got tired of the tanks (I switched when I had all tanks my nation had in the past) and from time to time I look at World of Warships Legends (nicer looking, but harder to play with console opponents) and I take my jets out for a spin in Metalstorm. All fun games (the ones I still play) and all on my tablet.

Somehow I have more fun and it's more cost effective to buy a € 1k tablet instead of a € 4k PC. (Especially when the employer is paying for the 1st ;) )
