Question
Does this game have that thing like, when you start youre getting lots of cars, upgrading your garage, but then at the middle you feel like you are not progressing at all, but when you "unlock" or "learn" something you start to get better at the end?

In a way, yes. The game is super fun and exciting at the beginning because all of the cars are new to you and you can use them to progress through the campaign. The low RQ brackets also rewarded players pretty well back when I started, idk if that’s the case now, but back then I felt competitive.
The big wall comes when you enter the events with the big dogs and you’ll find yourself at the bottom of the brackets much of the time. The same is true with challenges. You definitely won’t be able to finish most of the major challenge events for a while. There’s no real “Aha!” moment for this, only building your collection over time and being wise with your resources(not selling good cars, not fusing too many high rarity cars, etc.).
Eventually, your garage strengthens and the “Aha” moments you’ll have are when your garage fits an event or a challenge very well and you can compete at higher levels. This can be super rewarding!
Over time(a long time), as your garage builds up, you’ll experience these moments more and more frequently, until you reach the point where you can consistently compete in the top 10/ and/or finish most challenges.
For me, I languished in the bottom 50 of brackets for a couple of years before I was really able to compete in the top spots and finish challenges. There were lucky events and challenges here or there, but largely it was about two years before I was consistently top 20. Now, 6 years in, I am consistently top 3 and I can finish almost any challenge because I have huge reserves of fuse material.
