Pay to Win reported on Nov 30, 2023
Many of the best cars in the game can be purchased in the store.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Nov 30, 2023
Card packs are essentially loot boxes, and many of them are purchasable in the shop.
Recurring Fee reported on Nov 30, 2023
The recurring Legend Pass rewards repeat purchases, offering money off the next pass. This is an optional purchase that lasts around a month.
Pay to Skip reported on Nov 30, 2023
Legend Pass gives you a free daily ticket refill and extra gas capacity on your cars. These are both things that would otherwise require waiting for a timer or watching ads.

Wildcards can be given to clubmates who request them.
Wait To Play reported on Nov 30, 2023

Badges / Endowed Progress reported on Nov 30, 2023
There is a challenge system that rewards you with a small number of tokens for various arbitrary achievements.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Nov 30, 2023
All over the place: season events run for a few weeks but are still large progress tracks and can be challenging to complete in time, daily events are mostly daily, although some persist for a few days. Almost everything in the shop has a time limit attached. Multiplayer races are in time limited seasons.
Invested / Endowed Value reported on Nov 30, 2023
Building a car collection and upgrading takes months if not years of grinding, and the best cars in the game are very hard to come by.
Complete the Collection reported on Nov 30, 2023
Cars, so many cars...
