The final goal of the game is to be able to beat the Kairo race before March of the 14th year comes, this is a very challenging single race, so even with the best car upgraded at its maximum and a well trained driver, you probably won't make it if you don't know about everything on the game.
First of all, is to gain access to this race, for this, you will need to beat all 3 Grand Prix and after that, a very difficult race in a monkey world. Let's see the steps for the 3 GP.
Story
First Grand Prix
Before you beat the first Grand Prix, you can only have 1 driver and 2 mechanics, it's not very challenging so you will be able to beat it while getting familiar with the game. My only advise will be to BEAT IT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, this doesn't mean to enter the GP as soon as you gain entry (if you don't win, you will have to wait quite a long time before being able to enter again). When you beat it, you will advance to Formula Asia, another driver and 4 mechanics per driver, this makes 10 workers (2 drivers, 8 mechanics) when you only had 3 before (1 driver, 2 mechs). This translates in over 3 times the amount of data you collect and team development and some more money on every race you do.
It is quite easy to beat this level with the Buggy with some upgrades. Upgrade the Roadster to 20% as soon as you can and get your Teams tech to 100 then build the buggy and you'll be in good shape. To know if you are able to win the GP, try all the levels you unlock by placing first on previous ones and place always first with some seconds of margin. Speed and acceleration are of most importance here.

| Sandbeach | on-road | 1 | 200.0K | spd, hndl | 0:37.00 | ? | ~58,200 |
Asia Grand Prix
Here you will spend a lot of time researching for new parts, vehicles and upgrading your mechanics, it's not hard at all and you are no longer in a hurry since you have 10 employees and when you go to the next stage you will only be able to have 14 (2 more mechanics for each driver)
While beating levels here, you will unlock the Brazil stage, this stage is really long and requires 2 laps, so it's great to gather research data inside the race, but you car will need a lot of durability, which was almost useless until now.
Getting a B class level car is recommended to beat this GP, very few upgrades with this car would be enough, or you can use a well improved C class.

Third Grand Prix
You got your fully upgraded team, once you get here you don't need to rush, the catch is that every time you beat the GP, both your drivers will be granted a golden aura. A golden aura is incredibly important in the game and this is the most certain of the few ways you have to get one.
To be able to finish it you can have: B car with very good upgrades (see auras), super car or mach car fully but bad upgraded
Monkey Land
This is just a single race, but you will need either a very good upgraded A or S level car or an aura+a fully bad upgraded S car to beat it.
Kairo Race
The most difficult race, for this, you will need a very well upgraded S or A car with an aura, as it's very difficult to beat it without the aura.
Others
- Tech attribute does influence while creating a car, installing parts and repairing. For upgrading Tech does not affect the outcome, just the time needed for it.
- After reaching a gold star with your sponsor, wait to receive the gift from them, drop them then move onto the next sponsor. The sponsor update happens two times a year which you will receive funds, research points and researchable parts.
- Getting money is very easy, even early in game, always place priorities on research data.
- Very early in game, you might run out of money building your car and hiring, worry not, the secretary will give you 300k extra when you are below 100k for the first time.
- Having a low team Tech total can result on building cars with far below their specs, if you try to build a Mech car with 150-200 Tech points, the result can be worse than an Aero Car, B-class, so aim for the best of your capacities to compete.
How to win on time
It's really hard to make it on your first try, not impossible but really really hard. The second time is way easier because you get to keep 1 car model and 1 part with all of their upgrades, this actually calls for strategy, since if you want to beat the last race you might need a really good upgraded Super Car or Mach Car, that can be fully upgraded with just golden auras if you keep upgrading them and getting them back with upgrades to the next game.
What you have to think about is that you can carry over your Mech Car poorly upgraded, so you couldn't properly upgrade it on your next game, and thus not beat the game either.
What you really need:
- Mech Car upgraded with pink auras for durability, and a mix of golden, pink and grey auras for the other 3 (the fewest pink, the better) or and even better upgraded Super Car (A-Class)
- Build your winning car with the best aura possible
- Install Slick Tires and V12 Engine, both upgraded with as many auras as possible, if you needed 2 attempts for the game, you can carry one of these to the next game, so be sure to have at least one of them upgraded with only auras to carry over. For the other two, you can use Aero-body and Carbon Breaks, but many combinations that use Carbon breaks or Supercharger are fine too.
- If possible, use lower auras to install all of these parts
- About 450 Tech points on the team that builds the car
- High driving skills (not really need auras to get enough)
- Golden Aura to improve your stats when the race is yet in the classification step.
- Place the Settings on the "Normal Speed" for the last race if you have a fast iPhone, or the game will be too difficult to control.
