The American Road Trip 4 (ART 4) continues with the Los Angeles & Showdown Special Event, but it’s no surprise that this event follows the increasingly paywalled trend. While there are great rewards, navigating through the required lock-ins and paywalled cars makes it a challenge for many players.

  4. Fourth Lock-In:

    • Ruffian Galaxie 500:

      • Currently obtainable through the flash event.
      • This is another paywalled car, adding to the event’s challenges.

Crate Mechanics

Crates are locked until the respective car is locked in the event. This means you’ll need to secure the required cars before utilizing any free crates to assist your progress.

Event Strategy and Challenges

The Ruffian GT40 is a standout reward, but accessing it requires substantial investment in paywalled cars and grind-heavy requirements. Players who already own some of the necessary cars, like the Quintin Brothers Camaro, will have a smoother path.
