base game has how many vehicles

[TEITANBLOOD]

why does the store say in app purchases? does it mean even the base game vehicles have to be purchased with real money or something?

You can buy a premium currency called "Crew Credits". Those are needed to purchase vanity items (special tires, underglows, window tints, rooftop items such as policelights or actions cameras; basically, a load of cosmetic stuff). Vanity items can not be purchased with the game's normal currency ("Bucks").
However, Crew Credits can also be earned in the game by completing challenges.

All vehicles, bar 3 exceptions or so, can be purchased using Bucks.

what do you mean by normal currency? in game money like you earn in every other racing game?

Yeah, Bucks are what I call the "normal currency". Bucks are earned for completing races, playing PvP, are rewarded for playing Summit, completing challenges.

Crew Credits are the game's premium currency. They can be obtained by buying Crew Credit packs, but they can also be earned in the game under specific conditions (but they're rare, sort of).

thanks. just a few other things i need to know

1. is the AI improved since launch
2. keyboard controls any good ? since i hate playing with controller and i don't have space for a wheel.

1. I never saw any issues with the AI, so I cannot tell you if it was improved.
2. Keyboard controls are customisable. However I have no idea how the game plays on keyboard (I play with a controller).

The AI never was a problem for me but i do have to admit that a lot of races are not possible to win with the difficulty set to MAX (5/5). I usually do everything with one level beneath MAX, means 4/5 difficulty and its challenging but satisfying and especially POSSIBLE.

Keyboard Controls feel surprisingly good but you will have to adjust a couple things in terms of Key Bindings and Wheel Radius for more comfort. Personally, i did not have problems adjusting myself to default Keyboard Settings but i can imagine that DRIFT events can be a tad harder.

Keep in mind that you certainly will need to turn on assists, such as ABS, Traction Control and Stability Control if you really want to play with Keyboard (except for drift events obviously) so you keep having an enjoyable experience. I tested those assists pretty good and they DO NOT make you significanlty slower than with OFF settings. In fact, a lot of races are way easier to win with those on since the AI also have those (at least it feels/ seems like it)

Well, as a matter of fact, ABS is someting I would personally never turn off in any game.
As for Traction Control, turning it off in TCM puts you at a disadvantage. I normally play all my games without TCS, but in Motorfest it just makes the launch so much slower, which is anything but helpful for Summit and Grand Race.
