Once you get into A level and faster cars I found it easier to get away from the cops. Once I got into week 3 I started carrying a lot higher pot of cash and hitting 5 stars every night. The first time I banked $100k felt really good.
If you see a car is going to be up for grabs at night don’t use any restarts cause you need to win the race to get those. I missed a couple.
Don’t upgrade too many cars. It costs a lot. Just one car for each class is good. But do edge them out. Even if you are ten points behind the guy that’s predicted to be in first those races can be a lot more difficult.
Also, I’m pretty sure if you finish a drift event or a take over you never end in police chase so that can be a good way to try and end your night.
Another thing I figured out later on is if I saw that one cop car that was in my way, don’t hesitate to just smash that fucker and take him out. Better than getting spotted and having the whole force come after you.
