Pro Tip: Always check the 'How to unlock/Package' column. Some of the best upgrades are locked behind specific packages, so you might need to progress through certain events or challenges to get your hands on them. Prioritize acceleration and handling parts early on, then look into Nitrous and better tires as you get into tougher races.
