I picked Goblin - because it's weird (like me

). I'm a Class E license.
So far the game is fun - though I'm having a hard time figuring out how to Beat the Champion E Class Driver (last thing I need to do to move up) since I can't seem to
find that person.
Click on your license-there should be a small button near that requirement saying "race now" or something of the sort (it's on the left). Be patient; it takes a few seconds to load. Once you race and beat him (he's rediculously easy), you'll need to go to your license again and click the "upgrade now" button that will appear in the same spot.
Thanks for that! SRV on MLN Team made the same point. I am now a D license (have around 12,000 points I think...)
As for buying the second car. I also decided to wait after I read that a requirement for a C license was to buy a car. It seemed to work out OK.
