Section 01
The brief
Thursday's reset refreshes bonuses, collectible rotations, time trials, and prize rides all at once — miss it and the week pays less.
- The reset lands Thursday at 09:00 UTC
- Free vehicles and discounts disappear at the reset
- The weekly challenge takes a week, so start it early
Section 02
Recommended route
Run one short checklist in order: claim the bonus-week properties, start the time trials, check the rotation, and set the session plan.
- Read the bonuses and note the two that fit your assets
- Claim free items and discounts first
- Start the weekly challenge on day one
Section 03
What good looks like
The habit costs twenty minutes and routinely returns more than an hour of ordinary grinding.
- Nothing expired unclaimed at the next reset
