    hmm interesting,
    3 - 4.5 points in one race?...lets calculate:

    1. icon level 9999 give you 333.3 % for followers (if all your points sets on popular at comfort panel). All car parts have followers increase bonus, and of course your magnet bonus is active;

    2. next, calculate NY race followers: 42000 - reward on ace level, 2 - is coefficient from magnet bonus; 333.3% - followers bonus from pilot comfort panel, next, 42 % - this is bonus, that car parts gives to you if they all have follower icon). So , lets use main formula for calculating total followers number in one race : 42000*2+(42000*(333.3+42))/100 = 241626

    3. for one level up you need ~43000 follower, and only every third give you icon point. So lets calculate: 241626/43000=5.62 and 5.62/3=1.87, game mechanics rounds to an integer, so its around 2 icon points!

    4. put attention in summit for default you can get 300000 followers, and that give you only 2 points.
    From game mechanics to get 3 point in every NY race your reward must be around 400000 followers. To get this amount of followers you need ~700% in pilot comfort panel for popular, but level 9999 gives you ~333%. Yes, we also know that after level 9999 game don't display next levels, but you will still keep getting points. So before level 9999 you can't get 3 icon points in every race.

    sorry for these calculations. Once upon a time, I also set myself the same goal as you, I wanted to reach the final level of 9999 icons. I even started to play hard, but I quickly realized that this was a bad idea. That is why I made these calculations. These calculations showed me that this is a useless goal, it takes too long. Unless the developers make it easy to level up, I don't want to spend years achieving that goal. Because new racing games will be released at that time, maybe even Crew 3 will be released.

    So some technical calculations can save you time!

    than who is the skilliest

    its realy tought, to do it

    most people dont understand that its not because something is easy at first that it will always be easy
    they thinkg 1 + 1 + 1 + 1
    its not how it works at all and they are deadly wrong
    which makes it that the more u go to rank up ur icon pts the harder it gets
    by the end i could barely do any races but i pushed trough cuz its what it is to be a winner
    now im at the top and the first to have made it to 9999 in the stadia version

    now that ive nailed that i can cofirm its a heck of a feeling to make it to 9999
    and worth absolutly every bit of painfull efforts i had to put in
    Okay, now you can put that you got to LVL 9999 on your resume...oh wait! You actually can't because that achievement only has merit IN A VIDEO GAME! Hope you realize, in the grand scheme of things, how much time you wasted that you are NEVER going to get back. About two years of your life, gone! Hope it was truly worth it.

    Bragging rights aside, what did you actually accomplish? To quote from The Amazing World of Gumball:

    You earned the No Life Trophy.

    what allowed me to do it in9 months is because at about the 2 month mark or 4th month mark
    i started doing mosnter truck 6 to 8 hours a day(leaning toward 6 i think)
    id do usualy 3-4 sesasion of about 1 to 1h3 to 2hours
    sometimes with an extra hour
    all that per day

    i think i was able to do 7 to 8 pts per hour via monster truck 8x6 = 48 pts
    30(days)x 48 = 1440
    so about 1400 pts a month i do but sometimes id get it prob near 2000 with all the extra pts id make from race and summit event icon pts
    1500 icons pts per month = in 7 months u have 9999

    when they removed the ability to make this many points from doing monstert ruck i think i was at 8300 or 8400
    i then did the races i mentioned for about same amount of time each day that i did monstee truck tho maybe 1-2 hour less per day maybe
    and it took me i think 1 month an da half to get remaiing pts like that

    if i ddint have the monster truck thing,
    it would have taken me prob 2 years to get to 9999
    since i started playing in may of 2020 i doubt i would have kept playing for 2 years
    since its not that interesting of a game and one thats fun to play for that long
    thats why i rushed it, knowing that the clock was ticking in terms of me giving up because of that

    I don't need to be given these technical calculations, nor do I consider it a useless goal. It's a long-term goal, and I'm not going to be deterred by anyone on this.

    Lots of the 9999 Icon Level players used macros in the early days when it was easy to keep stacking followers from doing things.

    Don't know if anyone is still attempting to do so, but they used to hang out on the Salt Flats. Back then it was fun to find a car doing just that and to mess with them.

    Why would you want 9999 then? You'll obviously be labeled as a cheater or exploiter because, realistically, you'd have to be in order to obtain it. Doing so legitimately, would be the equivalent of having a second job. IDC how many Icon points you have. You'll still be grinding "ad nauseum" for a ridiculous amount of time. If that's your idea of "fun", it's no wonder a game like "The Crew" is so profitable...

    EDIT:

    There is one particular Speedtrap that takes place on a highway in the center lane out of AI traffic's way. You could technically rig a macro and grind it while you sleep. Very slow progression but 8+ hours of doing that? Could be profitable.

    FTR, I discovered the location but am not exploiting it. CBA to play this game longer than I have to to progress Summits.
