There's NO WAY of winning the very hard level(nightmare, legendary) without gold bars. These levels are insanely impossible to get through, and it's even harder that they save 8 or more impossible levels at the end of the episode race. I use to look forward to playing this game, but the past week or so, I'm not enjoying this game!! I already cut the time that I use to play, to a lot less time!! Until some things change, I will get to the point of not wanting to waste my time playing, when it's impossible to win!!
