This week’s lineup:
Kia EV6 GT was a season 35 exclusive.
Audi R8 is a hard to find wheelspin car, in the game since launch.
IONIQ 5 N is also a season 35 exclusive.
Alfa Romeo 4C is a season 24 exclusive.
For rarity’s sake the Alfa/IONIQ are the clear winners.
Ewww… another terrible set of choices. This is like being asked to choose between bum cheeks.
We have to love Alfas, it’s a law according to Jeremy Clarkson
Don’t be dissing alfas

I hope the Pontiac firebird 1968 i have looking for it for a long time and the k10
Both are awesome vehicles. I turned my only Firebird into an A class drag car which is crazy fun, would love to have another of both of these.
surely everyone will vote for the Chevy K10? it may be the first car im actually able to spend my backstage passes on
It’s got my vote!

So excited to find that the Dodge and Ford won last week’s vote.
It’s really hard to choose between Mustang and M2! 
what an absolute joke this backstage voting is, I’m sure its fixed so that people don’t get the rare cars and keep playing, the c10 is one of the most sought after cars in the game! I’ve got 37 backstage passes and haven’t been able to spend one yet because of the voting
