Is it possible to complete Asphalt 8 Airborne without IAPs?

I love Asphalt 8. But I'm starting to realize it may be impossible to complete without spending an absurd amount of real money, or literal years playing.
To get all the stars, you must buy and max out every car. The in-game currency required to do this is insane. The calculations below were made with info from this wikia.
- 53,419,450 credits and 187,400 tokens to purchase all cars
- the above amounts to $3,060 USD to buy necessary credits/tokens
- 173,847,160 credits to fully upgrade every car
- or $5,800 USD
- Total, if you were to buy everything, $8,860 USD
Now, for time. If each race takes about 3 minutes, and on average you earn 3,600 credits, I calculate roughly 3,156 hrs, or 79 weeks (40hr week), of pure race time, not including time in between races, tuning cars, time for eat/drink/bathroom/sleep, and this doesn't even account for earning the 187,000 tokens.
Given this data, are the game designers making it impossible to complete Asphalt 8 Airborne with reasonable effort/purchases?
Best Answer
There is only 0.096% chance (by luck) that you can complete the game. It involves the blueprints of certain McLaren race car which you will require to enter season 10 and some credits to upgrade your any vehicle to max level so that you can race in season 9. This chance is calculated through car kits reward giving pattern, but according to me till season 9 you can get DEVEL SIXTEEN PROTOTYPE, giving you the most thrilling experience out of your 2.5 GB game and it is worth it. Another thing, to save money you can look for some cars (for eg. chevrolet corvette C7 that provides you extra 16 star on winning while you dont need another chevrolet car), which gives you more stars per credit used.

Well, hate to burst your bubble but Asphalt 8 is not free. You still have to pay for things to get somewhere in the game. You can play for free but then you will be taking forever just to get in the game. Plus, they have so many frickin ads on the game, that there is no way it is free for them to let us play.What is the fastest way to progress in Asphalt 8?
