Stategy 1 (Loan car with R$ upgrades): 1:31.546, Group F; investment = 0 GC; WTTT reward = 13 GC; balance +13 GC. Gold positive!

Strategy 2 (Clio Cup with 30% discount and FU): 1st attempt 1:27.709 without FU (19/26 upgrades), Group D; investment = 32 GC (28 for car + 4 for upgrades); WTTT reward = 25 GC; series completion rewards so far = 5 GC; balance -2 GC. Nearly broken even!

Stategy 3 (370Z Nismo with LTS upgrades): Group B (assumed); investment = 141 GC; WTTT reward (assumed) = 100 GC; balance -41 GC. Gold negative!

On target! Update ...

Strategy 2 (Clio Cup with 30% discount and FU): 3 more attempts 1:26.293 without FU (now 21/26 upgrades), Group C; investment = 35 GC (28 for car + 7 for upgrades); WTTT reward = 50 GC; series completion rewards so far = 5 GC; balance +20 GC. Gold positive!

=> best strategy! (for me at least, YMMV)

I just managed C so far with Clio Cup and 3333333 upgrades (upgrade cost = 7 GC!), but would need to consolidate that for it to stick, that shouldn’t be a problem though given the few attempts I made so far.

The question now is: Do I FU and try for Group B? 🤔 I am at 22/26 (5342323)  upgrades for the Clio. It would require an additional 15 GC to FU it. I feel like I need to practice more to feel more comfortable driving it (I assume braking points will change with the additional upgrades). Still at 1:29.x. (Group E)
