Looking over the upgrade tree for this car, this event may not be terribly GC-intensive.

400GC will probably be on the high end of what's required for this event I'm guessing. There are 4 sets of level 2 R$ upgrades for this car, which is helpful. So, if you upgraded every option to the 1st GC upgrade available (plus any follow-up R$ upgrades), you'd spend 361GC and have a car with 23/27 upgrades (4433333). Not sure what PR that would be, but that's a lot of upgrades and pretty consistent with what these LTS's usually require (at least recently).

If that's what it ends up being, I'd be OK with that. Considering the estimated completion bonuses, that's a fairly highly upgraded NASCAR for around 250-300GC net.

By comparison, the McLaren F1 GTR LTS required 25/31 upgrades to complete it. So 23/27 seems about right here, possibly even slightly high by 1 or 2 upgrades. I looked back at the past 5 LTS events (back to the Huracan R3 one) and all required 75-80% of the upgrades to complete. This excludes the Porsche 911 RSR one though since that was a replay of an LTS from last year when the Monkeys were more lenient (only 60% of the upgrades needed for it).

Curious to see what top PR they decide to place on this event.
