TEST STRATEGY PAGE.
''v5.3. Updated 14-June-2017.'' Upgrades Required to Complete each Series. Now includes "weighting" for entries which appear in subsequent series to determine which is the "best" entry for the current series. Most series have one event which has the maximum PR for the series and features all cars BUT some series have mandatory upgrade events, these are events which have a PR but are not for all the cars in the series so the upgrade is mandatory. This table shows the maximum-PR mandatory event for each car AND the event with the maximum PR for all cars with the best (i.e. cheapest) car upgrade strategy along with all other car upgrade strategies. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; border: 2px solid #6C93B1; width: 100%;"

 * Car-Event entry. Suggested "best" (or only) Car Upgrade Strategy to complete the Series. NOTE: To ensure that subsequent entries have the correct upgrades and costs, the table features only one "best" non-mandatory entry per series.

 * Car-Event entry. Req = O. Optional Car Upgrade Strategies to complete the Series. NOTE: This is not the suggested upgrade strategy SO to ensure that subsequent upgrade costs are correct, subsequent entries for the same car will not take into account these upgrades.

All Car-Event entry details ... Known Issues ...
 * PRs. Car minimum PR. Event PR. Car maximum PR.
 * Upgrades. Additional (and Total) Upgrades. Upgrade string. Upgrade PR.
 * Cost. Cost of this entry's upgrades in Gold and R$.
 * Reward. The nett series reward, in Gold and R$, after allowing for this entry. For optional entries, this replaces the best entry reward. For a good example of this, see the Endurance Champions series entry which features a mandatory event, a best event and optional events.
 * Determining the "best" entry is based on a number of factors including the upgrade costs, upgrade PR and the number of subsequent series for which the car is required and/or can complete the series. This is all very subjective and may not always be the "correct" or cheapest entry for the current series.
 * Each subsequent entry for a car is based on the previous entry for that car. If the previous entry is not considered the "best" entry then the upgrades and costs are not added to the (already done) totals for that car BUT the upgrades are maintained because the alternative would be to start from the previous "best" entry (or no upgrades) which could result in a completely different upgrade path being taken in which case the strategy becomes meaningless. This is only a problem where a subsequent entry for the same car has a lower PR.
 * e.g. Porsche 911 RSR (2015) in Masters of Speed and RACING SPIRIT. The "best" entry in RACING SPIRIT is based on the optional entry in Masters of Speed.
 * To see a list of car-series combinations and the minimum upgrades required, visit my Minimum Upgrades sandbox page, those calculations presume no previous upgrades and may result in different upgrade paths being taken.
 * I have a simpler Upgrade Strategy page which shows each series and the cars which can complete the series. As on this page, each upgrade is based on the previous upgrades for the car. But it can be sorted by car which makes it easier to follow the upgrade progression. Visit my Upgrade Progression sandbox page.
