(Sorry if TL;DR)

This old nugget :P People have different views on it, kind of depends on their progress and resources. Someone at 99.9% with R$400+ million might be fine with R$100,000 or more per 1 GC, whereas someone at your level or lower would be more inclined to say R$1,000 for 1 GC. As I see it, you can interpret it in two ways (apart from arbitrary numbers):


 * Either in terms of game economy, the top packs are £79.99, either 5,000,000 or 1,019 Gold, meaning around R$4,907 per 1 GC (call it R$5k)
 * Looking at how much Gold and R$ is necessary to complete the game (assuming no sales, discounts, earnable cars, excluding cars from this update etc) which comes to 96,541 Gold and R$288,057,895, giving R$2,984 (call it R$3k) per 1 GC.

To note, the latter does not include customisation costs. I feel it's a feature that a large portion of players don't touch too much, as they need to save up for upgrades and cars, not cosmetic changes. Additionally, one could take the latter, take away earnings in game (tier completion bonuses, achievements, etc), maybe assume a final Driver Level and draw up a compromise. If FM ever went ahead with this, I'd expect really high exchange rates, which would only be beneficial to people with high R$ stocks, not anyone and everyone. If they ever did something like that, it's been asked pretty much since launch, without FM acknowledging it or taking steps towards it.

As far as fully-upgrading all cars, I need another R$78mil and 44k Gold (currently have R$95mil and 1.5k Gold) so I would perhaps exchange my R$17mil surplus into Gold giving between 3,400 and 5,700 Gold. That would be nearly enough for 100% completion of events, but still 40k Gold away from 100% of the game. What FM doesn't understand is that people that achieve a goal usually set themselves an even bigger goal after. Trying to make it unlikely for players to earn all cars means they'll never try to complete all events. Likewise, trying to make it unlikely for them to complete all events means they'll never try to upgrade all their cars. Forcing their hand into doing so with recent tactics just makes people feel like fools and eventually move on.
