Im not sure where the others rank in terms of WTT so I can only speak for myself and the experience Ive had with trying R$ and minimal gold upgrades.

WTT Ranks

I am solidly in group B every week for the WTT. On each of the tracks I am in the top 1% of lap times for that particular track. However, I am still a considerable amount of time away from group A. For example, this week my split is 6.192 and I need another 3.724 seconds to get into group A. For me, that is a ton of time and I dont have the skills needed to get there.

Controls/Assists

Tilt B / low bonnet view / low bumper cam for some time trials / TC:Off / BA:Off / SA: Low / Sensitivity: 1 or 0

Extending The Track

I think this is key for those in group A. I dont use as much of the surface as I should. I only extend the track on the corners I am comfortable with. However I can say that since I have been practicing extending the track, it has indeed helped. I can also say it played a huge role in allowing me to win the Holden Commodor with R$ only.

Practicing

Again, I can only speak for myself and what has worked for me. I really started getting better once I focused on the TT located in the various series. I usually just pick a track I want to learn and make sure I have a fully upgraded car. Then I just load the ghost of the fastest time and go corner by corner. So if Im getting beat by than a half second or more in that first corner, I restart. I dont even finish the lap. I just keep doing this over, and over, and over until I feel like I am maxed out on my potential for the particular section. I progress this way through almost the whole track. It's important to mention that I dont expect to be even with the fastest ghost. I just want to remain close enough to see the ghost, his line, and where I am losing time.

I also made very good use of my time spent farming Le Mans. When I started farming and was going through EK, I was pretty slow, 30-50% in time trials. Over the course of a few months, Im now in the top 50 lap times on all the EK time trials.

So long story short. I just focus on getting faster. It's my top priority in the game so to speak. It's not just to beat the bots or slow them down to make it easy. I want to spend less gold, and the best way to do that is by focusing on speed.

My Opinion

What a lot of people here dont realize is that they themselves can be the biggest gold earners in the game, simply by focusing on speed and eventually spending less gold on special events. I'd dare to say most here could save at least 1 gold upgrade per special event, per update. What is that, 150-200 gold? Speed is the biggest gold assist in this game by far.
