User blog comment:Sirebel/Mazda Update (5.4.0)/@comment-29605676-20170904214128

Great post. In summary, my situation to aid the discussion and a slightly different route for those who can't get into group A/B/C of WTTT (yet)

I was about 300 gold positive this update, which I wasn't really expecting when v5.4 was released. This included buying Boxster on sale as well as winning Veneno and AM Vantage N430. I had other cars in Flashbacks and got what gold I could without upgrading.

Also got all daily awards and generally 15 gold a day with ads. I levelled up 11 times (195-206) through events and farming, mainly on bonus fame days. I only took part in some team events but probably got ~30 gold from them.

For the first time, got 50 gold twice from WTTT - previously mostly didn't have top cars for each event. Watching Speed Junkie's videos also helped a lot.

Lastly, gold came from completing series - new ones as well as ones with the my 'new' old cars.

So, yes a good update. +3 old cars and gold positive. I hope v5.5 is something similar
