Dave,

Just in case my explanation of my "one issue" was confusing I'll try to explain it differently, in the hope that you might have a suggestion for how to resolve it and thereby move the Upgrade Strategy a step further towards being automatic!

The best visual way of explaining this is for you to visit my Upgrade Strategy blog page, jump to the Upgrade Progression page, sort the table by Car and look at the Porsche 911 RSR (2015).

I made the (incorrect) assumption that each series is a progression from the previous one, that each series would be harder than the one before it and therefore require a higher PR. I made this assumption partially because it was the only way to have a progressive upgrade strategy i.e. one where the upgrades for a car are based on a previous set of upgrades ... the alternative is my Minimum Upgrades page (also available from my Upgrade Strategy blog page) where each car-series upgrade assumes no previous upgrades which means completely different upgrade paths might be taken, which is no good for a strategy!

So, I retrieve all car-events combinations, remove any which don't have a PR, and sort them by car-series-event. Then, for each car, I determine the upgrades required to complete the series' required/maximum-PR event(s) and I do this for each entry for the car. I base the next upgrade on the previous set of upgrades (or no upgrades) i.e. an upgrade progression.

This all works fine until you get something like ... Masters of Speed with a PR of 85 followed by Racing Spirit with a PR of 84 both featuring the same car(s) ... this effectively breaks my strategy!

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Nick
