Judging by this page all RR3 cars are 82,192 to purchase after their 20% showcase discount. That's almost 81 packs of 1,019. US$ 135 per pack is $10,935 to get to that amount of.

To fully upgrade all those cars that's additional 142,822 AKA $18,900.

Total of $29,835 for all currently existing cars. Yeah, not happening, lol.

That said, I play iRacing primarily which is a proper 100% sim, not like RR3. We players pay a monthly/yearly membership and also one-off payment for each car and track. Cars are usually around $12 each but if you buy six of them you pay just four and so on. Same with tracks.

For $29,835 from RR3 you can buy all cars and tracks in iRacing and have an 80 years long membership PLUS a proper sim rig from say Fanatec, a VR headset, triple 1440p 144 Hz monitors and a beast of a PC to run all of that. And plenty of money left. Exactly. Going back, I am definitely sure that no-one will go this high. So, mostly new players/tourists will pay for GC without noticing what's to come. And, most of those won't make it to later stages and bother with new content.

So, once again why is the new content so expensive? Just to f*ck with all the seasoned players who buy them through free play ???
