User blog:Sirebel/Gold, Gold and More Gold

I started writing this as a reply to a post in Corvette C7.R Championship but soon realised it was going to grow into something bigger and more complex so I thought I'd write it as a blog and probably come back and update it as I've been meaning to do the calculations for awhile now on how much gold gets added each update to get to / maintain 100% completion.

The breakdown for this update is as follows (I'll go back and do previous updates when the sun goes in a the beer garden doesn't look so appealing).



The real problem is that FM have added 1953 to the 100% requirement even if you win each of these cars for "free" and there are still two cars to go that are expected to add nearly that each to the 100% requirement. This upgrade means you're going to need to earn around gold in the 6 week upgrade cycle just to stand still, that's 1000  a week.It breaks down to :

* 35/280 free ads

* 50/100/300 from WTT

* 210 from challenges (+ whatever you get from last two cars)

* 67+80 from Automotive Mastery and GTE-Pro: Chevrolet and Porsche

Worst case 357 reward (no ads, no WTT), best case 357  + 580  per week. You still need to find around 400 to 900  per week. Where is that gold coming from? Who here can sustain 400 laps of Le Mans every week?
