Sorry to do this to you, but "Sixth Element" (which you'll likely need R$ for) is in between the two as well.

Re gold: I note that the next team event is an overtaking challenge. Those are usually good for 40-60 gold (guaranteed), and at a better rate of return on racing than Le Mans. R$ return can also be ok because you tend to win decent R$ - because it's not getting split 20 ways (I won R$1M first time, but only R$250K the second).

But only if you are willing to be in a team of 1. I'd expect Richmond will be the obvious choice for overtaking large numbers of cars in a short span of time. Fame and R$ payouts for the actual races are a joke of course.

Hmmmm - they've changed the rules so you can only smash up half the field. But I wonder if lapping the crashed cars lots of times will compensate for the time spent to smash them? I did Richmond 20 lapper yesterday (in Pre Season) in about 15 minutes after spending 8:00 minutes on the first lap trying to smash cars (probably at least 3:00 of that was wasted), winning cars in 10 minutes.

IIRC I passed the last smashed up car around lap 10, so if we assume relatively even distribution of smashed cars it's probably about 2 cars per lap, so first 2 cars gets you 20 overtakes, second 2 19 etc; my sums say that's about 320 overtakes - if we say I'm right and you can clear half the field in 5 minutes, then you're looking at 60+ per minute. Probably better than you could get under normal circumstances going forward. You probably have a shot of catching up to the backmarkers that are now indestructible if you get the timing/carnage right.

Of course FM might decide that cars that are out of the running aren't overtakeable. But could be a theory worth investigating.

Might even be easier to do with one of the 2015 "hero" cars if you've got them upgraded and their 20 lapper available.
