There are several methods fairly obvious. But I do think those are dishonest. As I stated before, I used to borrow upgrades because, from my perspective, it really was something endorsed by FM, like using cloud restores in events. Now the rules are clear and even though I can still find some exploits, I won't use them. In any case, I don't even need them, I'm still in group B with less effort than before and group A (top 50 people) is far out of reach.

On the other hand, for those stating that you can't be as fast with only 1-2 years in the game, I say "pick a track, a car and a set of upgrades". Those comments might be true when talking about Elp or Sirebel, but I've won several events easily with far fewer upgrades than lots of "longevity pros".
