Amrosa, since it's directed at me, I'll respond kindly. I respect and appreciate all the help and insight you provided along the way, I really do. Sorry if this came across in the wrong way but after doing research into best career path, upgrading, etc... I keep coming across info that I feel supports EA/Fire Monkeys are slowly phasing out events/series that have higher R$ & Fame rewards across the board. It's been pretty consistent so this doesn't surprise me. I don't have to agree but I completely understand why they do it.

Easiest and most recent example, McLaren Generations, they reorganized, restructured, different tracks with same tracks and now you have a lower PR for one car, lower fame, lower R$ and those that had completed it prior and redo the event and only got 7 gold? I hope the 120 Gold is for the new Prototype Endurance because otherwise I'm guessing it'll be in the same ballpark for the new. I do agree it's great to add a Prototype Endurance and that'll be a nice addition, plus the new races.

There's a reason they are moving things out of career, is it money? I don't know but I'd guess so. I'd love to say they have our best interest at heart but you know they don't. I'd love to be proved wrong and see a 120 Gold payout. So maybe I'm completely off. But at least I enjoy a good conversation. Beat me up some more :) If you want to be taken seriously, then stop speaking in generalities. If you have done the research then lay it out.

We all know that most of the Le Mans races have reduced payouts. RR3 Michael P and others have been going through the game to document and update all of the changes. But they didn't touch the four-lap race in CFS or the 10-Lap Races in EK or EC. There are others that remain the same, but I am not going through the list. Find Michael's Google sheet and you can see for yourself.

It gets a bit nauseating the complaints about the recompletion rewards for McLaren Generations. They reset it because of a Balance of Performance so that they could group the F1 GTR in a new series with similar class cars and open up new racing for the car, as it was only ever in a single series. 7 you cry... but if you actually completed it the first time through, you got the rewards. Y'all make it sound like these people are your boss making you work overtime and only paying you straight time... It is a game FFS! Everybody complaining about it have already spent more time complaining about it that it would to complete the series!!

Let's also factor in that with out the McLaren reorganization, you would have likely not gotten the repeat of the McLaren F1 GTR Championship (v6.3.1). That is giving you 60 for a series you can likely complete unserviced in less than a day.

So by my count, you are getting 67 for having to recomplete MG.

So FM has made more and varied ways to use DLC that has been sitting in the dark recesses of your account. How Despicable of them. If you all hate the game so much, why the are you still playing it or spending hours talking about it?

And 120 is a guess and would likely be for 2014 Season and the new Endurance Legends, based on what completion rewards usually are. You see, the research I do about the game allows me to make predictions about it, and I usually am not to far off... and that's without any access to insider information, only what is here, on their blogs, and reading between the lines of the design and structure of the game, and the decisions that FM have made in the past. It also includes extrapolations of what other businesses do and how FM might follow a similar course.

And I always caveat everything by saying I could be wrong, but go back a week or two to see what I wrote to people asking for advice about whether or not to buy the 2015's on sale. The clues that I based those one were pretty self-evident.
