Board Thread:Game Discussion/@comment-33505716-20180603155802

With the announcement of a change to Endurance Kings and sales of LMP cars this release there have been several discussions around the best approach. I would like to advance the theory that anything beyond finishing RTLM is not strictly required and is either for completeness, alleviating boredom, or vanity.

I progressed  my first Endurance Champion car to the 10 lapper (22.2) on Jan. 24 2017. Since then I have run 81 EC races and earned 6,651,072 in fame. Let's call this 115.47 standard races (6.6M/57,600). A standard EK 10 lapper will earn 56,800. Therefore my EC races have earned me an extra 92,376 fame over what I would have earned if I had been racing in EK (115.47X800). Assuming 6k fame per Gold, racing in EC has earned me 15.4 Gold in a year and 5 months (92,376/6,000).

15 Gold in slightly less than a year and a half.

From a straight game economics point of view the Audi was not a good purchase, never mind throwing the Nissan on top of it. So don't think that you are speeding up your progress in the game by opening up EC.
