I don't know if FM changed something, or I just run out of luck, but this made me think if I should even bother with these challanges beyond the bare minimum. Even that bare minimum becomes questionable as time needed/reward ratio is not good at all. At level 451, running PTT enduro for the same time (depending on starting point) would get me at least between 150ish gold and with just a bit of strategy regarding that starting point even 250ish gold easily!

Anyone else have the same experience/thoughts about team challanges these days?

I somewhat feel your pain on this.

I agree some of the TCs in this update seem more challenging for a one-person team. I've tried to be more selective in choosing ones to try. I've skipped going for the team reward on some because they were not worth the time. But I was also able to achieve Gold rewards above the team rewards on both the Euro Track Master Lap Challenge and the Elimination Challenge (just barely on the latter). They both required 15+ hours to accomplish. But, while grueling, I determined it was still more time efficient than my usual farming. I'll spare you my math because everyone is at different stages in the game.

What it often comes down to is how much time are you willing and able to commit? On this last one it was so tight I skipped 2 meal breaks. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have had a chance to make the Top 1000. And I had to race right up to the end of the Challenge. I greatly underestimated the wins it would take to make the Top 1000. Maybe because it was a weekend, some had more time to commit. In hindsight, I probably would've passed on it.

Also, if you get into a TC and it looks too challenging don't be afraid to just quit and cut your losses. It's natural to say to yourself you can't quit because of the time you already invested, but you have to consider how best to spend your future time. Why keeping beating your head against a wall only to earn more worthless R$?
