This is why I wrote and maintain the Gold, Gold and More Gold blog. If you look at the last year (since the last Le Mans update), the following data for those 9 releases is quite scary:
 * 5,334 required to win all the cars
 * 20,966 added in upgrades required to reach 100%
 * 19,995 added to buy the new cars if you didn't win them

This works out at an average of:
 * 592 per update to win new cars
 * 2,329 per update to upgrade new cars for career
 * 2,221 per update to buy new cars if not won.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that winning the new cars is essential to keep pace with updates.

Those figures don't include the rewards for special events, limited time series and new series which reduce the cost to:
 * 231 per update to win the new cars
 * 1,550 per update to upgrade all new cars for carrer

So you need an average of around 1,800 per release just to stand still. The blog gives some tips on how to get maximum gold but that is still a lot of farming required.
