Coincedentally, I stopped paying attention to the SE upgrades championed in the forums somewhere between the original One:1 SE and the original RSR '17 event as I found they were diverging too far from my abilities. As Sirebel implies above, they are more like minimums; for a group heavily influenced by gold grade WTT participants, who I recognize are there because they are much better drivers than I, not because they have more upgrades. I am sure ME7 could kick my FU'd butt with an R$ upgrade car!

Anyways, I pay more attention to the Monkey recommendation these days in SEs. I can match it in some events, need an extra 1 PR when there are some restrictions and need an extra 2 PR for events with restrictions that I find difficult (such as no off-track).

For example, I fully expect to put between 450g and the next upgrade after that to win the RSR '17 and 720s, and may still need to skip an event or two.
