I disagree with you RR3xyz: you do NOT have to use this method to win gold in the WTTT. Before they expanded the gold payouts down to Group C, I used to post a time in all WTTT stages each week, but didn't make much effort (if any) to improve my times. Since the change to the payout structure, I have made an effort to set better times and have finished in Group C every week.

I have never used the upgrade-cloud restore technique... If I upgrade a car, I keep the upgrade.

I have been playing for a while and own almost all the cars (which obviously helps!), but I reached this position by playing ALOT, with some small IAPs along the way periodically.
