Eyespy wrote: @Biscuits - Not sure I get your drift when you say "Don't buy R$ cars unless you need them right now or have a couple million R$ available, ...."  I thought best practice was to use R$ rather than gold  to purchase cars etc and if the car has a R$ showcase or sale on isn't that the time to get it if you're going to get it at all?

Out of the showcase cars the Merc is the only one that requires GC rather than R$ - is that why you're saying it's the only one worth looking at?

Venom price:  I'm sorry I'm a bit slow on the uptake, please can you clarify what you mean by "And unfortunately to keep the showcases available in the series it's used in driving it is not recommended, but it's up to you if you're going to race it then skip those deals.". You always want to use R$, but soon enough you'll have so much you can go back at a later time and buy cars that are only good for 100% series completion. Right now focus on R$ cars that allow you to progress in the career (Aston Martin V12 Vantage or BMW GT2 ALMS for example)

The second point is what I was getting at. Saving R$ is nice, but not needed long term in reality, saving GC at all times is a good thing.

If you buy the Venom you can race it in the 2 series it is used in, but the more races you complete you will eventually unlock new cars, but some of these cars only have the 1 showcase discount (Like the Koenigsegg Regera and One:1) so if you complete enough races to unlock those cars you have to have 800+ GC ready to buy them, or you are burning your 1 chance to get them at a discount which will cost you 200+ GC on each of them. You could risk hoping another flashback will give you the chance to win it, but that may never happen again.

It's a tough balance between having fun and buying cars. Sure racing and winning more races is fun, but then eventually you get to a point where you miss the chances to get discounts on the GC cars that are crazy expensive. So I'd say be very picky on buying cars, and pick 1 or 2 that you feel like you just HAVE to have, then the rest are just bonus.
