It will cost much less to get 100% completion in the 2016 individual NASCAR series then it did for the 2015. PR is lower (57 vs 58) and gold upgrades are cheaper. I am guessing that FM noticed how few people were actually completing the series. Also, MANY people complained!!

431 (Gold upgrades required to get PR 57.0 in Penske car) *see note at bottom. - 72 (Series completion rewards, assumption based on 2015 payout of 9,14,19,30) - 50 (Sponsorship bonus) - 65 (Gold won in special event) 244 TOTAL GOLD COST

For 3 out of 4 cars in the 2015 NASCAR update, net cost was 550 gold. (the 88 was cheaper)

722 (Upgrades required for PR 58.0) - 72 (Series completion rewards 9,14,19,30) - 50 (Sponsorship bonus) - 50 (Gold won in special event) 550 TOTAL GOLD COST

DIFFERENCE OF 306 GOLD (550 - 244 = 306)

For the 2016 series, I will probably spend 10 gold more on my favorite team do the last Body upgrade rather than the last Brakes upgrade. I would rather have more top speed and acceleration in NASCAR than better braking. I still go and run the 2015 cars at the 10 lap Indy race fairly often. I got the bots VERY fast so it's hard to win. I will DEFINITELY go and run Daytona again and again when this is all done!!


 * To get to 57.0, you do all R$ upgrades 1st. You then do the next gold upgrades in every category. Finally you need to do one more gold upgrade, brakes being the cheapest (based on Penske car).
