Upgrade Strategy Test Page ''v5.4. Updated 28-July-2017.''

Best-Car Calculation Method For the current series, each car is upgraded to see if it can be used to complete the series. Each car is then assigned a value based on a variety of factors including with different "weights" applied to each of the factors. The cars are then sorted on those values and the lowest value is selected as the "best" car for the series. Additionally, it is possible to force a car to be selected as the "best" car for the series. Calulation method ... No cars have been forced to be selected for a series. Total upgrade cost for all mandatory (green) and "best" (blue) entries is {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: left; border: 2px solid #6C93B1; width: 100%;"

Series entry details Note: the column-headers are more specific to the Car-Event entry lines! Car-Event entry details Upgrade Strategy Table
 * Index. The Series number as per the Series and Special Events page.
 * Series/Tier. The Series name.
 * PRs. The maximum PR for the Series.
 * Upgrades. The Series Abbreviation. Each Car-Event entry shows all Series (which are in the table) for the current car BUT because there is limited space I have used the Series Abbreviation rather than the full Series name. The Series Abbreviation is (normally) the first letter of each word of the Series name. Visit here for a full list of the Series Abbreviations.
 * Reward. The Series completion and sponsorship rewards. The cost of the upgrades on each Car-Event line is deducted from this to show the net rewards.
 * Index. The Tier-Event numbers for the event.
 * Series/Tier. The Tier name/description.
 * Car. Yep, you guessed it!
 * Series. All Series (Abbreviations) in the table for this car, listed in the order they appear, allowing you to jump to the previous/next entry for the car. The number of subsequent series affects the "best" selection calculation and could explain why a more costly entry has been selected e.g. V8 Performance Brawl and RWD Open Revolution. Click on the link to jump to that series in the table.
 * PRs. Car minimum PR. Event PR. Car maximum PR.
 * Upgrades. Additional (and Total) Upgrades. Upgrade string. Upgrade PR.
 * Cost. Cost of this entry's upgrades in Gold and R$.
 * Reward. The nett series reward, in Gold and R$, after allowing for this entry. For optional entries, this replaces the best entry reward. For a good example of this, see the Endurance Champions series entry which features a mandatory event, a best event and optional events.
