I don't quite agree with the poster above. Remember that the reason you have to farm in this game is because the series completion bonuses eventually run out. Almost all of the conversations, calculations, and arguments about farming efficiency on this site assume an endgame situation where very little if any GC is available from series completion so fame is the only way to get gold. If you are new to the game (like I am still at lvl 88), THERE IS still value to completing series bonuses as long as they don't cost GC. There is also a HUGE incentive to reach lvl 150 very quickly, so that should be the goal, not just unlocking the EK 10-lapper. To do this there is no substitution for playing A LOT. It's kind of like the stock market, you don't make money by timing the market but rather by time IN the market.

Also remember that if your goal is 100% completion you're eventually going to have to spend the time to complete those early series anyways. So there is no use burning yourself out running endless laps at Le Mans before it's even necessary.

My advice would be to unlock CFS and EC/EK quickly by playing a lot and skipping any cars and series that aren't at least GC neutral. But once you get there I wouldn't play a farming race more than once a day.

You'll also hear about the perpetual endurance events at the Porsche test track on this thread: http://rr3.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:128665 which can be done really early in the career by FUibg the Porsche 918 concept. I've got some analysis on that thread, but the short version is that I'm not convinced it is the right thing for newer players. 1) With the 918 it is only ever more efficient on high fame bonus days which only happen ~2 times per month. 2) Even then you have to spend a long time doing it, not to mention the amount of practice it takes to get over the learning curve of a difficult race with NO assists. I just don't think a new player should spend that much time farming when there is still GC available from series and there is much more enjoyment.
