As per my earlier response, a big problem with all of this is that it's a constantly changing landscape, every update adds new series, new cars to existing series and existing cars to new series, so I'm not sure how helpful this truly would be.

I don't think anybody plays in a totally linear fashion, we tend to jump around (especially at the start) to make use of the serviced cars and available races to build our BRL and resources.

I still think that the Upgrade Strategy is the best solution. For example, my Upgrade Strategy (PR issues aside) shows the cost of upgrading cars, the best car to use and the nett cost/reward per series.

Unfortunately, as I discovered and which necessitated a rewrite of my Upgrade Strategy, PRs can be lower for subsequent series (or higher for earlier series) ... and this really comes back to using the Upgrade Strategy.

I don't know the series tier-unlock rewards but I do know they're not the same. I do know the Level-Up rewards. We do know the daily GC rewards, they're detailed in the calendar ... though what about Elite players getting double rewards?

I think Exclusive Series should be included as a lot of the time the cars have already been fully upgraded to complete the series.

As per my earlier post I'm happy to work on such a problem but there are quite a few issues (e.g. the PR inaccuracies making suggested upgrades possibly incorrect) and this all being rather confusing and seemingly very similar to the Upgrade Strategy. Also, do we assume that cars unlock when there is a Showcase event except when the car is the only car in the series e.g. NISSAN SILVIA (S15) R3 Spec. My suggestion is that you have a think about this a bit more and try to add some more meat to your suggestion AND write a (loose) set of rules to get started.

Sorry if this isn't the response you hoped for.
