Talk:RR3 Wiki:Upgrades Strategy For 100% Completion/@comment-71.190.138.147-20160307095152/@comment-26715739-20160307101944

That's not what this page is about.

Irrespective of which car you upgrade, to get 100% you will have raced and won each race at least once - so you will have the fame (and therefore gold payout) from each race. That is non-variable.

What _is_ variable is the amount you spend to get a car to the point where you can enter the race.

The fame payout in any given series is very small - I just did some quick sums and even for a late career series like McLaren Generations it's only worth approx. 25 gold (from running and winning each race once). But again, doesn't matter which car you race, to reach 100% you will get that payout.

There are certainly a number of races/events which it is certainly advisable to try to get to as quickly as possible - Ferrari Faceoff, Accolade Open, Endurance Kings/Endurance Champions 10 laps.

EK in particular, if you don't win the 919 then it can be worth upgrading the Audi in order to unlock the 10 lap race for the smallest current spend (ie by avoiding paying for the 919 now) - but it's not the cheapest strategy for 100% (because you'll eventually want that 919). It might save you in the long run.

Again - this is about cheapest for 100% - not quickest in time, most efficient path in terms of running races, etc, etc. Cheapest. Least out; most in. And for most people that's the key point of interest.

There's certainly scope for someone, perhaps you - to help out by trying to map a "most efficient" course. Except someone will pick holes in that because they want to race now and the "best car" is in service; or you've not accounted for the time taken to slow the bots so that you can win a particular race unserviced or, or, or...
