You did great finding online resources like this one so early! I did too. I started last December and am now level 119.

Best thing to keep in mind: it's supposed to be fun. Sometimes people get so caught up with perfection (100%!) they forget that. Explore the game and find what parts you like best.

I like variety -- racing different tracks, types of races, cars, all the time. Too much of one race/track/car bores me (so I rarely spend time rerunning races to either farm or memorize braking points). But I also like challenge and crashes -- so I like learning to drive better without assists. I also like customizing the cars -- so I F/U some of the cheap ones to have cars to paint and play around with vinyls with. This was worth it to me.

Other people love to dive deep and intense in to one race/track/car for awhile. Find what is fun for you.

The game economy means that you should try to be efficient while having fun, however.

What I did was go to the strategy upgrade page here, write down the series open to me, then add in the gold cost of cars I don't own yet. They I run the series with the best payoffs taking cost of cars still to be aquired into account. With flashbacks available regularly, I also hold off on buying cars that used to have a series to win them. So I jumped around a lot and have a mix of categories open, including Legend now. I also have several series open that I can complete to 50% or 75% with the upgrades and cars I have already - giving me fun races and "free" gold as long as I don't obsess about completing them 100%

Like you, I also can't play all the LTS/SE/flashbacks every release yet (getting closer). I wait for other people to complete it and then choose the ones I can afford. This group is great for that!

Little tricks here for getting GC/R$ in weekly challenges is also great -- for the first time I've hit RS$6M because of it. Enough to start opening more in Elite and Legend.
