I agree completley with Michael here. I know that reaching the 10 lap LeMans events was a huge turning point for me. I have been playing this game for roughly 3yrs now (probably even a bit more) and I just upgraded my LeMans car to get to the 10 lap event maybe about 10months ago. Since then, the ability for me to gain R$ and increase levels (gaining GC), has been immense. I've been able to purchase tons of cars (probably doubled my garage in the last 10months (now up to 134/143 cars) and R$ is rarely an issue any more.  You could just farm the LeMans race and play once a day and still earn millions of R$ each week easily (and likely GC as well from level upgrades).

Getting to the 10 lap events makes a massive difference in your outlook on the game. I was equally frustrated, playing hours and hours and making only minimal progress. Once I realized what I needed to do to get to the 10 lap events, I made that my priority and every R$ and GC I earned went towards upgrading my Porsche 919 to get the PR high enough to unlock the 10 lap events (in EK). After I got there, things became much easier. I admit, I have the advantage of having won the 919 in the first LeMans special event, so I didn't have to purchase it, which helped for sure. However, that just highlights how important it is to try to win the Special Event cars when they are offered. I'm sure we'll see another LeMans event coming up here in a few months, take advantage of it.

It's a struggle for sure (heck it took me 2+yrs), though it's well worth it. And I'm sure I could get there much more quickly if I started again, knowing what I know now.
