49,900 gold. So about 1,000 weeks of wttt group C under the current system, which is where my Vanquish lap put me, and is the one regular event that I would like to but can no longer participate in.

59 days to go from level 299 to 1,001, just under 12 levels/day - about an hour and a half a day, on average, exploiting the glitch.

I figured that they would probably fix the glitch for the August 20th update, EA/FM had been told about it before I started using it at the end of June. My birthday was the day before so when using the glitch I set myself a target of level 1,000 and upgrading all the existing cars to 'completion status', be it for career, motorsports or exclusive. I already had a full garage so I spent over half the ~50K on upgrades, I now have about 21K.

I fully expected the ban, it made me even more determined to reach level 1,000 - and I was able to exploit the glitch whilst banned anyway. Now I just have to complete the remaining 1,440 races left 'un-run', which will take a few months if not over a year, whilst adding new releases to my garage along the way.

With the benefit of hindsight I would do exactly the same all over again.
