Getting the 370Z Nismo is not going to be gold positive for me. The LTS costs net 141 GC to complete and with LTS upgrades I will achieve Group B at best, so that‘s -41 GC. Even taking into account 100% completion of the series it is in, it is still -21 GC (I can complete to 75% without this car).

Getting the Clio Cup with a 30% discount will break even for me at worst (Group D):

- Initial cost: -28 GC

- FU cost: -26 GC

- 75% completion of Hot Hatch Power Match: +23 GC

- 25% completion of Hot Hatch Power Match 2: +6 GC

- Group D WTTT reward: +25 GC

=> break even, without compromising my showcase discount on the Megane (which I also don’t have).

To compensate for the 13 GC I can get by finishing in Group F with the loan car (i.e. don’t get 370Z Nismo OR Clio Cup), I need to achieve Group C with the FU Clio Cup in which case I would then definitely be gold positive! 😎 Time to take stock ...

Stategy 1 (Loan car with R$ upgrades): 1:31.546, Group F; investment = 0 GC; WTTT reward = 13 GC; balance +13 GC. Gold positive!

Strategy 2 (Clio Cup with 30% discount and FU): 1st attempt 1:27.709 without FU (19/26 upgrades), Group D; investment = 32 GC (28 for car + 4 for upgrades); WTTT reward = 25 GC; series completion rewards so far = 5 GC; balance -2 GC. Nearly broken even!

Stategy 3 (370Z Nismo with LTS upgrades): Group B (assumed); investment = 141 GC; WTTT reward (assumed) = 100 GC; balance -41 GC. Gold negative!

On target! The Clio is looking good.
