In this particular instance, you could easily end up spending more than it would have cost to just buy the car and be no further forward in the game. Whilst you'd still have a more upgraded car, this will only be of any use if it appears in WTTT or another series. Sirebel, I went over it on another post. But you are talking a 4 difference if you were to have fully upgraded.

If you didn't have the Countach fully upgraded (I think you only needed it at 38.5 up until this point) you would have had to spend 66 to get to 40.5 and 200  for the Ferrari, which would be unupgraded instead of fully upgraded.

Then if you factor in The Completion Rewards for 80's Poster Exotics and any fame you got from the event, ads (Max of 120 for the six days of the event), that you could actually win it with PR 38.5, Road Trip is actually a gold positive addition to the game. I'm not getting why you count in 120 gold as in gold positive car addition to the game? Watching ads have nothing to do with the car.

I had the countach fu, so I had to spend 200 gold (didn't check which is the cheapest path, not complaining tho) for 5engine 5 body rest 3s just so I could complete 3 races. Rest were doable on the countach. The only thing that annoys me is that none of it were needed other than se completion, as Sirebel pointed it out.

And yes, it's my own fault for overspending, I'm not complaining about that. (before someone only grabs that from my post lol)

It seems that SE is spend-dependent more than skill-dependent now. The so-called "recommended PR" might as well be "mandatory PR", even then we might not be able to complete the stages.

In my opinion, the title of your topic is make sense.. EA/FM is aiming the top driver only.. for average driver like me, the road trip finished more or less at similar upgrades like any other SE.. I'm terrible with names, but I seem to recall seeing you post in a lot of wttt threads, mostly with RS only upgrades, posting strong B times.. That's not average. You're definitely a good driver, don't belittle yourself! :D

Correct.. you are terrible with names.. 😆😆 You may be confused between me and someone else like lochy (cannot blame you since he constantly changes his username), aceofzena or some other fellows.. I always fall behind them even with higher PR.. since I am still using assists.. anyway appreciate your compliment regardless that you may intend to praise someone else.. 😅😅
