A little over 3 hours for 40 (or will it be 20+40 for 180+150 runs) gold. Plus of course 330x400 - using the aforementioned GTR - fame which equates to around 20 gold.

Makes a change from, and more profitable than, 6 x EC 10 lappers for around 50 gold farming Le Mans I suppose.

Edit: A tad under 30 second for the F14T but only 300 fame. Fame for P1 GTR is only 200 for a win, so that won't even account for 10 gold. Koenigsegg Regera ES 13.3 or the Vertex Series 13.2 in Legend pay 400 fame for a win. And time from green to green with unserviced car will be 45 seconds. So your estimate is a bit optimistic. Considered off-track will not count (and you will have a few when doing 330 of them) my estimate would be at least 4.5 hours. Still better than 9 EK or EC 10 lappers on LM though! I've just run a few McLaren Generations 16.3 Spa Speed Snaps and been paid 400 fame for each one. Screenshot:

So the wiki needs updating.

Green to green unserviced took me 34 seconds.

Yes, one has to account for a certain 'failure rate'. I think mine was around 1 in 20 last time around on average, mostly biased towards the end of the when I got sloppy and bored. Okay, Wiki needs to be updated indeed. You must have a really fast device, mine took just under 40 seconds between green lights and during challenge a few seconds are needed to send the result (servers will be much heavier loaded in comparison with yesterday's speed event or distance challenge). Imagine if you're already bored after 20 speed snaps how it will be after 200? Will you go for the 330 on your own? Yeah, I always run alone. I couldn't commit to a team and run an event, what, every 4 or 5 days? I'd get chucked out for non-participation.

The bored and sloppy was when I did the 'team' speed snap challenge last time, April 16th, I think that was a ~9 second run at Catalunya plus reload time of ~15 seconds, 25 seconds green to green. Didn't have any server problems that day and it took a little over 2 hours.

The main thing is not to check your progress otherwise the target speed gets higher, always use retry and estimate how many R$ it should take to reach 330 attempts. At least you don't actually have to win each challenge, taking part (without going off track) is enough.
