" Would a newish player be better off heavily upgrading right at the start of an event?"

My take is that the answer to this question is DEFENITEVELY YES, but the real problem is that the game is designed in a way that this strategy is applicable for 1 or 2 cars, then you have depleted your gold coins and you have to wait 1 or 2 months before being able to do that again. And since RR3 is adding almost 1 car per week, this means that in some areas you will be lagging behind unless you spend a lot of real money in the game.

Of course the exact figures change according to how much time do you spend farming, watching ads, and exploiting tricks to increase your gold coins.

" Question is, will RR3 new releases outstrip the gold supply in the future? "

I think that for a player like me this already happened. Most cars are 500-900 coins worth, and for what I see they all have the upgrade scheme where roghly all the odd upgrades are R$ and all the even ones are GC (which, btw, if this scheme was already present in 2014 when I started playing, I would have stopped playing RR3 immediately).

So unless you can spend like 100 dollars a month, this strategy is not applicable. At least not in all cars. What I am doing recently is to choose carefully 1 eventh per month, apply the strategy you suggested, and then use the remaining coins to advance in the Career series (I am inching my way forward at the Vertex series in this period).
