A general remark on special events and spending.

In the older events (Up to reign supreme - Regera - 12/2015) you could get a car (minimal upgrade or skip) for about 20% of the showcase discount price, depending on your driving skill.

From their on to about 09/2016 this number crept up to about 40%.

Now with the Ford, I have a feeling that I will have to invest up to 80% of the showcase discount (not possible?) or 70% of the full price to get the car in this special event. IE : special events as a "cheap" way to get new cars is becomming less and less the case. Buying a car at showcase discount and using the time for harvesting becomes a real alternative, if you just wwant a full garage.

The fact that you get the car upgraded (if no skip) can prove valuable in carreer series (not always) or for those wanting to go to 100% completion.
