Someone else asked about my math behind 161,280 being 460% fame. I was busy racing my brains out so I didn't answer. I love math, so here it is;

The base fame amount for the 10 lap Endurance Champions race is 28,800;

Equations with step by step breakdown; [1] 28,800 + 100% fame = 57,600
 * 28,800 base + 28,800 = 57,600
 * The bonus portion is 28,800 which is 100% of the base amount. You don't inlcude the base, you wouldn't say you got 200% fame.

[2] (28,800 + agent) + 100% fame = 115,200
 * 28,800 + 28,800 = 57,600
 * 57,600 + 100% = 115,200
 * HOWEVER, this is 300% fame, not 400%. It's just like [1]. You have to exclude the base of 28,800 from the determing the percentage. Try it on your phone calculator. BUT, make sure you use the percentage button! Enter as follows; 28800 + 300 % =

[3] ((28,800 + 40% fame) + agent) + 100% fame = 161,280
 * 28,800 + 40% = 40,320
 * 40,320 X 2 = 80,640
 * 80,640 + 100% = 161,280
 * Enter as follows; "28800 + 460 % ="

This is how percentage growth is listed. If you have a $1,000 investment and get 25% growth, you got $250 of growth. You wouldn't say you got $1,250 of growth because that would be 125% growth (which would be awesome!!). So you always exclude the base when listed growth or bonus amounts as a percentage.
