Yes, it definitely is a rich man's club. I finally managed to stay in group B last week, and am now at the top edge of group D after the first two timed laps on the Nissan LMP as it was (L1 upgrades mostly and a couple of L2). As I am quite gold-rich (2.4K GC this morning) I can afford to upgrade the car further and will certainly make it into goup C, hopefully group B again depending on how far I go with the upgrades and how lucky I am deploying my skills (certainly limited compared to the top cats) at the top of Mt. Panorama. I may also find a couple of tenths more in Spa, where I'm a full 4 seconds down the order despite being in group B of that TT (top 5%). But yeah, having a pocket full of gold to first of all have the cars is necessary. And the trouble is, as the weeks go by, those of us who make it to groups C and B, let alone those who consistently place in A group, will have more gold, whereas all others will at best accumulate R$.

The ever, self-fulfilling, widening wealth gap; who said that RR3 doesn't mimick real life?
