Off to a slow start today... I seem to be gettin' heavy in to the sleepin' lately. And then I've been spending quite a bit of time working on catching my spreadsheets up after the fiasco. I need to be a bit more frequent with my backups it appears.
But even worse than restoring the missing spreadsheets is restoring the missing times. I am faced with running the same cars thu the WC season for a second time. That is the one that hurts. I could run them thru the leaderboard - that would save some time, but I am more of less committed to recording times from the races only.
Best I have been able to come up with so far is alternate - new car/old car. And, only run the old cars thru one heat unless there is a massive f*up.
I topped out the Drivers Level - again. That's twice in a little more than 3 months. Along with that I have amassed around 12 million Affinity Xp points. That is enough for 4 level 50's even tho I've only run one out to the top (Pontiac in the Cheeze account).
Even tho I was somewhat prepared for it this time, I'm still somewhat taken aback by the drastic change in income once the Drivers Level is maxed out. I started tracking the winnings vs winnings + bonii. For the last few weeks it was running at about 450%. Now it's around 165%, depending on where you're at with the race car's affinity. Things get plumb-assed sparse around level 19 until level 25.
So now, racing wise - my project is total Affinity. That is one number that appears to persist - for a while at least. It depends on how many cars you race after having hit level 50. Racing only the WC events, leveling up is really not all that hard. For instance, one pass through the B class WC will generate 394,000 Affinity points. With only 2,642,500 required to hit level 50, you can hit it with 6 or 7 B class seasons. Getting the Hyundai to level 27 only took 4 seasons - F, D, C, and B.
Tearing down the GICheeze account means moving all the D and C class FSRA stuff is moving to the Blooze account. That coupled with my Hot Hatch and FTCC plans in C and B classes it appears I could spend about a year getting all the cars planned, built and run. I trimmed the Muscle car herd somewhat by limiting the number of Mopar cars - most of them don't interest me anyways.
Now that I am sitting on 91 Million credits with no place to spend it, I sort of wish I hadn't tokenized so many cars at start up. The Token cars
really have no value other than appearing in your garage and inflating its value. You can't sell them or give them away. Maybe one of my projects will become replacing Token bought cars with Credit bought cars...
As soon as I'm sure I've collected all the goodies - toons, designs, and vinyls and such - from the 'Cheeze profile, I plan on deleting the save and starting over - Choose some different cars and make some more level-up money - send it all the Blooze account...
I feel like a soup and sam'ich lunch today... guess I best get to it. Just thinkin' "I want a sam'ich" doesn't seem to get it done.
