I fired it up late last night and took 2 turns at Sarthe over the reset.

4* = $30K
6* (PARTS!) = Stroke S upgrade for the S-FR, a second copy no less. Yea, that made me feel like I’d had a stroke alright…

Note - Part 1 of the log for the Plus account is over here.

I haven't really been tracking the roulettes on my GTP account, but I have been on my Plus account, where I started on 4/20 to take advantage of the pre-order bonus, the extra 1 million credits for the 1.08/1.09 lockdown and the auto-invites for those disappearing early. Let's see if we can find a pattern:

Of the 96 tickets (18 1-star/4 guaranteed via the cafe, 11 2-star/2 guaranteed, 25 3-star/4 guaranteed, 33 4-star/7 guaranted, 2 5-star/none guaranteed and 7 6-star/4 guaranteed) on the Plus account as of 7/13/2022 (no jubilee here):
  • 65 have been the low-cash prize (when at least 2 cash prizes were available)
  • 4 have been the 2nd-smallest cash prize (when at least 3 cash prizes were available)
  • 2 have been the 3rd-smallest cash prize (when at least 4 cash prizes were available)
  • 3 have been the big-cash prize
  • 7 have been for cars
  • 6 have been for common parts (including 2 completely worthless parts for which better versions can be bought)
  • 2 have been for special parts
  • 2 have been for engines (including 1 guaranteed)
  • 5 have been for invites (3 extending active invites)
Of the 74 cash prizes:
  • 6 have been for 2,000 Cr.
  • 23 have been for 5,000 Cr.
  • 26 have been for 10,000 Cr.
  • 9 have been for 30,000 Cr.
  • 5 have been for 100,000 Cr. (including one on a 1-star ticket and one on a 3-star ticket)
  • 2 have been for 500,000 Cr.
  • 3 have been for 1,000,000 Cr.

Average cash is 70,000. Or you could run Nissan GT-R cup, Dragon Trail with CRB is 75,000 for 5 laps in 9 minutes.

They really shouldn't "play up" the whole roulette thing because its really not much.
 
I had the following for the last two days below.
July 12; 4-star ticket; Racing Crank Shaft compatible with the Aston Martin DB11
July 13; 3-star ticket; Subaru BRZ S '15

Given that particular race only yields about 460,000 Cr./hour, and that there is only one Wheel of Despair ticket per day once one plows through the 22 menu book items that give tickets, it's not at all impressive. I'd rather do the Sardegna WTC 800, which a lightly-modified Tomahawk S can do in under 26 minutes, for 727,500 Cr. (with the hard-to-lose clean race bonus), or the other 3 1.5 million/hour races.

If one factors in the non-cash prizes from the Wheels of Despair, the average reward goes down from (fractions over) 69,689 Cr. per cash-awarding spin to (fractions under) 53,719 Cr. per overall spin. It likely will get worse.

Per @ddm, the odds of getting a higher-star workout/marathon ticket once one hits collector level 15, and especially once one hits collector level 20 (which I have long passed) improved somewhat with the release of 1.18. However, the odds of pulling a 6-star that isn't an engine-only or a parts-only ticket appear to have dropped from 2% to 1%, though nobody knows what the odds of getting each variety of 6-star ticket is. For example, I haven't received either special 6-star ticket on the Plus account from the daily marathon (and 1 normal 6-star there since 1.17 showed up), while 2 of the 3 6-star tickets I received on the GTP account from the daily marathon since 1.17 have been parts tickets (the 3rd was a normal one).

Using the 1.15 odds, the expected average per-cash awarding spin prize was (just over) 38,543 Cr. The expected average per-spin cash award was 28,599 Cr.

If the odds of getting a non-engine/non-parts 6-star ticket are still the 2% it was in 1.15, the expected average per-cash awarding spin prize in 1.18 is (just short of) 65,536 Cr., with the expected average per-spin cash award at 40,501 Cr. If it is only 1%, the expected average per-cash awarding spin prize is (just over) 59,642 Cr. and the expected average per-spin reward is 36,501 Cr.

Which of the tunes do you think is the best?
I have 3 separate tunes that I modified for my preferences, Sardegna, Tokyo and Sarthe. Pretty sure I have a Spa one, but haven’t actually completed the race with it yet, just test laps (which have proven viable). Go Here.

I realize there are much higher payouts for much longer races, I was just comparing ticket prize to race prize, i.e., how much time does a quick 70k cost. I have a sheet with all race prizes and times (wip) for quick reference on cr./hr so which races earn more aren't what I was comparing there.

I like the 'wheel of despair' reference

Main:-6Star Parts = Special Car Part
GTP:-3Star = 10k
US:-6Star Parts = Car Part
Aussie:-4Star = 10k

These 6Star Part tickets are a new troll ticket, they should be special parts only and even then most rewards would still be useless. :embarrassed:The one on my US account gave me Carbon Brakes, they are 10k to buy, a 6Star ticket shouldn't give something so worthless. :banghead:
