2002 (i.e. Office XP). I can't stand the new versions.
I see you are using xlsm files... might be better to save as a legacy file, if you want others (like me) to be able to use it
Had a quick look, and truth be told, I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. Are the setups supposed to be the stock values? I'm also concerned that having everything in a layout like that could make it unwieldy. If it's just another 13 items of data, there is no reason why it can't be added as columns to the already existing car sheet.
I could also then just add a simple lookup sheet/line, where you select a car, and it fetches the stats for you (although looking through the list isn't that hard right now anyway).
But to answer your original query, I wouldn't personally go to all the trouble with links and separate sheets.

You're right. What I had was the old pre-update amounts. I've confirmed a couple: Suzuka 1000 is 125,400 and Indy 500 is 89,900. I have to confirm the first 3 still, as they may be the old numbers as well.
In any case, the credits for b-spec endurance is ridiculously low, so it's not like it makes a big difference
EDIT: The first 3 b-spec endurances are 54500, 64600, and 76100 credits, respectively.

I've collected about 700 cars. The one thing that is missing here, is the cost of rebuilds and chassis maintenance. I always do both of these, to all cars from the UCD, unless they're from a (1000) gift ticket. Unfortunately, I've only been keeping track of this for maybe the last 100 cars, or so. I'd be more than happy to give what info I have.

The credits needed are close on some cars of the same value but, all too often they are just a hair off and some seem to be based on the manufacturer more than the value of the car. Here's a scaled down file with the info I have.

Very interesting...
I couldn't quite figure out what the exact formula is... there must be some factor to do with the age, or laps or something. Anyways, from the data you provided, I found the average ratio of car price to engine rebuild cost to be about 2.8. The chassis rebuild cost is almost exactly 1.667 times the engine rebuild cost. So, the formulas are as follows:
Engine Rebuild = Cost of Car / 2.8, rounded to the nearest 500 credits. If over 500,000, use 500,000
Chassis Rebuild = Engine Rebuild * 1.6667, rounded to the nearest 500 credits. If Engine Rebuild is 500,000, use 500,000.
This seems to be accurate within about 4,000 credits of the actual. For my purposes, that will be close enough. I can add the formula to my car list to give a rough idea of the repair costs.
Thanks

This matrix is brilliant!!
I did notice, however, that the NASCAR Daytona race is listed at 5 laps, but I believe it should be 10. This will greatly reduce the XP/min value, and may make it considerably less desirable for grinding.
I did finally figure out how to win, so it isn't as painful as it once was, but I don't like the NASCAR races too much.
Thanks

You are right! Thanks for pointing that out. It now becomes a total waste of time and effort (in addition to being a totally ridiculous AI bump fest). Nobody should have to be forced to grind that race!

Word is that the event credits are now back to where they were before the last patch... guess I have some work to do to re-confirm all the events 
There is also some new performance points, which I may have to now include in my file. We'll see tomorrow once the dust has settled

OK, well that answers my question of if you will update 3.5 to reflect 1.06 info

Unfortunately it looks like there might be some editing in the future for this useful item with the new update on the XP.

Thanks, ageha.
I'm guessing the races for grinding will stay the same, and are just proportionally smaller in credits and higher in XP. The championship amount also appears to be the same as before (i.e. the sum of all races - 86600 x 5 = 433000).
Hopefully I can get the major races updated first (i.e. extreme and endurance), as those are the most beneficial.

Original creator of thread should start a new thread or post a list at the start of all A-spec and B-spec races and cross off the ones that have been already supplied with new values by players:
B-spec:
Nurburgring 4-Hour Endurance
WAS: 525,000 CR and 491,416 XP
NOW: 157,500 CR and 682,105 XP
B-spec:
Nurburgring 4-Hour Endurance
WAS: 525,000 CR and 491,416 XP
NOW: 157,500 CR and 682,105 XP

For the new 1.06 patch, I've created a Google Docs sheet that anyone can edit.
Feel free to add the new credit and XP amounts to the list (columns H and I for A-spec, Q and R for B-spec). I've already added the ones from above. I will also paste this link to the first post:

Thanks in advance for the help!
