At least for this year's NASCAR event, they made the cars cheaper and the upgrades cheaper as well.

So, to complete the 4 new career series events (1 for each car won), it costs 431GC to upgrade each car to the minimum PR required.

By comparison, last year's cars required 722GC per car to get to 100% in each of their career events.

So, the negative return is not quite as bad, but it still exists. Granted, it does for most series in this game. There are very few ways that you'll be ahead in the GC game, it is what it is. That's why I like events like this where I can win some of the cars by spending no GC at all. At least that's a savings to me in the long run, despite the fact that these cars will need further upgrades if I wish to get to 100% in all series events. But, I figure I can chip away at those as I go, obtaining the cars is step 1.
