Consensus was that the cheapest way was to do all R$ upgrades and skip 9.3.

However, if you'd prefer to spend more GC and upgrade to beat 9.3, then there will be a number of ways for you to go about that.

I'm personally not a fan of skipping events when at all possible. But, if the difference is 100+GC (as it seems may be the case here), then skipping seems a prudent option. Particularly when, for me, I already own the car and it's not the recomended car to complete either series it's in. So, I see no need to spend 200+GCs on upgrades to get the 100GC bonus when I can skip 1 race for 45GC and get 100GC back and be GC-positive for this event.
