If you are just starting: You don't need to max upgrade all cars. Even if you did, that's ok as you haven't spent much. Keep on playing. Only upgrade cars to the level required to enter the race. Some recommend going to 75% completion but I am aiming for 100%. 75 is also good and you can always return to it later. Currently (8-2015) there are few ways to earn gold coins: watching ads, daily bonuses, series completion and leveling up. In the past there were few programming features that allowed early players to save a little (few thousand) gold a bit faster than now, those features are gone now. This is an evolving game, and new features may appear as did the current daily bonuses. Once I even got a 50 coins welcome back in the current version. The game easily adapts to your driving style and skill. Rather than maxing out car upgrades, adjust brake settings, then traction setting. You will drive faster and win more with fewer upgrades. Also play offline. Also retry the race as game adjusts difficulty when it sees you can't win few times in a row. They don't want you to leave as the number of people spending time in the game affects the market value of their corporation (very slightly). Start trying to drive without assists and if after ten races you cant manage, slowly add one by one. This little time learning how to drive will save you hundreds of hours driving later. Learning to brake is the most important. Brake early.
