I was able to beat 5.4 with 17 upgrades (Same as Michael P above, except I'm at T&W-1). I was able to win by a hair by nudging Magnus enough to slow him up at the end. I was fully expecting to have to buy the T&W-2 upgrade as well to match what Michael P stated, but I tried it out without and was able to win on my 2nd try.

Hopefully this is the last GC required level and we can finish out day 7 without spending more GC. I'm not a fan of this method. I'm accepting it for this car because it's relatively cheap, but I fear being forced to buy multiple 80-100GC upgrades for more expensive cars down the road. At that point, it will really stop being a way for amateur racers to win good cars since any of them won't have the GC readily available to perform the required upgrades. That would be a shame. Events like thsi are what have helped me to get where I am now.
