Thanks guys!

And you're right Martino.

If I knew 331111 would get me the car in the end in advance with no skipping, I'd pay 100 gold to upgrade the engine and the drivetrain to 3 instead of paying 90 gold in skipping costs. Skipping is basically lost gold and upgrades are there forever and they help you in the career series, multiplayer and WTTT.

Nonetheless, I was too scared even 333333 might not be enough for me to finish the event without skipping since I had to steer the car in Formula E events with my mouse, using the wheel steering scheme because of the manual acceleration requirement. I play RR3 on my laptop in Leapdroid Android Emulator and normally use the buttons controls scheme, which doesn't have a manual accelerator. But in the end I ended up being almost equally good with mouse steering as I kept racing and got better and better in it.

Still, not knowing everything would turn out to be perfectly fine, I thought I'd risk around 20-30 gold only in skipping costs at the beginning instead of risking at least 100 gold in upgrades just in case it becomes clear can't win the Gauntlet. I had the gold to get it to 333333 (I have over 500 gold) but that would get me dangerously low in gold to keep up with oncoming Special Events and Limited Time Series.
