You should be able to easily win the car with 355GC. However you will need to buy all the R$ upgrades as well, which will cost R$1,145,400. Plus, there are R$ upgrades that follow some of the GC upgrades, which are handy to have as well (though, they get more expensive). In my opinion, the R$ spent on this car is really the issue, not so much the GC, especially for newer players.

Not sure how your R$ stash is in relation to your GC, but in order to spend the GC on upgrades, you'll need to buy all the initially available R$ upgrades.

Admittedly, FM has made it tougher for newer players to win these vehicles (with the need for GC upgrades and the more expensive R$ upgrades), but it's not impossible. I was there once as well, when the Road to Le Mans Special Event was first released, I was still a new player and I managed to win the Porsche 919 in the event despite not having a large stash of R$ or GC. I recall having to farm (as best I could with my limited completion percentage), and it was a grind for sure. I made it through though.

Best of Luck!
