While the strategy (of skipping) may not be the best (investing in an upgrade has payback in the long term) there is no guarantee that a single upgrade will get you past a goal. For those who do not have deep GC pockets the skip can sometimes be the better choice. Choosing which to do can be a finely balanced decision.

Having started this game when you could 'win' a car without putting upgrades into it (my Weissach is still factory sepc, i.e. no upgrades), I have to admit it has been a struggle to embrace the new norm where not only upgrades are required, but GC ones. However now that I accept this, it is much easier to justify the upgrades over skipping.
