With respect to a Sirebel I disagree about adding more upgrades rather than skipping (in moderation). I upgraded to 333333 for PR 48 but it would have cost another 490 Gold to fully upgrade. I usually fully upgrade but, having experienced a few of the (already difficult) earlier bosses AND wanting to hold back some Gold for next week (another 750 Gold challenge car), I decided to hold back and see how I got on. I managed two 55,000(ish) point fund until I FAILED at the Hong Kong 3-lap boss race both times. I then managed a long run (without a 3-lap HK race boss) besting bosses at Hovkenheim, Laguna Seca, Dubai, Brands Hatvh etc until I encountered the ridiculous "no off-track, no skidding, no collisions" 3-lap race at Melbourne at which point it would cost me 35 Gold to bank 40,000 points which I decided was better than starting again. I then got the same boss race for another 45,000 points for 40 Gold which I also decided to pay. Less than 5,000 points to finish, I restarted and completed it at the first boss level. Cost 75 Gold, rewards 75 Gold, 490 Gold saved for next week. I can always upgrade the car if/when it becomes necessary (it already is as I have now completed all the available races and need PR 49 for the next race!) and maybe there will be an upgrades sale. Good luck.
