I've just finished stage 3, only 7 (R$ only) upgrades. Event 5 was the tricky one, I tried with a broken car, I could catch the 1st place car, but ran out of fuel on the last lap :-( After a repair I did it quite easily :-)

My method was to drive as fast as possible, until I could reach 1st place. Then coast / fuel save, by going flat out down the straights but lift long before the bends, trying not to break. Each time a car tried to overtake, I spun them as they passed, by swiping their tail. After the top cars had been spun out a few times I could easily maintain a lead. I could save lots of fuel, especially when I reached lapped cars, I could coast around the outside of bends, while they parked on the inside of the corners. The bots AI is awful when passing slower cars too. I finished with 9 fuel remaining.
