I don't doubt it. Note Rafael F.'s statement above. He claimed that it took him 30 tries to attempt to beat 5.3.1 and he's at 19/28 on upgrades. In the end, he ended up skpping it as well.

Instead of that, I am at 11/28 on upgrades and spent 25GC to skip 5.3 and I still won the car. I'd much rather be done with the event than to bang my head against the wall for that long and spend that much more just to get the same car in the end. None of the other races required such a high upgrade level, I passed Stage 5 easily after skipping 5.3. So there's little reason to spend the GC (or time) on it in my opinion.
