Are you on Android or iOS?

Either way, I think you are far too worried about it. The idea is to surpass the goal by the least amount possible. If you do that, then it will help to slow the bots. I have only paid to skip 1 goal in the last 8 months or so on these Special Events, and that one was due to a drag race which was impossible without spending more on upgrades than the skip cost me. Despite that, I have manged to win every single special event car offered with only R$ upgrades. This includes racing and winning levels such as 3.2 and 3.4 which may require you to win by a larger margin. It has not noticably affected the bots for me. Even still if it had, then I can always work to slow the bots later if necessary.

For instance, on 3.4 (since I just completed it), I spent the 1st two laps holding up bots and spinning them out. Then I let loose on the last lap, I managed to be ahead by almost 500yds so I slowed down and ended up passing the finish line at 252yds ahead (241yds was the goal). I have the 1st round of R$ upgrades currently (PR 73.4) with the 2nd round completing in about 15hrs.

We'll see what happens, but I'd bet you that I still manage to win this car without any GC spent (barring a forced upgrade like the drag race I mentioned above). If you follow the tips and tricks mentioned here (and aren't unlucky enough to be on iOS), these events don't have to be impossible, not in the least.

It's your game and your GC of course, but I see no point in wasting the money to skip honestly.
