Exactly.

I very rarely prefer to skip races, but in this case, the net outlay and relative uselessness of the car made it an easy choice.

I spent 10GC to buy the 2nd Body upgrade to pass 3.2 and spent 25GC to skip 5.3. Considering the 25GC you win during the event and the 3GC I won for recompleting Spider Showcase, my net purchase price for the 12C Spider was 7GC. That lets me use the rest of my GC on other cars I still need to buy which can't be had via a Special Event like this.

As for why I don't care if I upgrade the 12C Spider further. I had already completed Spider Showdown (besides, it can be completed with the 918 and only R$ upgrades anyhow), so all I got was 3GC for re-completing that and there's no PR minimum on the model-specific events. The current overtake challenge is only a few days long and there's no PR minimum there either. If it's in the weekly time trial, odds are it won't be the top car and odds are I'll have a better car to use. Finally, if it's in the multiplayer events, I rarely play those due to the rampant cheating and frustration from players just out to ruin your race. If I do however, I don't upgrade cars just for that event, I race whatever I have.
