For the record, using the 225GC figure above for skipping events that would require GC upgrades. All the 1st level GC upgrades cost 230GC. These, combined with any follow-up R$ upgrades available, got me to PR62.9 and I was able to win at that level. I probably could have gotten by with fewer R$ upgrades if needed, but I have the R$ available, so I bought them.

So, it's nearly the same price if you choose to skip or choose to upgrade GC-wise. But, at least with the upgrades, you get to keep them on the car. If you skip levels, that's just GC thrown away essentially.
