I understand your point, however, I can see the other side of the argument too, as I'm one of the ones that's skipped a couple of bosses. As well as the upgrade cost, there's the time spent repeating low value challenges to consider. My job means I was well behind during the week and needed about 100k points over yesterday and today - I've run out of Free Videos for refilling tickets today already...(Reset Google Ad ID and re-booted device, videos restored - check!)

It's cost me about 34 Gold so far. I don't believe there is one upgrade for that cost that would  improve  the performance of the car to the extent I would need to make a difference to the 'tailgating' boss challenges - I can win most of the others comfortably at lower levels. I'm quite happy to end my run and start again if I feel like I've had a fair crack of the whip. But when the goal is tailgating the leader, I can't get closer than 5th or 6th, so I would estimate 4 or 5 upgrades from my current R$ only upgrades status would be required - c100 Gold or more???

As with many others, I didn't get the car for free before the event and don't want 100% completion, just all the cars in my garage, and I'm very nearly there. My tactic has been to keep my Gold for upgrades to cars that give me career progression purely to acquire new cars in later series. By contrast, I HAVE fully upgraded the Lambo LP560-4 (19 Gold) as there's a return on investment to be had there with its Exclusive Series and that's made the intermediate challenges easier.

As the old cliche goes, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks...
