As I've already written above, I fully upgraded the car on the basis that it costs less to fully upgrade and win it than subsequeuntly buying it! The drag race opponents all completed the event in 9.7-9.8 seconds. I didn't get brilliant launches and my gear-changes weren't perfect but I still achieved times of 9.4 seconds. My recommendation for all of these events is acquire 300-400 Gold beforehand (farming once a day on the Le Mans 10-lappers is the easiest/cheapest way of doing this) and then upgrade the car as quickly as possible. This is the first time I've fully upgraded a challenge car, I usually do about 60-70% of the upgrades as the Gold-only upgrades become ridiculously expensive (e.g. on the NASCAR challenges I won all of the cars but none of them have more than 17/27 upgrades. But in this case, having read that the final engine upgrade was available for R$, I decided to go for it. The upgrades cost me about 240 Gold and a couple million R$ (but then I have loads of R$ and nothing much else to do with them!) and I continued farming during this challenge and so still have 240 Gold. If the next challenge is in 4-6 weeks I should be able to quite easily build that back upto about 600 Gold by logging in for the daily bonuses (about 100 Gold in January) and farming once a day.
