I approach all of these special win-a-car events on the basis that to subsequeuntly have to buy the car would probably cost me more than the Gold it costs to upgrade it so I always try to start the challenges with 300-400 Gold as I did SpeeRush Season 3. I immediately applied all R$ upgrades and subsequent Gold-only upgrades, thought WTF and even did the final few Gold-only and R$ upgrades including the final engine R$ upgrade which took 2 days! I spent about 240 Gold and probably a couple million R$ ... but the car was fast.

I sailed through most of the challenges, the only ones I can remember being difficult/awkward were day-4's "win AND smash 6 cars or lap one car" event and day-5's "don't exceed 150mph" event which I kept screwing up by exceeding 150mph as I ran for the finish line!

The drag race was easy enough, I didn't get brilliant launches but still won it first time. Their average times were 9.7-9.8 seconds whereas I was down in the 9.4 second range.

I used a few Gold on the service manager, on nearly every event except the Speed Snap and Autocross ... I made the mistake of using a Gold on the "sprint to the line" event as I thought it was going to be one complete lap but it was rather disappointingly and anticlimatically just a sprint from the corner onto the oval to the finish line, took maybe 15-20 seconds!

Anyway, the whole final day took about half-an-hour and I didn't skip any events ... so it might (have been) better to use Gold to upgrade the car rather than skip events.

Enjoy the McLaren and good luck on the next challenge.
