If you don't like cars that cost Gold, then get ready to be really disappointed as you continue on in the game. Almost half of the cars in the game cost Gold, and many of them are somewhat expensive. I did a quick check and 83 of the 143 cars in the game currently can be bought with R$, the rest (60) can be bought only with Gold.

As you get higher and higher in the game, most of the cars cost Gold and many of the upgrades require Gold as well. Gold becomes the bottleneck (and annoyingly so).

In fact, this is why they offer these more expensive cars in the Special Events. Since they are more difficult to obtain, that makes for a good prize. I, as a Level 163 racer, who has 132 of the 143 cars currently, really appreciate being able to win a car that would cost me 850GC otherwise. The first Special Even I ever played in was the first one offered (Road to Le Mans) which allowed me to win a car that cost 950GC, as a still fairly new player. That was a big help to my fledgling career at that point. I now have millions of R$, but GC is a struggle to collect when every car I have to buy costs 500-1000GC. I have few places to spend R$, but plenty of places to spend GC.

Thanks to this event (and the tips and tricks I learned here), I was able to get this car for 0GC  and I can save up my GC for another car instead.

If this isn't what you want, then I agree with some of the above comments, and suggest you start to look for another racing game. This one will increasingly disappoint you if you aren't willing to go along with their GC-biased market as you climb to higher and higher levels.
