So far has greatly paid off, free Zonda R and can earn a Bugatti. Greatly regretting not winning the 911 (2016) and the Corvette from the same series though. Not spending any gold unless absolutely necessary is my advice to every player. Especially if you're not going to pay real money for gold. Doing the special events usually costs more than enough. Always do the maths. Investing in compulsory upgrades required to win a "free car" at a mega-discount in a Limited Time Series for example. Also, like you say, if you don't need the car and have plenty of other series left to do, wait for it to go on sale. Or plan ahead when you are unlocking cars and decide if you want the car at 20% discount. If it's a money car: buy it. If it's a gold car: check ahead to where it will get you. Which other series will it unlock? You can also play the event to one race before a car unlocks and leave it there. Then you can always decide to grab it for 20% discount later.

The second piece of advice would be to learn how to do RR3 with manual controls and without assists. Do it gradually, one at a time, and if a race is really important, just switch back to your normal preferred setting. You will be so much quicker once you "have the training wheels off" that you will save bombs on upgrades.
