Simple math


 * The OP has 43 GC

There is a reason many people recommend getting F40.
 * You need around 800 GC do the 8-lap Suzuka with F14T. The race gives 10,600 fame, which is #16 on RR3 Wiki:Most Profitable Races
 * You need 10 GC to upgrade F40 (and 128 GC to buy F50 at showcase discount) to do the 4-lap 24H race. The race gives 15,200 fame, which is #8 on the same list.
 * You don't need GC to do the 12 lap Daytona in NASCAR All-Star. The races gives only 7,300 fame, which is #25 on the list.

I quit the game around the time of v2.6 (late 2014) and re-started playing with v4.3.1 (May 2016). I didn't win the guantlet because I didn't understood how the game worked, but I won every special event ever since. The difference: I had over 1K GC when I restarted the game. 1K GC is a magic number. If you don't have 1K gold, everything is hard. If you have 1K, things suddently get easier. I think hitting 1K gold should take priority over everything else.
