I agree that upgrading should always be done over skipping challenges.

however, with the way this gauntlet is set up combined with the fact that formula-e limits your speed greatly when you lack upgrades, I'd say this one is an excemption - especially for those of us who don't have much time to play.

just look at the post above (finish with R$ only as well) - he had to do over 200 challenges just to win. if he had spent the gold to skip challenges and did high-paying races with the remaining time he had, its possible he would have gained back the gold spent on skipping while also gaining millions of R$s.

the extra R$s is not even the best part - the fact that you simply skipped boss challenges and had to do far less challenges means A LOT less frustration.
