Actually what you buy in this game makes a huge difference, and we only managed to optimize this on easy difficulty since it's the smallest/non-misc category.
The first item to purchase is gearbox lv 4, on easy difficulty it means you have to get 1st place + secret bonus A + secret bonus C + secret bonus D for the first two races which gives you 480000 money... But is gearbox lv 4 493000, isn't it? Yes, by that you will need to get secret bonus E at least in one of the tracks to reach 500000 and be able to purchase the gearbox item, which gives you an 20s+ advantage on the third track.
The second one is tires lv 4, since this upgrade is less than 340000 money you can manage to buy it 2 races after the gearbox by just finishing 1st place + bonus A and D, but if you can get bonus C or E it will be very helpful for upcoming upgrades purchase.
The third one is engine lv 5, since with gearbox is way faster than with engine, we wait a little bit to actually buy the engine upgrade, it's recommended to be get at Brites (Alderam), that's where the engine was get into the actual strats but somehow if you be able to get lots of bonus Cs by luck, and you get lucky enough for, you can buy engine 5 at Baahen (Alderam).
The forth one is jump upgrade, this is not really something to make you to run faster but you will be able to dogde cars more often. Jump is supposed to be gotten when it comes out at Wruth (Kajam).
The fifth one is boost lv 4, the last upgrade that makes a big difference since it becomes from lv 1 to 4, supposed to be get three races after the engine purchase.
The nexts purchases are not something really that huge of difference so there isn't really right tracks to purchase them. But their order is gearbox lv 5, attractor, tires lv 5, boost lv 5.
After these purchases, your car will be in the ultimate status for the easy difficulty.
But there's one important thing, at the 4 last purchases if you are not earning enought money, it's recommend to you skip attractor or tires lv 5 since boost lv 5 is to be able to be gotten at Ratanev (Naosphein) which is when it comes out.
Feel free tu buy armor upgrades if you need them or just want to "meme", but armor is the only upgrade really "forgetful" since you need to drive without hitting any obstacle and armor will be of no use if you actually do it.
