Sorry Brian. I didn't see your response until just now. How did I do it? By learning the track and knowing when to slow down and when to hit the gas. Learning how to use a power slide to your advantage so you can get around switch backs for example without spinning out.
Another thing. Don't expect your "upgraded" cars to be much better than your entry level vehicles. They are not. The only difference is that you can now use them in unlocked races. Well, unless you count fuzzy dice as an upgrade. ;)
After you really get to know the track and the vehicle you prefer to use including shift intervals and areas you know will get you into trouble if your going too fast or losing as much as two seconds because you brake too hard. Yes, it can be that touchy. Then get to tweaking your ride.
I'll quote myself from another forum on the tweaking thing:

Wheels spinning too much? You should reduce the differential as far to the weak side as you can tolerate. Try to learn to compensate for the extra wheel spin as much as possible so you don't want to take too much power away. Conversely, too much power makes you lose traction and sit there with the wheels spinning.
Much of the settings have to be experimented with as each persons habits differ. I think it's half the fun. Not just learning the nuances of each track but how different cars react to different tracks and vehicle settings. It is a bit of a learning curve but it's worth it imo. Most just use the default settings and auto transmission. Go online if you want to feel better about your skilz.
