180SX race in challenge

This car clearly does not have the power to win this race without a lot of luck. I am constantly getting blocked and crashed into by the other two cars so first you have to navigate through the garbage and then you just don't have the horse power to over take Slayers car. I can't even try to drive a a good line because I have to adjust to get by the cars that I can over take. On top of it, they pick the race track where driving a good line is most important.
Is this one of those pay 80 gold to get through races
