Congrats to the OP for winning the car.

I also finished the R&D today, and encountered the same issues as the OP, with a MAX/PRO configuration.

Test 42 was the hardest one for me, as I had trouble knocking down the cars and doing perfect runs, before the timer was elapsed. I had to pay 45 tokens each time to save my progress.

Test 47 was not too difficult. Just stay in drift mode, except  if the next gate is far away, in which case you should do 1 or 2 perfect nitro. Once you've reached 10k points and drifted 5000m, just do a series of perfect nitro / break / perfect nitro / break / .... to get the points for the 1st subgoal.

Test 48 was a breeze with a MAX/PRO config. You only have to be extra careful in the caves, the rest of the driving being pretty straightforward.

Test 50 wasn't easy. The first 3 tries I kept on hitting the curbs, and because of that, my car was bouncing everywhere like a bunny, losing a lot of speed in the process. On my 4th try, I mostly stayed away from the curbs. In the hard turns, I did some micro drifts (drift, nitro, drift), so as not to hit the walls (drift early if necessary). AI will make a mistake in the 2nd turn of the S turn, and micro drifting will help you get the lead, if it isn't the case already.
