Okay, let's start from progression-related tips.
1) Trade unneeded speed cards in instead of selling them. The payout for selling speed cards is not too high, and once you reach high rating on your car (especially the 399 rating), tokens will become way more important than cash, as rolling for cards with tokens is the fastest and most reliable way to get speed cards with right perks/brand.
2) Don't focus on too many builds at once if you're short on cash - Generally, cash-wise the smartest idea is to do the following: Get your starter car as close to its max level (299) as possible, and once you progress far enough to unlock cars with 399 max level, buy one for each class and stick with it all the way up to 399.
3) Take the suggested car level in race description with a grain of salt - In most of cases, you can win just fine with a car that has rating 30-50 points lower than the recommended one. I'd say that you need to be the closest to recommended rating in late Race car races. Drag can be a bit tricky too, but it's doable. When it comes to drift, you can manage just fine with whatever starter car you have regardless of level - the only thing you really should care about with singleplayer drift build is nitrous. Sure, once you complete the game you should upgrade the cars to fight for better times/results, but in terms of SP races alone you don't need to trust recommended level too much.
4) If you want to upgrade your car fast, I recommend doing the following (it requires a bit of cash and tokens though):
Now, for other things:
1) Regardless of the car you own (although this tip is especially important for the Regera), make sure that your final build has nitrous maxed out. Nitrous is critical for your end result - it will let you get out of chaos at the start faster, lets you get your speed back faster if you crash and is pivotal for accelerating out of turns.
2) In terms of live tuning, always prioritize settings that will improve your speed, acceleration and car's reaction to turns. It doesn't make any car significantly more difficult to handle, and at the same time it helps you gain at least a couple of seconds during the race.
3) On Regeras, if you really want to beat one online and you don't have one yourself, vote for tracks with a lot of turns (if there is one thing Regera struggles with, it's acceleration) and try to get physical at the early stages of the race - if you have a 399 build, you're practically guaranteed to overtake the Regera at the start. When it tries to work its way back to the front, bodyslam it - that's the best chance you will get, and Regera is one of easier cars to knock out.

I'd like to offer a wrap editor tip.
How to make realistic carbon fiber effects:
1) Start by covering the desired area in solid black. This gives the subsequent carbon fiber layer sufficient contrast.
2) Add a carbon fiber texture square and adjust it to the proper scale. If you are doing a large area such as a hood or roof, do not simply make the carbon fiber square big enough to cover the whole area, otherwise the weave pattern will be too large to be realistic.
3) Once the square is sized correctly, copy and paste it multiple times to cover the desired area. Be careful to align the edges just right so that the seams can't be seen.
4) Cover the area once again with a solid black square (or whatever shape) on TOP of the carbon fiber layer.
5) Adjust the transparency of the top black layer to allow the carbon weave to show through.
6) Adjust the Metallic and Smoothness effects of the top black layer to achieve the desired sheen, whether you want a wet carbon fiber or dry carbon fiber look.
Here's an example of the finished look (Remember to right-click and choose "view image" to see it larger):

1) Drifting: I haven't found a good sweet spot on how to use the handbrake so I tend to stick with lightly tapping the brakes while going into a drift a corner or when trying to change directions of the drift. I also tend to stick with RWD cars for my drifting, putting all the weight in the front, using the "more" side of drift angle or control in live tuning.
2) I didn't start to spend money until the 200 build mark. That's when cards from winning events were no longer boosting my vehicles enough to compete with other drivers.
3) Only use equip with the jump stat on your off-road vehicle or unless its still your best option
4) once equip levels are near maxed out focus on what brand perks work out best. Outlaw and Chidori tend to be great paired together or by themselves. Outlaw = Speed/Nitrous perks, Chidori = Acceleration/Brakes perks
