While it is quite possible to work your way through Legend just by earning and spending in-game gold and still have fun, it is important to remember this is a "Free-to-play, pay-to-win" type of game (or "Freemium"). They give us a hell of a lot of content for free (licensed content too, real cars and real tracks, which is not cheap to do for them), so there has to be a point where you have to start paying to progress. Getting all the way to Legend is a large proportion of the game, but saying that, it is more than doable to complete it without spending a penny of real money, and in my view only people who have more money than sense spend hundreds of dollars to buy cars in a mobile game!

The bigger problem is the way FM treat their customer base in terms of customer support, and the absolute comedy of errors that has been the last couple of updates. They have real problems with QA at the moment, but it's still amazing what content they are giving away for free (or advert views).

In short, once you get to Legend the fun is not so much in the racing, but in the financial management of GC. A shift from racing game to management game, which can be fun (up to a point!)
