I think I have figured out why the difficulty increases with every run, its actually obvious when you think about it.

The boss difficulty is related to your ranking that you get as you move through the rankings, everytime you go up a rank the boss difficulty increases, ie has a higher PR.

This is why it seems that you can't get as far on a second run with a car on the same number of upgrades, your racing a better car. Upgrading neutralises this effect.

This is really no different to a normal series or special event, the further you go, the harder it gets. Just FM lead you to believe all things will be equal second time around when it's not.

For reference, I have worked this out by comparing my game where I am going to fully upgrade, to my young son's game who has no $R or GC. I thought I could get him a car without too much effort but I won't be able to do it. I have got him to 100000 points and I can only beat the first boss now with no upgrades on the car. It got harder as I moved him through the rankings.
