Hmm, you know, now that you mention it I think I may have run into that as well.

I don't recall exactly what I did on 5.1, but I know that around 5.1/5.2 I added a few more GC upgrades (plus had a few R$ upgrades finish up), so my PR may have been at or above recommended PR when I completed 5.1. I recall having troubles with 5.1, so it's entirely possible that I either added a GC upgrade, or used ads to speed up an existing R$ upgrade in R&D, in order to give me some additional oomph to get past 5.1. That would make sense, and seem to line up with your experience as well. I know that 5.1 and 5.2 were the only problematic races I had for Stage 5, so all my upgrades were completed (or at least purchased, in the case of R$ upgrades) before I completed 5.2, and I finished out with 3333333, PR 67.9.

You're right though, this would appear to be exactly the sort of thing FM would do. Still, a change in the description for 5.1 would have been nice. Plus, it wouldn't have so blatantly given away their intentions there as well.
