Another factor is there can only be so many flashbacks :)  They are to the point where they would be rerunning events from a bit over a year ago and then stuff within the last year.  They may want to space out the cycle more.  Also consider that, constant griping here aside, 3/4 new cars this release are actually quite a good value in terms of gold/PR (for upgrades).  In fact, they are the best to be introduced in well over a year, excepting the original R3 Spec cars.  Lastly, no doubt many monkeys take time off during the holidays as well, and so they want fewer things to monitor/have to fix during that period. I agree with your additional points.  I had forgotten that Flashbacks had basically caught up with when I started playing ~18 months ago, and your idea of spacing very probably also has something to do with it.  I wonder if they will start running old Gauntlets again - I know many are sceptical of this, but just a thought.

I also think that this was a very good release in terms of new content, perhaps excepting the hugely expensive LaFerrari Exclusive Series. This and the other SE actually added a lot of gold to the 100% goal. Not complaining, just mentioning. In fact, if I discount the cars and upgrades I bought in the sales, this release is already gold positive for me.
