Good analysis. You are absolutely right. That said, the new rules kind of kill the fun. While I am delighted FM have found a way to get rid of bot-slowers, I am disappointed we are now compelled to upgrade the car with gold at some point to remain competitive. I enjoyed winning the car AND pocketing the gold coins in previous challenges :-) I'd rather use the gold as I see fit. For now, I have already spent the equivalent of the 94 GC prize with two gold upgrades (brakes and tyres) and I am ready to pay more by skipping or upgrading during stages 7 & 8. Eventually, it will still be a bargain given the price of the car. Yet, I am not prepared to pay hundreds of GC each time I am offered to "win" a "free" car. This is called "bait and switch" and I don't like it.
