I think there's definitely some randomness in there somewhere. On a previous gauntlet I had to re-run a section (crash/lost or no save) and was able to get a different set of races - but I can't remember how many races there were before I got different ones (and I could be mis-remembering).

I've certainly had times where I've re-run an autocross or speed snap because I've won it too easily and wanted to reduce the gap. On all those occasions (whether the win was followed by a normal race or a boss race) the next race was always the same.

One possibility (which would be reasonably easy to test if I wasn't just about to go for my last boss) is that the next set of challenges (up to and including the next boss) is set after completing the previous boss. You could test that by re-running the boss race several times to see if you get a different next challenge.

At the other end of the scale is that we simply get a random seed number (for the RNG) when we start and it's not possible to re-run any part to try to generate a new one. But I don't think this is true - it's just not clear exactly where the seed comes from.

Other likely options:
 * when you finish race n it actually generates the race for race n + 2 (already knowing what race n+1 will be)
 * the random number seed is re-generated at the start of each run
 * I have mis-remembered (or FM have subsequently changed) and it is never possible to get a different set

Anyway - the upshot is that it is (at best) not easy to change any challenge without having to re-do a significant portion (ie probably not worth it).
