There's no way GC is going anywhere. It's the bottleneck of the game and there's no reason FM would give that up. I'd bet most of the IAPs made are for GC as it's such a mandatory piece of the game.

As far as R$, I don't see it going anywhere either mainly because of how it differs from the newly-introduced M$. R$ still has a place in the game since M$ is only utilized for F1 content (currently, and maybe permanently?).

M$ was purely introduced, I presume, to appease F1 and allow FM access to the F1 content. As others have hypothesized, it's likely that FM had to prove to the F1 overlords that X percentage of players would be playing the F1 content for X amount of time daily, to ensure maximum exposure. By creating a new currency, only for that new content, plus restricting how much could be earned in a given day, it means that players are forced to play the F1 content daily to keep up. This keeps the content from getting stale (except for us players), by requiring daily interaction to continue to advance.

It's not unlike the daily rewards we see in the game as well, but those at least just require a daily check-in, not a specific amount of daily play (except for the Bonus R$ and Fame days if you want maximum benefit).

Overall though, I don;t see R$ and GC going anywhere for the lifetime of RR3. Additionally, I'm not mad about the addition of F1 and M$ to the game (so far). I had concerns initially, but after seeing the economics of it, I am much more at ease. While it does add some time to my daily play requirements, it's manageable and I'm not mad if I miss the target on a day or 2. The prices for upgrades are fairly reasonable and I can see myself fully upgrading all of the currently available F1 cars over time. Not something I can say for most of the other cars in the game, the time and expense involved for that is significantly greater.
