Actually it seems to be an even worse money grabbing scheme: I already was at PR 47,1 with 18/31 upgrades (3332322) when I started this flashback event, end yet I still don't have the slightest chance to win 5.4, even though I've done thorough bot control on all previous races. In fact FM seems to calculate the speed of the opponent cars so that in order to win this race you'll still have to upgrade your car regardless of how much you already had upgraded it before.

The ironic thing is that in my case this even messed up the race result table that's shown after the race, as it says Magnus - Rusty - Ahmed - myself (DNF), when the real result was in fact Rusty - myself - Ahmed - Magnus, with Rusty leading with a good two car lenghts at the finish.
