This car cost 250 GC to buy + 310 GC to FU. So spending ~200 GC to win is expensive (for reference, I won with 3353333 with 152GC spent). If FM valued this car at 500 GC with 800 GC to FU, spending 200 GC in upgrades to win becomes cheap. It's all relative. Virtual car, might drive differently, but most likely driven on the 1 or 2 series it might be needed, then in the garage unused.

Perhaps, players need to decide how much GC they are willing to spend to get a new car, regardless of the model and what FM might value them. If you manage to spend less to win, great, if you might spend more, then maybe dont participate and save for another that you might like.
