Free to get, yes. Free to play, no. You pay with your time by farming for gold, watching ads to get faster service, faster upgrades and to get gold, and generally being a "player audience". When the number of players goes down, the revenue from ads declines because a game with audience of 100,000 generates more than with 1,000. At 100,000 we may be just below the economic level of providing "quality control". It's a spiral: less quality leads to less interest, to less revenue, to less quality etc. etc. Nonetheless it's the best racing game out there (that I know of). Its still free so how you try to bend this is wrong. You are free to choose what you want to do with YOUR free time. If you want to play this game it's up to you. If you want to meet your friends on your free time, is that a "pay" too?

The concept is free to play, pay to win. So if you want to win, then maybe you should pay. But playing is still for free. If you play instead of earning money then you can probably consider this a loss of invested time. But I choose to beleive that you do this on your own free time.
