Hypothesis: I think that alot of people saw the cost for these cars to upgrade and said "no". Without a fully or mostly-upgraded car, it's impossible to set a good time in Formula-E at Hong Kong. Not everybody rents upgrades. I think many players are saying "I don't need R$. If I'm not going to win gold, it's not worth my time."

Realistically, unless you are new and need the R$, there is no difference between finishing at the top of group D or in last place overall. Either way, gold gained = zero.
