I'm amazed at the amount of posts in such a short time on this subject. Here is my tuppence worth (and I think it's worth less than that):
 * The only people directly impacted will be those with gold reserves that they haven't spent on upgrading cars for WTTT because they were renting upgrades
 * People with lots of upgrade cars or gold to upgrade permanently will not be harmed (the rich 1%ers)
 * Your garage upgrade vs others upgrade state and your skill level relative to others will determine your ranking
 * Participation may go up because people see a better opportunity
 * Participation may go down because people aren't getting the gold they need

The only thing I can predict for sure is that those cheaters that know how to modify the performance of their vehicle beyond the normal upgrade path will now just hack the parameters of their vehicle performance to maximum upgrades (without adding the upgrades) and get into the gold positions much easier without being detected. That's a fail for FM from my point of view.
