Your calculation is wrong... ;D

You got a car as costly as 700GC + updates worth 450 GC => 1150GC but paid 450CG and earned 100GC and some GC from fame maybe and 39 GC from the series => ~310 GC paid in total => net gain (!) 840 GC in shape of a car... ;P

Yeah, I know and I feel kind the same. It was a really a great LTS until I got to day 7. Every day there were 3 to 5 races and NOT 11 disguised as 5 (win this 3 short races there and that 3 races there like in the N430 flashback). The goals were like what you would expect from a racer (drive fast, drive exact, watch out for your car,...).

But then there was 7.2 ! Until day 5 I was upgrade free, then for a speed record I had to upgrade to R$ only and that was fine. When I didn't skid off track or hit other cars I came as low as 1:44.152 a few times. But even upgrading to 3332343 brought me only ......... 1:44.154 and with 3334343 I earned a ........ 1:44.174. Yeah!! Just great!! And I had to become 1st since the bots were soooooo slow

But most frustrating: Once I managed 1:44.768 and had an average of 209kph (green). But with 1:44:152 it was just 207 or 208! How can this be? Is it the average depending on my line? So taking a corner wide will lower the average because of the longer way and cutting corners will incease the average? Somehow after 6 hours trying because I had not enogh gold to skip I came through and managed a 1:42. Still not very satisfying.

Then there was 8.2. I had a bit of horror after reading the comments but it was easy. Not like 8.3: after maybe 15 runs I found out I had to slow the bots. Then suddenly I could run through the "middle lane" and the car I used to crash into on the right lane short before the paved part off-track to the right at the end of starting straight was on the left side too. Thus I could pass easily, reach 276, crash --  eehm -- brake into the fifth car, overtake the fourth without going off-track and overtake cars 1 to 3 in the corkscrew corners. Peace of cake! ;D

So if not for 7.2 and 8.3 it would have been a really fine event and I would not feel so robbed of 250 CG by FM as I feel now...
