I don't know, it seems like the psychology with these unwinnable R&Ds here is all wrong. I remember when the R&Ds first came out, you could get into the middle of the last lab with some challenge and patience, then the last 5-6 races were the most challenging.

Since you had an expectation you could actually win, when you get close, it seems to me that more people would be motivated to use their tokens, or,  spend a bit of money to get through those last few races, cause they've put in so much time and effort to get there they want to get "rewarded" by getting the car, cause nobody wants to put that much time in it without getting something.

Now, requiring over 3K tokens to **just get into lab 4*** tells me, just as a player, I have no chance of winning it...at all, not even close. So I'm not really motivated to spend anything...only motivated to get as far as I can, get as many credits and tokens as I can...and just wait for the next unwinnable R&D. Eventually after 3 or 4 I get enough tokens to be selective of where I spend 'em and they do a hard push to get the car I want.

Unless of course the strategy is to make it so hard to drive everyone out of the game, in that case, mission accomplished.
