Both the durability and performance parts features are an attempt to sell more speed boost, but these do so by punishing players who don't buy insurance and/or don't spend thousands of speed boost on card packs in what could be a futile attempt to get any elite parts for a car.
The durability is really an event fee that you pay later. $50 for tier 1, $150 for tier 2, $250 for tier 3. If you run a single player race with a tier 3 car, at many (or most) tracks you lose money even if you win the race because the cash reward is less than the $250 fee.
Worse yet, the new durability change has resulted in a bug where some players have cars that they can't repair, a semi-permanent bug until EA makes a patch or special fix for this.
The race and elite performance parts can't be purchased with in game cash. I did 25 pursuits and 20 single player races and never saw a single part, much less an elite one. Other players have reported that they never got any parts from the mystery packs they spent in game cash on. Without spending boost on card packs, upgrading a car to race or elite level is a virtual impossibility with version 5 (even if players spend boost on card packs, I'm not sure what the odds of getting elite parts are).

Also never press right click on Powerups Console Screen. By Right clicking on a powerup, you will spend 100 pts Boost on powerups .... not good, because I didn't wanted to buy it, I wanted to remove them, but now can't like we could do previously.
I lost 100 pts Boost cause of trying to remove magnet.
