C1 frequency: C1 races are held every other hour, with the registration period starting 45 minutes after odd hours for Japan time and Eastern Standard Time. This means that the number of C1 races per day has increased from 9 to 12, C2 races from 15 to 24, and C3 races from 24 to 36. Also, it is much more convenient to register for a C1 race because the registration periods are distributed uniformly throughout the day.
So far, the sequence of alternating C1 and C2 races has held. Also, the chocobuck rewards for C1 races have increased to 120, 100, and 80 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, respectively. (I have not verified these myself though.) The chocobucks were also increased for C2-C4.
The obvious consequence of this chocobuck change is that, if you win around 50% of your races on average, you will pretty much never have to farm chocobucks ever again, barring an unlucky streak of finishes 4th place or worse, and you'll be swimming in chocobucks, which would give you the incentive to use them on things other than entry fees for Chocobo Circuit (raising another chocobo, even selling items).
Now if only FFXI could "die" some more so that there are fewer Japanese players doing races...
