FM NEED to change their extemely limited and gruelingly "closed off" game style. If we get the Ring, then good luck seeing all your favorite cars you own on it, unless for once they at least update existing series' to include it. Or better yet; give every car new series' to enjoy them on, or best yet; let us CUSTOMIZE our own races.

New tracks would be great. But even more great would be the ability to use our existing cars on any tracks in the game as it is, and against more cars making for more interesting, experimental and fun matchups.

This is one of the major failings of the game. FM/EA will say they don't charge you to use new tracks, but they do. the price is hidden in the cost of the cars. They will give a few token rces to existing cars, but nothing that will satisfy your desire.

there is a reason all the new events use daytona, and it is not because is it is the newest track. all the updates since the February addition of Daytona have featured some very expensive cars. I have no doubt that those increased costs are paying track license fees.

just watch...when they finally get around to adding a new track, the challenge that introduces it will feature one of these expensive cars. Also, any existing cars that get access to the track will not get past the middle 50% or 75% point in the series and will only get short cup and non-cup races.

even today, 2+ years after introduction, try running a cup race on Le Mans longer than 2 laps w/o spending gold. I don't think it can be done.

Not saying it is bad, just the way it works. And by our actions, player have told FM/EA that this is OK. How many players have all 6 LMP cars upgraded to race 10 laps? How much GC did that cost?

FM/EA is not stupid. they are successful. they have mountains of data from their user base that tells them their pricing practices work. Otherwise they would stop updating the game.
