I'm afraid the strategy has been like that for a while and I suspect it's deliberate. FM switched from an IAP funding model to a heavier advertising model and this means that they are interested in players hanging around, logging in every day and watching adverts. This has been very successful I think.

We have been advising people for awhile now to wait as long as possible before buying cars they don't own. It's a tough call not to go for a car when it's in a special event though and plan to wait for it to be offered cheaper later (in a sale or LTS).

Remember though, you won the Formula E cars for free and they all need to be heavily upgraded for the career. Those who didn't win them will not be getting a better deal than you did and they will have missed out on the rewards you got (small though they are).

I think one of the main reasons FM have done this is that the Formula E WTTT event was very poorly attended and I guess that means many people either didn't bother or didn't have enough funds to win these cars.

I wouldn't expect any compensation from FM as you haven't lost anything.
