Those cars just won't be available for purchase anymore but they're still there to use for their owners. Hackers will be through that wall in no time :rolleye: I just wish that wall wasn't there to begin with. FM needs to get some better contracts next time. Maybe one that allows anyone who played before its expiration to be able to continue to obtain the content, rather than only those who owned the vehicles.

People are losing potentially real money that may have been put into these cars that will never be shown to them again in 2 days. If it's something like NASCAR's relationship with sponsors whose logos are on the cars, then it might be completely out of FM's ability to negotiate. There's not enough information to point a finger, though it's understandably frustrating. I've been thinking it would be something related to the sponsors but actually, it might be more likely the car manufacturers, since the 2019 lineup will be completely different from 2017 and earlier (at least I think I've read people on here say it'll be Camaro, Mustang, and Supra instead of SS, Focus, and Camry). Since the race series is as much a marketing venue for the manufacturers as it is for the advertisers. Your first instinct was the correct one.

Le Mans/WEC is a different case because they didn't actually do the deal with WEC, they did it with the Manufacturers directly, and they manufactures don't mind... in fact Am teams can't run the current year car, they need to run the prior year's car... That's why the Am teams were running the 2017 AM while the Pros had the new Vantage.
