I have one of the 2017 cars, but am stuck because the 2016 series is locked, like a few others have mentioned.

I wasn't a huge fan of the nascar series, but at least they offed some unique/puzzling/challenging game mechanics with the drafting. Formula E wasn't super fun either, but had the battery management component. The supercars seem to offer mediocre racing without even a twist to justify including them. In real life they have some of the best racing out there. The reason there aren't any unique game mechanics is because the  rules are almost the same as GT and WEC racing. Only thing that can be considered unique is that many weekends have 2 sprint (shorter) races, but there's also the Bathurst 1000 endurance race. Only way monkeyscould emulate that is some tiers could have 2 shorter cups, and others have 1 longer cup.

The V8 Supercars are built along the same lines the NASCAR cars are - based upon a stock car and having way more HP than grip. Both are heavy cars that are best suited to go in a straight line. It's makes for a totally different experience from racing WEC prototypes, but to me that's the beauty of racing. Some series are on the cutting edge of technology, some have incredible handling, others have tons of power. I love having all types of cars in the game, but definitely prefer the motorsports angle vs. having to complete V8 Supercar series to get to race the Lambo Performante or WEC LMP cars.
