I see two main reasons for morhping EK into EL:

- adding new racetracks (yay!)

- "fixing" the PR reguirment for the 10 lapper there. (boo!)

So if you are like me, having the 919 (2014) at PR94 just to farm the 10 lapper, you might have to spend G$ to open it up again. Luckily (?) we have sales of 2015 LMPs incoming, which leads us to another question - why didn't the Monkeys cut EC too? Most likely answer is that it would be too much of special events needed to cover all cars moving to motorsport, especially given the next update is going to be Formula E.

But FM could skip events for 2015, right? Well, not if they plan to nerf the Nismo, like they did with F1 GTR....

Long story short, I don't know how to react to this change. :) I think the safest option is to buy the 919 (2015) on sale, get it to PR96 and have a 10 lapper available for at least two months. I really want the Nismo, but I fear the nerf-bat incoming.... am I being overly pesimistic here? I don't see why the Nismo would get it's stats hacked down. The PR values for all 3 2015's is almost identical, just because the Nismo has the best speed ratings it's the best at Le Mans, at Cataluyna Club it gets spanked for example. The F1 GTR was reduced so it would line up better with the 2 new incoming GT1 cars. Nothing is in stone, but a straight transfer in 6.5 (or 6.4 and they're just waiting until after the sales to announce it so racers think both cars are needed for career progression) seems the most likely, similar to what is happening with the 2014's in 6.4.

The biggest speculation being made so far has to do with Endurance Legends and will 2014's and 2015's be raced together, and how many cars will be needed to complete the series. If the 2015's can be raced in EL then the Nismo is going to be the best car for the 10 lappers that are being transferred from Endurance Kings to Endurance Legends.

If you want a clearer answer, find a time machine and let all of us know. As of now I'd say to keep in mind it is a game, and the GC's don't do anything in the real world. Don't be afraid to spend them on cars that will help you're enjoyment of the game, and the Nismo definitely fits in this category.
