It had huge participation, something like 400,000 entries, and the payout was decent. It would be a great development if these TT competitions became a regular special event feature. The FE one will presumably be the new cars at Brooklyn. But the McLaren one? That's new territory! Anyone want to speculate??? McLaren on Silverstone GP, maybe? Maybe an EA typo... Mercedes TT on Hockenheim or Nürburgring?

 * McLaren Time Trial Competition, 4 August - 13 August 2018

The British GP is in July, so that doesn't coincide. The British round of WEC doesn't take place until the week after the TT is over.

The only thing I can think of is that McLaren is planning to announce they will field a works team for the Senna GTR ahead of the WEC race at Silverstone, and they are positioning to get as much hype as they can.

Remember that they had Grand Prix Driver advertised in-game, so they likely have a positive relationship with FMEA and feel that it has a reach to their target audience... Though it would have been nice to have brought the Senna to the game to coincide with an announcement like that.
