Currently, there are 7,803 events for 100%

Removing NASCAR series and Formula E series would reduce events by 883 to 6,920, it doesn't matter if these events are 100% or 1%, they are removed, therefore "reset"

5 new series will be added (est. 5 x 58 = 290) therefore the new total events is 7,210, those on 100% will drop to 95%. (6,920 of 7,210 events raced)

Obviously, this is a simplistic calculation, 6.0.5 will add new series and 6.1.0 will add more.

No should be spent on NASCAR series, unless there is a return (50%, 75% or 100% completion  and  sponsorship deals requiring 100% completion)

FM appears to be acknowledging players want to achieve 100% completion of the game (possibly without a full garage goal). Possibly those players are willing to use IAP to accomplish this goal. NASCAR and Formula E were expensive and unpopular, therefore a barrier to this goal. Meaning players would quit rather than pay.

Another point to note: when Exclusive series has introduced, the group wasn't added to the events stats total, however, it was added several releases later. It is possible that the new Motorsport group will be added to the career after a few releases, allowing those with 100% completion goals a few releases to complete that group and maintain 100% completion.

One further point: the exclusive series will be removed from The Career category it is also possible the series will once more be, removed from the events stats total, therefore the goal may actually be reduced by a further 1,018 events. I really think that the Motorsports move is for new players to the game that are "recruited" from the E-Prix Venues. If, what attracted them to the game was Formula E, then it makes no sense to require those players to go through several career groups before they can access Formula E events.

FM will now let them have that content up front, and I suppose, hope to convert them to the Career Category after the fact. It is actually a smart move on EAs part
