It may be that they had to bring forward the Daytona 500 Update to coincide with the real-life event (it would have been over before the update was release, otherwise) and because the Ford Update was very light. Just a theory, though, you may be correct too. True, although that 5 weeks wasn't a "full" update (4.0.1 to 4.0.5) - it was over the Australian summer holidays though which is probably more important. The tail end of this release is overlapping the Easter holiday break as well - all of which carves chunks out of development time.

Also, looking at timings for future releases - the following release after the April release (likely early June) would be expected to be this year's Le Mans update. So that would mitigate against making the April release too large.

As always... we speculate, but eventually all we can do is wait and see :-P

Aussie holidays are more important. I still can't believe they didn't acknowledge Bathhurst on the facebook page, the biggest race in their own back yard. That shows a complete lack of motorsport knowledge.

Anyway, I have another theory. I still think the whole Mclaren update last year was supposed to be a history of the Honda partnership building upto the F1 car, similar to the Ferrari the year before. Bust because the 2015 F1 car was such a dog they had to pull it and do the Lemans history.
