That was definitely there when I started (December 2014).

Over Xmas I tried to set up a new-ish account so I could make sure I wasn't missing sales, and I recall it at least being mentioned in the "tips" in the splash screens.

Promotion (of crew) was based on value of the cars in your garage, not on progress through series (although obviously there is a strong link between the two).
