We need clarification on this to allow us to decide what to do. However I feel it unlikely that these cars would never be available again as it would put new players in particular at a disadvantage where they would never be able to complete aspects of the game if they chose to, especially players drawn to RR3 by either of these franchises. Most likely there will be periods of availability for the older cars or possibly flashback or LTS events for them. No ambiguity.

NASCARs and Supercars from 2018 and earlier will be unavailable for purchase from Tuesday, 1 January 2019 00:00 UTC. For anyone that does not own a NASCAR or Supercar that is currently in the game, will not be able to purchase that car that they do not own from 2019 onwards. That means NASCAR 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, and Supercars 2016, 2017, and 2018.

As of this update, unowned NASCAR and Supercars vehicles will display a timer, and will not be purchasable after the timer expires. From 6.6, dropping October 8th, to December 31st, you will see a countdown timer on any of these cars that you do not own. The time will be validated with their servers as you have to be online to make the purchase. After the timer expires, you can no longer buy any of these cars.

Further, if you do not own any of the cars, say for the 2015 Season of NASCAR, you will not be able to access that Motorsports Series after the timer expires.

To preserve seasonal motorsport content in the game and align with the licensing policies of our motorsport partners, we have introduced limited time availability for certain licensed motorsport vehicles. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. Not sure why the licensors would care if people could buy their older cars after a certain date, but were okay with letting that content stay within the game for those who already had it to use.
