It is only natural for the game. I think this year we will have more community challenges, special time trials ( like this Formula E now) and less FEs. Before v4.0 The traditional special event was the only way you could win cars. Then the first Gauntlet came along in V4.0, it was a good concept at the time. Every update from v4.0 until the Formula E Update had a Gauntlet. 2016 was the year of the Gauntlet  But after the first 11 gauntlets they became known for being somewhat easy to win with R$ only if you had the time/patience. So they tried a "revamped" style gauntlet for Season 12, in which speed snaps were boss races. Hoping most people would need to upgrade. But people figured how to win with R$ only in that Gauntlet. After that LTSes became the primary way to give away cars besides the traditional SEs. In LTS, the monkeys always win, because they can set the Final PR to whatever they like. Not too low but not too high either. If you want to win a car offered in an LTS, you have to spend Gold regardless of skill. If you don't have the Gold, well tough sh*t. They don't care.
