They don’t refer to them as Bathurst cas because no one refers to them as Bathurst cars in real life. He official name is the Virgin Australian Supercars Championship. Please don’t abbreviate it as ASC. They’re not ASC. VASC, V8SC, or ISC are all correct-ish names. They’re not the Australian Supercars. Never have been.

There is no reason whatsoever why they shouldn’t be in the motorsports category. None. You are not understanding how licensing of Brands works.

NASCAR gave FM a license for the series. And while the development never really worked out (one reason why when people clamor for Rally or Motorcycles, I know it is a terrible idea), it was licensed with the NASCAR brand, likely with the intention of it becoming much bigger than it did.

The same holds true for Formula E. The Partnership is with the series. Again, it has never really been developed, but the license is for the series.

With SuperCars Championship Virgin Australia, the licensing was for the Supercheap Bathurst 1000, not the entire series. It was a single race license, likely through the sponsor and with a second license granted by SuperCars. Look at the in app description for the Supercars Championship '16. The splash screen capitalizes only the S and not the C. If they had licensed the series, then it would be Capital S, Capital C. SuperCars.

The same goes for Le Mans. We have WEC cars and WEC tracks in the game, but RR3 does not have a license for the WEC Series.

Also NASCAR and Formula E have not been a part of Career Progression, at least since the Daytona 500 release, if ever, so it is easier to remove the NASCAR Category and two Bonus Series than it would be to remove two series, Supercars Championship '16 and Supercars Championship '17 that are directly in the career progression of the Elite (Category).
