ie it went from 4.0.x (different between iOS and Android) to 4.0.5, rather than the normal increment of 4.0 to 4.1.

Timings are interesting - no release notes as of yet, but there's only 5 days for Gauntlet 2. Wonder if we're looking at a shorter release cycle on this one? Or my previous guess that they're gearing up for a big "birthday" release..

Only had a quick skim but looks like the new cars are only in 1 series apiece. 60 new races total (assuming no removals).

And as has been noted elsewhere... potential issues with ads... Mustang GT Premium is in two series :) I think this is a smaller update, carrying on with the theme of alterning between big and small releases (Le Mans PoV,  Lions of Leipzig,  NASCAR, McLaren, Hypercars, Ford). Given that Hypercars Update brought 4 new cars and a new mode, through the holidays, FM may have had a limited time to get new content for this update and will concentrate on bolstering the next one (I think).

Release notes have been released since your post, the version numbering may be either because of what you suggested, or they're going back to how they used to do version numbering before they hit v2.0, where increments were much smaller.

I haven't had issues with ads, but as has been established, different people experience them differently, so that may be the case :/
