I know it sucks that we could have got the car for free, but c'mon guys.... 75% discount on upgrades is good/epic (regardless of whether you had the car already or not). In the end it shows that someone at EA/FM has a soul/heart. I chose to instantly FU the car in case there was ever an exclsive series (unlikely) but at least customisations are now free!

As for the assists screw up. In the end, it may have persuaded some people to learn how to drive without assists, and/or those with full assists to move to low assists. To be honest, I saw little real effect (low assists still provided most of the braking required, traction control still worked). I was still able to run the F40 4-lapper with an unserviced car and still win by huge margins every game.

If you had real problems as a result I apologise. But for me, the cheap upgrades was mana from heaven. It's the nicest thing FM has done in a while, and I will thank them for that.
