Not that I support the way series are put together and the races that are offered, far from it... I regularly question it directly on Game Changers...

But, the Evo Tribute was intended to be an extreme qualifying version of the 919 Hybrid, and not an Endurance race car. Porsche says as much on its videos and in interviews. The car is in a qualifying trim that would be awful to drive 6, 12, 24-hours. It wasn't even fitted with headlights to save weight.

All that being said, this is a game, and designers can use their imagination to create a what if story.

If I have a major criticism, FM has lost the ability to tell compelling stories. Even the cheesy Tier Names from the old series tried to tell a story, which is lost now in game by algorithm.

There is no drama. Algorithm says make EB 110 the top car in its series instead of putting it in a series with the cars it should be matched against that were its competitors in real life (Jaguar XJ220 and Ferrari F40 or F50). And while the decision is made by a designer, the algorithm that they operate under is that the XJ220 and F40 have higher PRs and could complete the series leaving no one upgrading the EB 110 and leading to a car that generates a loss. But it would make for a better story as those are the cars that the manufactures put out in the day and would have been going after the same audience.

And players what to take cars that they could only hope to see behind ropes at a car show and pit them against each other, and yet we don't get the Chiron Sport against, the One:1, against the Regera, against the Huayra BC, etc. We used to get those type of series, but they don't happen any more.

And that is my main criticism. I can't argue with the business decisions because there are costs that they have to cover and revenue expectations that they have to meet to stay in business (the studio and the game). But I can criticize a game that is telling a bad story, or no story at all....
