As some of you know, there has been a change in names to describe certain features of the game, most importantly, locations in the career mode.

Pure Stock Challenge, for example, was called a "main racing series". It is now a "career series".

Road Car International, for example, was called a "bonus racing series", it is now just a "bonus series".

Amateur, for example, used to be called a "career series", it is now to be refererred to as a "category".

The old names were used over time by the community, the new ones are the terminology used by FM in their release notes.

"New Vertex event series – race the new Supercars in a deep Career Series featuring epic Cup races"

"Corrected "High Tech Legends" Bonus Series to no longer require all Showcase Events to reach the final Tier of Events"

"Endurance Champions (Located in Legend Category, under Racing Spirit)"

Unfortunately, a lot of the old terminology still remains. I invite anyone that spots old terms to correct them. This message is, however, more aimed at avoiding futher inconsitencies. Of course, you may still use whichever term you think fits best in comments :)

More clarifications:

-Special Events: A ususally story-driven set of races, that appear in Career or in the main menu as part of a new update (eg: Reign Supreme).

-Stages: A set of races, usually released on a daily basis when Special Events are ongoing (eg. Stage 01 (The Chance of a Lifetime) in Reign Supreme).

- Goals: Up to three different races in a single goal, with a universal description and skip cost. All goals in a stage must be cleared to advance to the next Stage.

-Features: Non-story-driven set of races, with bosses and seemingly randomly-selected races (eg. The Gauntlet).

- Challenges: Similar to Goals in Special Events, though only one race at a time.

-Events/Event Types: Refers to Autocross, Speed Snap, Cups, etc...

Any clarifications required, please ask :)
