Otherwise, a couple of things of note:


 * It is not clear where EL will be placed (i.e. it may well take over Group C's position in the career so no parachuting into the 10-lapper


 * Clearly the '14 EP series will be similar to the current motorsports series' medium length races and low pay


 * Group C will now require all three cars heavily upgraded.


 * EC will likely move in 6.5

My main concern is the amount of new content. 5 new series to do, just for exisiting cars, some of which will clearly be time-consuming to do. I'm fine with this, but I hope FM titrate the new stuff to account for this, i.e. NO new ES's and maybe only 2 of new cars available through LTS's (plus a couple LTS's for existing cars). I'm finding this update a little overwhelming. Point 1 is a fair point. It could end up locked based on Career progression. I'd like to think that FM would grandfather people who own the cars at the time of ELs introduction into this series, but it may be more difficult for new players.

That being said, the Group 5 1970 Season (Endurance Prototypes) would possibly unlock the 2014 season, or if they go with the current format in NASCAR, the 2014 or 2015 or 2018? (TS050 and the naturally aspirated P1s would be nice) season would be open and you could get a car and go ahead and unlock the other seasons.

While they haven't done it in the passed, maybe GiN or an event for one of the cars will unlock EL in the future.

We should also wait to see what the best Group 5 1970 Season (Endurance Prototypes) payouts will be, and this will likely indicate the 2014 and presumably 2015 seasons.

I am not sure why you think you will need to heavily upgrade all Group Cs.... will likely be like the 1998 Season (Endurance GT Racing) where the 1995 F1 GTR is included in the mix and you will only need 1 car for completion.
