1) I actually think that the LTS's are a direct result of the Marketing research survey that they did a year or so ago. SE's like Front-Runner, Generations and The Gauntlet (Season 6) became too hard, with ridiculous challenges that had nothing to do with racing, and people who filled out the survey were fed up and had enough.

2) Whoever from EA that was brought in to run FM does not understand Cars, Racing, or the Game itself.
 * While they do not have license to F1, they could have easily created a Career Series with the Ferrari F14 T, the Ferrari 412 T2, and the Lotus Type 125; possibly even the McLaren MP4-X. They could have had put it on all of the Grand Prix Circuits in the game with Time Trials, Speed Records, Eliminations and Cups that were equivalent to Le Mans 10-Lapper. What we get is an Exclusive Series for the Ferrari F14 T that runs on almost no GP circuits and puts it on the Formula E Hong Kong Circuit and every short track in the game. Basically a, here run it on everything including on Nürburgring Müllensbachshliefe, tracks where the car does not belong.
 * They have a lot of great WEC GT assets. Do they make a Career Career that has the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R, Ford GT Le Mans, Ferrari 488 GTE, Aston Martin Vantage GTE, Porsche 911 RSR (2013), Porsche 911 RSR (2014), Porsche 911 RSR (2015), Porsche 911 RSR (2016), and Porsche 911 RSR (2017) all in the same series? Nope. You could even add a 10-Lap Le Mans Race to this series... heck you could basically just copy Endurance Champions and change the Roster of Cars and add a few Showcases and Showcase Time Trials, and it would be a really good career series.
 * The transition from an BRL based game where was occasionally helpful to one that is almost exclusively  past a certain point. The game Basically has three different currencies, BRL,  and Fame. And not having any ability to funge them creates many of the problems we see today.
 * Putting cars on tracks that they do not belong on. Hennessey Venom GT on Suzuka Circuit East for a WTTT event? REALLY? That car can't go straight on Mulsanne for most drivers on a perfect day, and FM wants us to wrestle it around a track made for cars with agility?

Basically all FM are focused on are bringing new assets to the game that get most people spending money or generating ad views to obtain and not utilizing the assets already in the game to interesting effect.
