We already know the lineup for the WTTT through the next update and the 2018 Supercars (nor any Supercars), do not show up. That update takes us through essentially the end of November. It's doubtful the following update will include the Supercars in December before their "disappearance" after the New Year, though I guess it's possible. FM has already stated that after the New Year, NASCAR and Supercars will not appear in any future OMP/WTTT events. So, we only have to account for WTTT and OMP through the end of the year, and as I mentioned, we know the participants through almost all of November already.

While I think this plan is ridiculous, I suppose I am happy that it seems to mean that NASCAR and Supercar events won't be coming back in the future, which I can be thankful of, they've never been my favorite events (other than the NASCAR demolition derbies I guess lol). It's just unfortunate that the cars will essentially be deleted from the game, becoming zombie cars for those who own them. Once their series' are complete, there's literally no reason to have them any longer with no chance of them coming out to play for any OMP, WTTT, or Flashback.

I suppose the best news is that FM actually decided to let us know in advance, so we can all plan to skip some, or all of the cars and save up much needed GC for the next update (and year end sales). Really curious how this news is going to affect the play rate of the Supercar LTS's? It's got to be a massive chilling effect. I already have the Altima, and I had planned to get all 3, but there's really no reason for that now (despite my plan for a complete garage). Though, I still want the Commodore and may go ahead and get it.

The way I understand it, the removed cars won't count towards a player's complete garage, so there won't be cases where you have all but the 2018 Supercars for instance and can never get to 100%. Those cars just won't be a part of the total car count. So, after the new year, lots of players will have different total car counts they can achieve, dependent on how many NASCAR and Supercars they owned before the remainder were removed. It will be wonky for sure, but we'll survive.
