To the FANDOM above, the more experienced player is not forced to buy the new cars if they have the older cars for an older series. For example, I had gotten the original FE cars when they were first introduced. With this past update, the season 4 FE season was locked for me, grayed out, but since i had the older season 3 cars, i was able to play the season 3 series. Same thing for NASCAR, I have Amirola's 2016 Ford Fusion, so the 2016 series is unlocked, but the 2015 and 2017 series is locked for me, and i do have a 2018 NASCAR. Works for any Motorsports series.

And to the chronology, i think its more of a marketing thing. Think about the new players.

They see the new Formula E car or they get into a series such as NASCAR or WEC or Supercars and they see a game that supplies that fun, using those cars (RR3), so they download it, race a bit, with the goal of getting the cars that they downloaded the game for in the first place.

They are gonna be seriously let down when they see that they have to get different year cars first. THey dont want to spend the time and effort. They want to race those cars now! They wanna race the latest cars now! The cars they see on TV are what they want. SO FM puts them first, to hook those players.

Thats my theory anyway, i find it reasonable, but only FM truly knows...
