Five bucks says the Carrera GT is a time-limited pride-and-accomplishment-mobile doing no good to the game's QoL.
Then again.. I can't really fault IT, considering the vast majority of people taking that survey seemed to like cars being gated off to the tippedy-top-performers* in a once-in-a-very-long-while-event.
*also let's not ever change how many people can win said cars so the 3000 players that won it the first time around can theoretically lock it out again and a grand total of 0 people get a new vehicle**, tough 🤬 luck sunshine #EaDidNothingWrong #HardcoreGamerMasterRace.
**No, I haven't reinstalled it to check if things like the Huracan Performante have become purchasable since last, and frankly, if they aren't made so with this update, I'm giving up every single sliver of hope and optimism I ever had for this entire game. Not that there's all that much of it left for me to give up, but hey.
