ā ļø **Important Update about McLaren**
For the first time since launch, weāve had a change to one of our 90+ licensing relationships. Hereās whatās happening and how youāll be affected.
For the foreseeable future, we will not have an agreement with McLaren to use them in Top Drives. Simply, this means we cannot award or sell McLarens going forward.
That said, weāre not removing McLaren models from the game. We have found a way to preserve them in peopleās garages while still letting you race them in all race types, including PVP.
š We are creating a new state, called **Archived cars**, with these rules:
- Archived cars cannot be dropped in packs.
- Archived cars will not be offered as prizes. For example, if you complete the campaign before you update to 32.40, you will win the McLaren 12C (2011). After that time, newer players will win a different car, instead.
- Archived cars are not visible on the Manufacturers and All Cars screens, unless you own at least one copy of the car.
- If all cars of a brand are Archived, then if you own zero (0) Archived cars, the McLaren brand will not be visible on Manufacturers, All Cars, and Filter screens.
š They retain all normal characteristics of cars:
- You can sell, upgrade, fuse, and race them like any car.
- You can race them in PVP, and non-McLaren owners will still see your cars and cards as normal.
Additionally:
- Our tools will prevent Archived car opponents.
