Series 7 Update preview & #ForzaMonthly livestreams - March 8

Can somebody please help me understand this, correct me if I’m missing something as I didn’t watch the stream. How is this a new way to play? Aren’t we just doing the same seasonal events as before?

A lot of the updates in this series just seem to be there to force people to play things they don’t want to in order to get rewards/cars/achievements (ie. Trial events & multiplayer in general). I got excited when I saw the M3 GTR, but if I have to do the seasonal trial events or anything to do with multiplayer, forget it, I just don’t care anymore.
