Events were two-week to three-month periods when limited-time cars, titles, and achievements were added to the game. The cars and titles were usually related to the theme of the event. Players were encouraged to complete as many event achievements as possible before the event ended. Once an event ended, its cars, titles, and achievements became unobtainable. In many cases, the Nitro admins decided to bring some of the event cars back for the following years in the Shop, during seasons, or during a later years' event. As a result, some event cars are more common than others.
Many changes involving seasons took place throughout 2019, making them more rewarding and more similar to events. After finding that seasons were more profitable, they began to stop running events in favor of seasons. This was confirmed by Travis on January 6, 2020. [1]
