China and Portugal
Why aren't China and Portugal included in the actual game after being advertised in the features trailer? You can see them both here on this video https://youtu.be/YgOi41qmlc4?t=94

Only sense of China and Portugal not being in the game is that we'll have to pay for them later, it wouldn't make sense for the tracks to appear in the launch video and then disappear.
@gladystonff AI training is valid reason.. Yes i can see paid DLC aswell but each year the AI needs to be trained for each track and possibly FOM complained about it not being the true calendar blah blah the typical FOM stuff
- I believe that somehow they will be in the game soon.

@pawel567only because they had a few frames worth of racing around China doesnt mean the AI were even 10% trained at that point, but its all just guess work here
@Ultrasonic_77Previously someone pointed out to a specific few frames in one trailer and it really looks like China turn 7 but dont know about Portimao
As @Meza994 has pointed out, there is no footage related to Portimao in any of the trailers aside from the menu screen.
However, there is a little clue that they might get included in the game files. In each of the tracks, there's the files for each and every podium. And as well as every Grand Prix in the calendar, there's a podium texture for the Chinese Grand Prix and Portuguese Grand Prix. Last year on game realease there also were files already created for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the Portuguese Grand Prix and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, so I guess there's not much of a secret to hide.
