It's pretty rare these day that they would give DLC for free. That was so nice of the developers. :-)

Playing video car games reducese the quality of driving in the real world, so the latest studies have shown. Just thought I'd pop that in:)

And for those not driving, I don't think it's healthy, getting used to shoving everything out of their way and speeding, it makes normal driving seem boring and they would be more likely to do crazy stuff. No study this time, just my 2 cents :P

It was about time. I was outraged that the horrendously bug-infested game didn't get a proper patch for months after release. By proper I mean patch that actually addresses issues with the game itself, not the **** paid casino DLC that has nothing to do with core gameplay.
Now, they're hoping to make up for it by this DLC... at least something, but the most important problems persist. You should have seen the official forums - Atari/Eden have lost a great deal of fans these months.

I drive totally differently than in-game:) I use a keyboard (until the Tron gamepad arrives, that is:) so the experience is completely different.
