Great news there, but also got me thinking.
1) It would be nice to be able to try out tracks and cars before buying. I'm not really interested in buying something I won't end up using much.
2) Be able to spectate any event, not just those you have the cars and tracks for. This of course would require downloading the content, but if it still requires payment to unlock for use, seems like a fine idea to me.
Those are just small things though. With so much new content on its way (several tracks and multiple cars), I wonder if they'll consider lowering prices. Even a year ago there was a small fortune required to buy everything, and it is just getting worse. Just last summer I could have gotten away with running a Star Mazda season after buying just a handful of tracks. This season, though, 10/12 tracks are ones I don't have, and all 12 of them are pay for tracks. That is money not easy to come by for a poor college student like me.
Still, I'm excited for a free Okayama, and I'll probably buy Suzuka whether I race on it or not, so I'm excited.
