    Hello,
    I just wanted to say that it's time to redo the Pro Pack in my eyes, as all the GT3 in there are outdated and can't be used online any more, which might lead to some frustration for the people buying it (now or later) for that purpose. There's also the old version of Zandvoort included and WTCR 2018 could be replaced by WTCR 2022, although the latter point doesn't really make a difference. Moreover, I'd include the M2 CS instead of the M235i, the FR X-22 instead of the FR-X17 and one DTM 1995 car as well as one Supertourer.
    An alternative could be to take it out of the shop and republish it with a Hypercar and one of the new tracks in September included.

    Note: I'm not aiming at a discussion with this, I'm just sharing my thoughts trying to help you get the most out of the summer campaign. ;)

    Yeah, I agree, it's very outdated. I think it's better to rethink the place of this pack in the game completely. For example, make it a step between starter pack and Premium pack (so, more of modern and regularly used on ranked content) or a pack that has interesting, maybe difficult content aimed for those who want more challenge and variety overall.

    BTW, I don't see M2 CS as a replacement for m235i. The latter is just a much better car, in my opinion, while M2 CS is way too unbalanced - too much power for its braking capabilities and too soft suspension for its weight. I really like all BMW cars in Raceroom, they handle so nicely (which made me understand why people like BMW in real life), but M2 CS is so drastically different.

    Very nice idea. The Starter Pack could be the stuff you need to be able to race something online every week, while the Pro Pack could include all the special stuff for interesting offline challenges such as Group 5, Crossles, Zonda, Charade, Pau-Ville or similar.

    I like the M235i more as well, I was just thinking the M2 might be more relevant for online races, as it is newer content. Might not be the case however.

    These three packs do not make any sense for a long time supporter.
    I'd suggest two paks for the content of a year for cars, tracks and combined with selected items and complete release.
    This would give us a fair chance to keep up. For latest content missing I would have to pay as much as for a new game something between 60 and 80 €. I'm not willing to do that.

    Agree, I bought the Premium Pack back in 2020 and buying everything available would sum up to numbers that don't fit into this text box. :confused:
    I've been thinking about some kind of subscription model for a while, something like a never-ending season pass, but as content updates are not that regular (I think we have like Sep24-Dec24-Feb25-June25-Sep25), it's hard for me to calculate a good price for it. My feeling is that a deal like "Pay 2€ a month and get all the future content for free" would be something I'd actually do, but at the same time it doesn't seem enough to offer it. Especially as one could subscribe, wait for the next big update, and then immediately unsubscribe, which would turn this solution into an organised let's-cheat-on-KW-procedure.
    Maybe "30 € for all of the content of the next year" or so, that would be nice. And it could also be done in retrospective: a "2024 Season Pass" would include Pau-Ville, the Ferrari 296 GT3, the BMW Pack, the DTM 1995 Car Pack, Diepholz, Avus, Hockenheimring Classic, the DTM 2024 Car Pack, Zandvoort, Oschersleben 2024, the Super Touring Car Pack, Silverstone Classic and Estoril - worth 119,67 € with my calculation. In a sale, it would come down to 59,84 €. Considering 2024 was a content-heavy year, I'd say 30-40€ for a season pass is in a fair area.
