Just purchased the DLC yesterday. Lotus 25 feels great. Lots of fun with Escort too (drifting on slicks!)

Great 1.4 update btw.. I really like those new subtle racing lines.

Really enjoying this DP and agree with the previous poster that the Escort and the Lotus 25 are very enjoyable. I would love Kunos to do a Skippy/FF/FVee type car in the future as they are the cars I enjoy most in the other sims.

Not interested in engaging with the trolls but I think Kunos are following a sensible approach with what they are charging for these packs. Sims like AC have a long life and the idea that the developers can keep going for years with only the initial purchase money is crazy. I think if ISI had done the same thing then RF2 would be a lot further on and have a lot more quality content.

I just found out about this DLC pack. Bought it a few seconds ago.

In contrary what i stated before, i have purchased the DP3. And i have to say that these cars are a very welcome addition to the original 2 DP's. In fact i started to play AC more frequently. The updates are working very well. Better graphics and handling.
