The discount is there until they decide to...but I think it's probably forever... ;)
I can't see them removing it - they give discounts based on the amount of a pack you already own (e.g. the tracks in the DTM-E)

Bear in mind that 80% includes the 60-odd they give EVERYONE tho - it's not 80% off the price other people see...
 
one thing that worries me, is will Rres physics match up to the feel of a single seater. I know that seems a stupid question. but can they?

especially when I think RRes ffb is slightly numb in the" tyre contact road" dept.
 
Not entirely on-topic - but DTM 13 is heavily discounted in the Thanksgiving Steam Sale (75% off I believe)

Note: That's on Steam and NOT in the in-game store where they'll happily take full price for it

I'm assuming there's no difference in what you get - just how much you pay for it!!
 
Please fix the performance issues. a GTX680 should be able to "almost" max out the settings in 1080p. In triple screen it's going to be different I'm aware of that but even reducing graphics settings performance doesn't seem to improve much. Bathurst triple screen the fps are all over the place, one minute over 100 then the next 40's. 40's would be perfectly fine if the jump from 100 to 40 wasn't so large.

I miss RaceRoom 2. that sim even though very limited in content was brilliant.
