    I wish I could find a Volvo S60 in the real world for $2 and change.

    Yes, upgrade was very cheap. WTCC 2016 cars feel more prone to lose grip, especially the Volvo is a handful. I was surprised how easy it goes airborne on the Nordschleife. It will take some practice to keep these cars under control.

    That's my first thought after the first few corners at Nordschleife Tourist. A handfull to drive, but that makes it just that more fun :cool::D

    I don't even like WTCC cars and this car is amazing. Tons of fun to drive.

    ok very sensible on the brakes. feels nice and challenging!! Had a very tough race at monza against the AI. But the AI is sometimes braking very early for the first chicane, I had some almost crashes because one AI guy braked at around 300m.

    When the other cars came from the pits and re-entered the track the guy in front of me hit the brakes BEFORE he even passed the pit-exit. The other cars were on the right side (white line from pit exit you know), left side was clear but he decided to brake massively. Maybe I find it in the replay.
    On the other side, one time I came out of the pit (in training) and an AI car was approaching and he just hit my back with flashing lights, instead of overtaking me on the left..

    Here the incident:


    but beside of this the race itself was fine and tough. A bit bumping here and there. A bit slow in the first chicane (26 cars) but otherwise very good race with many fights over several laps and much overtaking

    I've been only driving WTCC last weeks and having the time of my life, so this couldn't have come in a better time. :D

    Premium Pack should already contain WTCC 16.

    My mistake, I was referring to the Pro pack which has the latest ADAC/WTCC/DTM.

    Also:
    How many times it's possible to upgrade these kind of packs each time new content comes out? Other than only being possible to buy the Premium once, I can't find info on how many times other packs can be re bought after new content has been added. Still, I remember a user being unable to re-buy the GTR3 pack after the M6 GT6 out, while others could.
    Thanks!

    I suspect the AI to be poorer at awareness and braking when the speed differences are big. For instance if you are getting back to the track after running off, expect trouble.
