I want to buy Premium but should I wait?

[Meaty Chunks]

I read the premium pack includes everything released so far for the game. Just for my clarity though, does that included the recently released BMW pack? Also, if I wait for a few days, will it include the new DTM pack that is about to be released? Thanks

yes wait until the 4th. when you buy the premium it includes everything thats in the game up to that point.

Thanks, I realise this was obvious really, but it just seems like a slightly odd way to sell content. So thank you for your clarification.

No worries and I think it has one of the best business models in all of the simulators out there.

At the moment the Ferrari 296 GT3 is not included.

yeah this pay system ♥♥♥♥♥ all over old buyers/players, at literally the same cost they previously paid. Just like my friend that actually bought premium like 3-4 years ago, now to get all the missing content he would have to rebuy little more then full premium price which is ridiculous. These guys could literally have the best sim out there with a better pay system and online comp servers. I was about to buy premium last week but seeing how thta system works no thanks. Moving on to iracing and waiting for ac evo.

You're crazy if you think iracing has a better business model. It's 160-170 dollars to race in a season in iracing. That's for what you need and not even extra cars/tracks you may want.

Raceroom you can spend 30-50 bucks to get you the majority of what you will need to race completely. Let's not even mention that you don't own that with iracing once your subscription goes out.

iRacing is much more expensive, why are the people so mad to support a product regular?

Let's not forget that you still get discounts if you already own some of the content. The upcoming DTM packs, both 1995 and 2024, will likely be discounted if you already own the other cars. You'll only be paying for the new cars and it will be cheaper than buying those new cars individually.

I don't think there's a game that does this better than Raceroom, RF2 packs are an absolute disaster, AMS2 also punishes you (and harder) for getting stuff earlier, ACC works similarly to AMS2 but with less discounts, we don't know what will be of LMU's season pass, and so on.

For the price of a AAA base game you can buy everything in this game (excluding the 296 likely due to licensing, but get it with a discount if you buy a DTM pack). There's no other game that gives you as much as Raceroom does for your money.
Early adoption always costs more, it sucks but that's how it works.

Price went up. It's now 12990vrp for the premium pack so 102USD. I was thinking about buying it yesterday but now I'm not so sure...

[IroN1c]

what was the price before?

[matriq]

Yesterday it was 70USD for 10000vrp (Premium Pack was 9990vrp). Now it's 75USD for 10000vrp and Premium Pack is 12990vrp.

[76561199637406677]

I remember it being about $107 before

Well, I guess I spoke too soon...
To be fair, the amount of content keeps increasing so it was a bit strange that the premium pack kept the same value for so long, it's possible that it's also adjusted to inflation, etc, etc...

You can still buy the $75, $17 and $10 VRP packs and it's a bit cheaper than buying the premium pack directly through the game and save about $5~$6.

Still, for the amount of content you get it's still better value than other games's equivalent to Raceroom's premium pack.
However, keep in mind the DTM 2024 content and the new laser scanned Oschersleben isn't out yet but will be available "a bit later". Might be worth it waiting for those if you're interested, as long as they don't do a Ferrari 296 moment with the Lambo...

It also makes sense to buy 7500 vRP pack twice. That will cost you 110 Euro/USD, but you get 15k VRP instead.
