The DLC will be available September 25 in the U.S. and September 26 in Europe.

Patch 2.08 should be made available next week and includes the following changes:

  • ID’s are now shown above cars when watching online races.
  • Response of the clutch pedal when using the steering wheel controllers “G25 Racing Wheel”, “G27 Racing Wheel”, “T500RS” and “TH8RS” has been adjusted.
