I don't see why they have put some NASCAR's in the Y3P seem a bit stupid to me especially when the rest are all in the shop. Like why put cars that are basically the same but with a different livery behind a paywall put something more interesting in the Y3P instead make people feel like it's actually worth spending the money on.

I'm guessing those in the Y3P are like base models and the only ones you can actually paint a livery onto which might make them a bit more desirable but yeah there is a good enough selection with the rest of the list to not be worth paying.

It's like Horizon 5 with Extreme E.
 
Here's some early footage of season 9 from MGTV...

Make sure to read the fantastic article by @Terronium-12 for info.

Here's some thoughts of mine about the paid NASCAR packs.

If you want the full NASCAR pack, it's 188,000 CC which equates to £15.99 (being the price of the 220,000 CC pack).
That seems like a lot for just official liveries but:
1. It's a lot of liveries
2. My guess is they are trying to recover the cost of the NASCAR licence by doing this?
3. We are getting the NASCAR playlist and Trackforge for free.

If you look at season 9 as a whole, it's about £25 including the cost of the RC standalone pack. Or if you look at year 3 as a whole, it's a similar price (when Y3 pass is on offer) for EVERYTHING added in year 3.

There are games costing £60-£100 which have less content than year 3 alone.

Last weekend, the base game was available for £6 on Steam which equates to about 6 pence per hour of gameplay.

I am not at all saying that the NASCAR packs are cheap, but it feels a bit like the Power Pack in GT7 in that they need to get revenue from somewhere.

Well yes, it's £6 for the base game, and that contains almost the entirety of the value. There are very few cars that you can't buy with in-game credits, and not one of them is meta. You can play every playlist except one, which will increase to two when the RC cars playlist arrives, and you can access the entire map with the base game, unlike FH4/5. Everything other than the base game is basically just there for people to give a donation to the devs if they want to. You basically get almost as much value from the base game for £6 as you get from the £120 Premium Edition + Ultimate Car Pack Collection in FH5, in terms of % of the game, it's like 100% for £120 for FH5, and 98% for £6 for Motorfest. So yes, they need to make money from other elements such as selling crew credits, season passes etc, and I'm sure part of the reason for selling the base game for £6 is the hope that maybe 1% of the people who buy it will go on to spend significantly more.

We will be performing an essential maintenance on 4 March 2026 from 09:00.

Expected downtime: 4 hour(s).

You will be unable to connect to the game's servers while the maintenance is ongoing.


BOO HISS

Hmmm, well I guess tomorrow morning I'll be spending doing the summit on TC2 (PS4), TC2 (Xbox) and TC2 (PC).

Then pick up some scoobie snacks and lock myself away from 1pm :D

Oh, some bad news re Trackforge - the money rewards are crap in comparison to the rest of the game (based on Militia Gaming's latest vid), so don't expect to use it for grinding bucks if you need cash to buy cars etc. Reminds me of the poor bucks ratio on the community races in TC2.

But there IS a new "best money maker" in the NASCAR playlist rivals events (the AGP event) - no doubt that'll get nerfed in the first post launch patch for season 9...

@breeminator yes I agree with your post entirely. I was trying to explain that it is sensible to look at the content vs price overall, hence the Power Pack reference, as that is a similar situation. Something that looks "overpriced" by itself, arguably isn't when you combine it with all the other stuff thrown at you for "free".

Good point. And if I may add my personal opinion to this, there may be more to this controversial monetization than just the NASCAR license.

Yes, I'm talking about UBI's dire financial state.

They need as much money as possible to get out of this crisis, and that will no doubt mean they will demand that all developers of UBI games that currently use a live service model make changes to make their games more profitable.

At first, I also got the impression that their latest move was a bit of a greedy deal, but what's more important to me is that they can protect the environment in which they can continue to develop and operate the game. (For me, who never wants to go back to Forza, which is full of FOMO, TCM is the only open-world AAA racing game!)
To be honest, I'm not passionate for current gen NASCAR enough to pay for the liveries included in this content, but I'll buy some to support them. Even if I alone buy this pack, it will only result in a small profit for IVT and UBI, but it's better than nothing.
