The year package is certainly a pretty good deal. The only problem is that
my family and I suspect most others, operate on a monthly budget and $156 is
quite a whack from one month. In addition, I wouldn't buy an annual package
until the sim has been out a while.

Didn't know about the discounts on buying the extras and that is certainly
welcome news.

I still think, despite the work that's gone in, that the subscription should
cover the cost of the vehicles and tracks. Maybe I'm to used to MMO's where
one buys the game, subscribes for 16 dollars or so and gets pretty much all
the content, plus new regular content and the publisher keeps track of
various leagues like PvP.

Despite this, iRacing must have got their sums right, as it is very likely
that I will be staying, even at the $20 a month model...
