Oh wow, I was going to get the expansion just for playing the new tracks online with you guys, but I really don't enjoy the game in single player so would never use it outside of the online nights arranged here. So....I don't need it?

Naturally!

Really looking forward to trying out these new tracks, hopefully the gaps between packs aren't that big either.

It's nearly time to get some tasty new old tracks into our eyeballs. I've not seen the roster for this wave of courses but I like a surprise!

Yeah I'm not looking at the courses before playing - should be even more chaotic than usual!

Same here.
I did read the names of the first wave a while back, and have a particular soft spot for one of them, but the others I really don't know what to expect.

The update is live now but you can't actually play the new tracks yet.
11pm UK (GMT) I believe.
Check local press for details!

I had a race through them all there. I'd advise trying the last one it's got a few odd bits.

Did someone actually manage to bomb me mid air 😂.
Some good new/old tracks but the actual new track was mental. Made me think of the ninja hideout in origami king.
Safe to say i was not on form tonight. Managed a silver podium once but came dead last in more races than I'd like.
Roll on the next one.

That was incredibly good fun. Well done for organising Dez! We should do another one on these courses for sure.

I think I saw that happen, I was just glad it wasn't me :P

That was good fun. I mostly came in 6th or worse but somehow managed to win one race so I was happy with that

I agree that the final new track is the best one, so many alternate routes

That was a good time!
I really liked the first batch of 4 new tracks, but had a hard time with the second batch.
Regardless, it was great!

Really enjoyed the races! Absolute carnage most of the time - some races I'd finish 1st/2nd then the next race I'd be 10th/11th!

Wasn't a big fan of the 'Tour' tracks as these seemed fairly simple - quite liked the others though.
