The Touring Car Legends expansion pack features two new circuits with multiple routes, five classic Touring Cars and new single player championships. There’s even a video to watch, look:

Circuits:

• Silverstone Circuit – race six configurations at the iconic home of UK motorsport, which has played host to Touring Car racing since the series’ inception in 1958.
• Donington Park circuit – Donington Park was the first permanent motorsports circuit built in the UK and is a classic venue on the Touring Car calendar. Races have been held here since 1931 and the circuit is available to race in four configurations.

 

Cars:

The Touring Car Legends pack includes some of the most dramatic and exhilarating cars from one of the most competitive eras in the sport’s history.

• 1994 Volvo 850 Estate Touring Car – Volvo’s striking estate was their first entry into Touring Car motorsport and the only estate used in that season, with its shape giving it strong straight-line speed at the expense of traction in low speed corners.
• 1994 Alfa Romeo 155 Touring Car – The 155 revolutionised Super Touring Car racing with ground-breaking wings and spoilers that dramatically improved its aerodynamic performance.
• 1996 Audi A4 Quattro Touring Car – A title winning car that lead the pack, the Audi’s dominance played its part in 4WD being banned from this form of motorsport from 1998 onwards.
• 1991 BMW E30 Touring Car – A fast and fun rear-wheeled BMW that won the first Championship under the Super Touring Car regulations.
• 1989 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth Touring Car – One of the first cars developed for the track first and then put into production to fulfil entry requirements, its thoroughbred performance and distinctive styling makes this car a Touring Car classic.

All circuits and tracks are playable in online and offline modes, including in three new single player championships – the British Championship, Euro Championship and International Championship.
