I think, RACE Injection is really good idea, because now eweryone will be able to buy new expansions in traditional gaming stores.

But I think, most importaln thing is that SimBin has new distribution partner.

BTW. I have RACE 07 and all expansions and i don't want to pay for something what i already have. What the "updated" and "additional content" means?

I wonder if this RACE Injection is just a pure repack of Race07+Expansions or whether it will include some bugfixes. (I think about the Camaro online bug, which is still needed to be fixed.)

If they fixed some bugs, this should be released for all RACE 07 users.

Release same game with some fixes and not release patch for all users will be most stupid thing ever in game industry.

It does say "With the new additions of 23 unique cars and 9 tracks" so I guess they have added content to this pack. Well I'm not going to buy this after already buying all the expansions.

For those of you questioning what is contained in this pack.  It is stated in the article.
