Looks like we will be getting a track pack DLC this month as well

I think as soon as we get patch 2.0, this will get announced.

Yeah, don't think they can announce yet while the Xbox is still waiting for patch 2.0

Do we know why M$ is dragging its heels with this patch?

Microsoft found a bug in the patch regarding an unreleased steering wheel and knocked it back. SMS fixed the bugs and re submitted it, now its down to MS again

Yep - "go away and make some code for a wheel not even released and then we might release it........somewhen"

In this case I can't really blame MS if it is something which may cause issues elsewhere on the console, even if it is for something not released yet.

That said, I can't help but get the feeling that MS are pursuing a policy of avoiding any promotion of PCars (possibly due to it being a rival to one of their own products?- Forza). I didn't see any of the advertising when you boot up which normally accompanies a new game, even though a very quick check of my history would suggest that I have a strong preference for racing games. In fact, I ended up setting PCars as a "followed" game, and still the Xbox refuses to volunteer information.

Definitely lookign forward to the track, even though I still haven't run half the tracks in game now.

What is this function, what is it meant to do and how do you do it?

Go to the game on the dashboard (I found the best way to do it was to look at your friends recently played list or through achievements), select it and amongst the options such as view hub, view leaderboard etc. there is a "follow" option.

As for what it does, I assumed that it would mean that you would be alerted to any news or extra releases for the game. However, going on the experience I've had with PCars (the only game I've followed), it actually does sod all.
