This is a free track that you can download when you buy the game. It's not on the disk. It's a benchmark ring set in an abandon airfield.

There are many layouts for this track. Some being huge ovals to test out how fast a car can go.

One layout is a 8 lane drag.

There is also an open area where you can just drive around like a huge parking lot with obstacles to drift around

Look at the size of that oval... it's freaking huge.

Thats good to hear. I like supporting devs like turn 10. They'll also miss out on the 10 free cars too.

So what day do we have to use the code? Sometimes Canada gets the game one or two days late... that wouldn't be all that fair... (i say it should be re-usable for the first week)

the code will come with the game in the case. you can download it anytime. The code is 1 time use, so once you use it, it will forever be linked to your account, so you can download it and delete it as many times as you want. If you use it, you cannot give the code to anyone. All day 1 download means, that you will be able to download it on day 1 of the game release or day 2 or day 500. Used games will not have a code to use because it would have already been taken by the original owner of the game.

In very rare occasions when you buya used game... it may still have a code to it or extra DLC... that usually is someone who didnt have xbox live. Ive had that happen to me in Gears 2 used.

:( for used copies. I have bought my fare share of used games, and this would suck. I don't plan on getting this used though.

Wow a big giant crazily unrealistic ring track for free. Cant say I care much if I miss out on that!!

Why dont they make Spa-Francorchamps or Bathurstbe the code only track?? Now that would get people to buy the new retail copy!!

And P.S. I'm sure they will make this track available for download for a price at least. What point would there be in having a track out their that only 3% of the players had?? Who would want it if that was the case? That would make it a ghost town track online. And a big wide oval would ONLY be fun online. can you imagine how boring it would be driving that thing over and over in single player??

Anyone remember in Gran Turismo during the license testing. There were a few tests where you had to go in a circle in the rain. I used to love that test! I'd go backwards just to go pratice drifting around. I wish they had tracks like that

Why would only 3% have it? Any NEW game purchase will have access to these tracks. The open field will be fill with things to drift around. You can play games like tag and demo derby with these tracks. Also include is an 8 lane drag strip. All day 1 means it's available from day 1 going forward. So if you buy the game next month you can download it.

I don't think that is true. They stated that this track would be perfect for cat and mouse, drag racing, and custom games. Which all point towards online!
