    The next dlc is due out this week(10th Feb) the British GT Pack.
    It seems that there will be 3 new tracks, Donnington, Snetterton and Oulton Park. The pack will also include the 2019 liveries and drivers. There is no word of any additional cars, personally I was hoping to see the GT 4 Mustang, who knows an extra surprise maybe..
