I'm just a bit mindful of ”changing the rules” after people signed up for the season. But I'm not hearing a chorus of no's at this stage, so we may end up biting the bullet and leaping in with the DLC. The Merc is a fine car to drive.

I tried the merc loved it on gp ring track...feels very fast can brake later than in the x bow feels nicer tighter and the kph speeds are good down the straight..it feels like something's wrong with the physics when I'm braking later getting similar speeds and can set the gear ratios better in the mercedes...so why the hell am I nearly 5 seconds a lap faster in the x bow...makes no sense to me at all...offline 2.15.4 x bow 2.20.1 mercedes...gutted cos I love touring cars....

I'll add the Merc 190 to the mix, which means you will need the DLC to participate in the season.

I actually waited because I wanted to donate more for this excellent game. I thought the original game was too cheap, especially when you compare it to iracing... (never goin back!!)
