| What it adds | Two new tracks (Japan with rain puddles that limit downshifting, Mexico with chicanes), the 1964 Championship season, Air Intake upgrade cards for extra cooling, and a 7th car (orange) with its own deck and mat. | Card pack only: new Legend cards at three difficulty levels covering every car color, Power Up cards that give Legends abilities like slipstream and draft, Rival cards, and new Sponsorship cards. |
| What it fixes | Base tracks start to feel familiar; adds two very different circuits, a strong all-round upgrade, and room for a seventh player. | Base-game Legends (bots) get too easy for experienced players and only cover base-game colors; this makes bots tougher, adjustable, and usable with the expansion cars. |
