It depends whether you like to race offline or not. I believe you can just free load by joining the rooms with specific tracks. I personally like karting, but I don't like buying stuff in games. So free loading is my way.
However if you want to race on spa and the new kart track anytime and how you want it, want the new cars, and suits/helmets, then go for it.
Although I did bought FF8 just to play it again
Free-loading is definitely the way to go. I rarely do any offline events, so the tracks and cars that I purchased with the DLC will probably be rarely used in my case. Next time there is DLC, I will probably just buy the tracks, rather than the whole package.

I bought the complete package since i have a PS+ subscription and received a discount with the purchase. SPA and the cars were worth it for me. I could do without the outfits, paint and kart track. IMO the kart track is just a waste of time on their part. I surely hope it didn't take them long to develop as i highly doubt it will remain an active meeting place. I refuse to race anything other than karts on that track. Cars really do not belong there.
I agree that PD could have done a way better job at a kart track. For example, what if they replicated a real-life kart track? Genk, La Conca, or a kart track in the USA? Hey, they have the kart track that is on the inside of Spa-Francorchamps (on the right after Stavelot for those who haven't noticed), give that track a little extra-detail and let's race it! ...I'm sure that the audience of kart racers in this game is small, but if PD spent the time detailing 100cc & 125cc karts, give them a proper track! 👍

If their physics matched their car list I would buy an Xbox, but they dont so I wont
I'm curious as to how you can state this without owning an XBox?
Forza 3 was crap, definitely, but I rather like Forza 4's physics. The gradualness of the loss of grip and the way the cars can 4-wheel drift sideways with the camber just a little on that right hander after the Corkscrew (just like iRacing) is pretty good. Sure, the physics of catching slides needs some work [note, currently there is a bug with steering lock defaulting to 270 degrees when the car is in a slide, some remnant of previous drifting physics I believe], but apart from that I'd say Forza is matching GT5 in many ways (better in some, worse in others).
It's not as if GT5 physics are perfect: Take braking without ABS for example: Lock one front wheel up and you spear the car off the road instantly, like a digital switch [grip|no grip], hardly realistic.
And you can't argue with their car list: I wish GT5 had half the modern/botique supercars which Forza has managed to snag....

It's all worth it, IMO. All of the TC cars handle extremely well and you can change wheels/paint on them. I was really impressed by the little Prius TC car. Spa and Kart Space is worth the entire $12, IMO. As are the suits. I love the "official Gran Turismo helmet." The paints? Not so much, IMO since you only get 1 of each and a lot of them don't quite strike my fancy.
But then again, I'm not a casual gamer but a diehard fan of the series. I'm happy with the DLC and wouldn't mind forking over $12 every other month for new DLC packs like this.

Yes, it is. Spa is impressive and by far the best version I have seen. The cars while just Race Mods are high quality and phenomenal machines. The paints and gear offer some interesting alternatives as well. Considering what 'other' companies charge you, $12.00 for all of it is a good bargain.

The FM4 DLC was available before the game 
As you can drive Spa without buying it, the DLC content is not worth its price. But the psychological effect of knowing you have a "complete" game might be worth it.
With every new update (and screwup) of PD, and every new screenshot or car list I see from FM4, my eagerness to have a "complete" GT5 goes down a notch. The fact that PD can have that effect on a former GT fanboy and huge car enthusiast like me, is a good sign they're on the wrong track.

We can say the same about the GT5 DLC cars, basically they make you pay for (japanese) RM cars which should have been already in the game, think again folks. 💡
At least Turn10 make you pay for something great: an Audi R15++, a Lambo Aventador, a 458 GT2 an Aston Mirage Virage... seriously RM cars are just a joke compared to that. We have 4 more Skylines and the PRIUS, 'nuff said. Only Spa really worth the money imho.
