Concern over sponsor ads
Some Simmers expressed concern over the amount of sponsor ads which might be placed in this stuff pack, especially on the Racing theme jumpsuits and Formula 1 racers. The first screenshots released of the stuff pack and the recent change in the Sims 3 EULA seemed to coincide. SimGuruJenn posted a response on TheSims3.com forum:

Initial rumors
It first appeared as a rumor and was later listed on Amazon's French site as well as on the Best Buy and EA Store sites. It was later confirmed by an EA sales rep to a 'Featured Simmer' (See image) who has preordered the stuff pack from the EA Store and finally on June 28, 2010, same day as the official announcement, 'product features' were revealed by Amazon.
