I'm guessing mta:sa dont have long to live at this rate, I do hope they include gamepad support in mta:dm soon cause I wont migrate without it. As for the race function in mta:dm... it rocks! I recently played som mta:dm on a race server and it had some common maps (apparently mta:sa maps works in mta:dm), it had ghost mode which was sweet, and the gfx seems to run more smoothly, and there is more eyecandy.
