VIP not working

[Chris5626]

Official response seems to be this:

@Nitro Glitter

VIP Unlock flow

• You should get the crown flair when you boot the game or after you have bought the VIP entitlement (if this does not happen you will need to reboot your game).
• The double race credits should kick in on the very first race you ever do properly that has a reward screen at the end.
• The House, cars, clothes, emotes, car horn unlocks after you qualify for the Autumn season and complete the Tarn Hows event again (after the autoshow unlocks).
• The VIP cars are added to your garage automatically.

The fact that someone had to post this explanation kinda suggests that the game could and should have done a better job explaining it.
