Well I would assume those courses won't come up for selection when you're asked to pick a track in online races, even if you pick 'random'. Nintendo's not going to let people play new stuff that you need to buy, for free, while others do have to pay for it.

So everyone who actually gets the DLC can't race online on the new courses? That would essentially make it useless.

Maybe they'll just make it so people who have the DLC can't randomly matchup against people who don't, or have a separate section on the online menu for DLC-enabled gameplay.

That would make sense, yes. Anyway, I don't see them letting people who haven't purchased the DLC, use it.
