Distros typically require a FOSS license. The license status of vdrift data is unfortunately not very clear.

One idea I had was to modify the car/track updates downloader code to be able to download all data, so that we only have to ship the executable which is GPL.

Alternatively one could ship a really minimal data set known to be GPL compatible. One just would have to identify the cars and tracks that are safe and document it.
