I can't see how the local weather or radio will consume any bandwidth at all!
When the game is launched, this info will be passed to each xbox playing as a one off piece of information.
This way everyone will be playing in the rain, sun, snow (snow - wow, that's a thought!).
The xbox will know what local radio to "switch on" based on the course, and it will most likely pre-loaded to play certain songs, and have certain DJ's speaking, just like PGR1. (As Jarandco said)
Now if the sun came out in London half way through the race, and that was relayed into the game, that would consume bandwidth, but I bet they won't be going that far!!
I guess the one area that will consume bandwidth, will be the damage system, if you smash the hell out of your or someone else's car, I'd expect all the players to see it - however this info will probably be just an extra byte every now and again, so I don't thing we have too much to be worried out!
