A gorgeous, content-rich racing sim with great weather and career mode, best with a wheel. Skip it if you use a gamepad or keyboard, hate bad AI, or want online play.
Great for
Wheel owners and VR racers who want a deep offline career with dynamic weather
Main risk
Aggressive AI and twitchy handling, especially on pad or keyboard; delisted with dead online
