The verdict
A good-feeling simcade circuit racer with lots of cars and tracks, held back by weak AI, erratic penalties, online-only career and abandoned support. Skip it at full price or if you want a pure sim.
Great for
Controller or wheel players wanting a Gran Turismo-style circuit simcade on PC, bought on sale
Main risk
Dumb AI, random penalties and the always-online career, in a game that's no longer supported
