This is the game that has stopped me from renewing my yearly iRacing sub.

Simply put, everything this game does, it does better than iRacing.
Offtracks are mostly intuitive and make sense.
The license system feels much less frustrating to be put up against, without being any easier than iRacing.
The tyre model, FFB, and physics feel top notch. GT3's feel really planted and communicative. You can push them and slide them around a little without it feeling icy. I've never really had a spin or a slide that felt unwarranted.

The online lobbies are currently very populated. I race in the global 'off-peak' timezone, and still get half a dozen splits in each event.


I don't agree with the DLC model in practice, however I know that this is quite a niche market to begin with, and it can be very costly to develop a simulator with the level of accuracy they have.
While I don't agree with it, I can see why they may be compelled to release DLC while still in early access.


The TL:DR is that this game is much less frustrating than other titles, feels better, looks better, and sounds better, with a great online system to boot.

After spending 3 hours getting the sim to work properly with my equipment (Fanatec DD1, Heusinkveld, triple 27s) and 1 hour driving, I went to play online. Turns out I can't as I have to buy the DLC for the daily race, or pay for Race Control pro to race in an online championship.

The game is in early access FFS, there should not be paid DLC yet as the game isn't even close to ready for a 1.0 release.

This is just a £28.99 demo that allows you to buy DLC. I'm surprised they don't charge you for each setup change you make.

I thought the physics would make it worth the pain, but nope. Even after spending hours getting my setup to work properly, the FFB still feels terrible on a Fanatec DD1. It's really notchy/rough and the only way I can resolve it is to numb the FFB using smoothing. It feels like the tyres are all flat, in every car, regardless of setup.

Back to iRacing, ACC, and AMS2 for me. I'll be requesting a refund for this pile of garbage but I doubt I'll get one after spending hours on getting it working. Maybe in a few years it'll be worth it if MSG can somehow stay in business with their financial problems, and hold on to the licence.

The game is top notch but very expensive IMO. You get all 2023 season content. Now with GT3 DLC you hardly have any selection of cars in the base game other than the free DLC Mclaren.

I honestly beleive for the price they are asking they need to add more GT3 cars and tracks. Asking people this much money doesn't justify the base game.

The simulation in this game is top notch, I have not experienced such realism before in any racing game. The hybrid cars are just on another league, the sound, ambience all top notch.

The game is pure high quality, but for the price they are asking they need to add more content.

I will recommend this game for final release with more content and will wait for it to come out of early access. I will recommend games like ACC or automobilista 2 for now.

This game needs to add the DLC pack 3 cars to the base game owners. The sell the another pack with tracks as pack 3.
