This game blew me away. There is quite simply no game that makes your efforts pay off more.
--Sound is close to perfect; every track noise, gearing and revving is as good as you hope it would be. --Graphics are for the most part awesome. The cars' inside and outside are very realistically modelled. Everything important has been animated in a very stunning way. --The controls are the masterpiece of this masterpiece. Every car is highly individual and through your steering wheel (if it's good) you feel every bump in the road. It feels as realistic as can get and that makes it so wonderful to make that perfect line. Disadvantages
--Could be difficult for people new to sim racing. The driving school helps a bit to solve this, though.
--Bugs. Here and there in the game, you notice that something strange happens (an opponent disappears, the car can fly into nothing when you crash it)
--The setup system. This game has a highly advanced system for setting up your cars chassis settings. Unfortunately, there is no information what so ever about what does what in the setup and because of this, setting your cars chassis up properly becomes time consuming and very hard. --You can't play it without a steering wheel (unless you like to crash into walls)
Verdict
None of these disadvantages, however, matters at all once you are on the track and driving as hard as you can to improve your time or overtaking an opponent. It's quite simply amazingly fun and because of the number of cars, number of competitions and the depth of the controls; you never get tired of the game.
