Steam 'All Reviews'
Very Positive
Screenshots
The good
Considered by many as the best online Sim Racing experience
Extensive Content available (over 140 tracks and 160 cars @ 05/2025)
More a neutral: iRacing was heavily North-American content-orientated though this has been changing
The less good
Monthly subscription + individual DLC costs may not be affordable for all
Every piece of DLC is a one-off purchase (USD$11.95 or $14.95 per track for example)
Physics, Tyre Model and Handling are still improving
Netcode (car-to-car collision accuracy during multiplayer sessions) has been known to be poor
