First, it's simply a challenge to start this boy. You have to install a couple mods so it launches properly. I've done that. Checkmark. Next, setting up your wheel through an in-game wizard is not possible. It doesn't allow you to complete the last step, so you have to go manually through all tabs and reassign controls yet again. It's the clumsiest wheel setup.

Alright, how about picking a car for a race? Well, you have an incoherent menu of cars, many of which are displayed as unrecognized models -- they are covered with car covers. To make matters worse, some of the licenses have been revoked (BTCC), and there's no certainty that it won't happen again; so you might lose what you've paid for. Want to adjust difficulty? At low difficulty, the AI doesn't even start off from the grid! Want to exit or restart a race? Good luck with that, because once you press escape, you can't click on anything (and no, the option to allow the usage of cursor in menus doesn't work either).

I've managed to muster some patience only once to see what the "glorious" tire model is. The best I can describe it, it's akin to riding a bicycle where you feel very accurately what the wheels are doing and where they are facing. However, just like with the bicycle, where you don't feel what the frame is doing, in the similar manner you don't feel the car's weight and suspension at all. It's somewhat of a surrealistic feeling in quite a bad way.

For all the trouble you have to go through to set this brick of a software up, and then to constantly fight the game again and again, I don't think it's worth neither your time nor money, of which the developers are asking unjustifiably a lot for.

There's AMS2 for a better single-player experience, and iRacing for competitive people. Both of them will be at least worth the money and the hassle.
