I was just wondering if anyone has tried this yet and is it worth it? Looks like it's around $80 and then they have more addon's? And I'm not sure you can use a steering wheel for the PC version.

I have it. I’ve been playing with my G 29 wheel. Once I got the wheel settings right, I’ve been having a blast with the gameplay. I haven’t jumped into career mode or anything like that but it’s been fun making laps. The AI is very fun to race against.

There are some negatives however. For example

1) There are no DNF’s. If you wreck bad you can repair back to 100%. The AI will wreck and often not pit and maintain their position.

2) AI logic needs some tweaking. They don’t pit when they should, or pit when they shouldn’t. It’s easy to manipulate the game to get yourself up front strategy wise. So you almost need to just do what they do to make it fair.

:relievedface: few other minor things with the AI. They can absolutely fly getting in and off of pit road. Or they absolutely destroy the player on restarts.

4) obviously not as many paint schemes as NR2003. Most drivers have 2 or 3 schemes if you get the DLC. 23X1 for some reason only have one each.

For me it’s been worth the money. It’s fresh. And I suspect iracing should be able to tweak some of the AI logic stuff. They have been very quick in putting out patches. The game has lots of potential.

I give it 7.5 out of 10 for now. But I bet they improve upon it if not this year, future iterations.

Thanks for the reply.
So, I'm taking it that you don't to buy tracks and cars for the game? What about setups? Do you have to setup the car yourself? Or do they have some in game to try? Did cost around $80? Are there addon's to buy?

I’m in Canada. I bought the gold edition it was around $100.00 CAD. The gold edition gives you the season pass which is all the DLC ( add ons). The DLC gets dropped monthly in October, November and December. You can also buy

the DLC separately on a monthly basis but you would spend more in the long run.

There are setups. You can choose from neutral all the way up to 100% tight or 100% loose. You can also tweak the setups. There are online tutorials for this on YouTube.
