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.

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.
