I kinda get it, though I haven't seen that Netflix series that half the at-least-casual F1 fans I know claim to have gotten them into the current product. I'm not going to begrudge anyone their enthusiasm over an area of motorsports I can't really get into (cough, cough, wow that's a lot of tire smoke from all these drift cars, cough), it can just be a nuisance to see multiple people trying to be the first one with the latest hot thing. At least for me, AC's whole appeal is that if a form of motorsport was ever a big deal within the last 100 years, there'll be someone out there recreating the cars and tracks it all happened with, often to an extent that actual game developers wouldn't even notice much less put actual time and effort into. If Forza and Gran Turismo didn't exist, would we even have any mainstream games where you could drive a Group C or Can-Am or Le Mans car that was raced 10 or 20 or 30 years before most gamers were born?Modern F1 cars leave me as stone cold as modern F1 does in general. I'd rather watch one race from the 1980s than a whole season from the modern era, and much rather drive an analogue MP4/4 with manual gears than some soulless monstrosity with flappy paddles and more computing power than NASA. I really don't understand the appeal.
