£20 in the UK. I still have the 90s onwards seasons to play in Formula Legends (and the FE stuff), so it'll have to wait until I've finished that lot. One cartoony game at a time.
 
Yeah, it’s cute. Just did the initial qualifying test to progress. Jumped in Free Play to try the AMG DTM. Cool tracks and the vehicle variety is good. The trucks should be fun.
 
Still no announcement about a server browser/player matching which is very disappointing.
 
I wouldn’t expect many updates going forward. The dev founders have passed the game off to iRacing and sacked all their staff.

Sounds like it was the plan all along.
 
This is disappointing, as it pretty much shows iRacing considers the console market to be second tier at best, and slapping their name on one-and-done games like this isn't going to drive more people to go get an iRacing subscription like they apparently think it is. Just plain wasted potential.

I started this tonight. I can see the connection back to Circuit Superstars. But unlike Circuit Superstars there is a lot more just bashing and chaos from the AI. I had seen that in a lot of the videos I watched before buying. I only did the first three series of career, Fiat 500, Touring Car and Formula Junior. The bashing got much worse as I got to Formula Junior so I expect as cars get faster the bashing will increase. I liked the idea of the chase cam perspective but the negative is that you can't see where the AI is coming from until they have crashed into you.

I like the real world tracks. I think I will like the cars as I move along. The one thing I really don't like is this building of garages, engine shops, etc., etc. But it seems like you are forced into this as I tried to get into the Formula Junior series still having that original shack of a garage and there was a -25% reduction of prize money as I was over the capacity of my garage or something like that so I had to build another one. I do not like doing things like this in games. I want to race, not build infrastructure.

I started on Pro level. But there was no qualifying, I just got put to the rear of the field or close to the rear. Is that because of the difficulty level? Do higher levels come with qualifying? Or was it because those were sprint races and qualifying comes with the longer races?
