This game has practically zero Steam integration.

You need to register a separate account for the game, and launch it through your web browser.

Beyond the rookie league (which you need to get out of in order to enjoy the game), all cars cost money, and all tracks cost money, and you need to buy at least 1 car and probably around 5-8 tracks, racking up a cool $100 in addition to the subscription fees.

If you're OK with all of this, though, the online racing experience is the best you can get.

The graphics, however, are surpassed in most areas by other games (though iRacing has a lot of great trackside detail others lack), and the physics are... weird. The game updates its physics quite often, but not across all cars at the same time so some cars behave better than others. During loss of grip, the feedback in this game is quite poor, so it's more difficult to counter than other games. I had to use real world scale FOV and headtracking in order to improve this.

If you really want a super hardcore online racing simulator, I do recommend iRacing. But not through Steam.

(If you want better graphics, just as good if not better physics and laser scanning, but a bit worse online, I highly recommend getting Assetto Corsa instead, which will also save you a lot of money.)

can't argue with any of your points, but for anyone that wants to get serious about sim racing against real live humans (allegedly), there really is no other option. I've dropped an embarrasing amount of cash on iRacing and don't regret a penny of it.

You don't need to purchase it through Steam. If you buy it through the official site (which is cheaper anyways) you can get a code to add iRacing through Steam.

This game is not looking to make its front page steam either. This is one of the most serious racing sims available. I do understand the car packs/maps packs being a shitty part of it.. but games that give you everything usually fall short on content and simply do not deliver quality content. This game as been out for many years and just recently bothered to show up on steam, not for stream purposes, but mostly to show those who claim Asseto Corsa is the greatest thing, that there is something better out there but at a price. This game in particular is aimed at the high end die hard sim racer not the average "look I got a G27 racing wheel thanks mom" audience.

Spot on. This game is a money pit. If you purchased all of the available tracks and cars you would spend over $1000. I could never justify dumping that much money on a game. On top of that after you spent that much money, if you don't continue to give them more money each year you cant even use the $1000 worth of content you've already purchased. Stay away!

Several people have commented "once you own it, you can play it forever".

Please stop saying that.

Once you stop paying for your subscription, your purchased content gets locked away forever, until you start paying again. As of this writing, there is no offline testing. If this changes in the future, I will delete this comment as well.

Your review is very good.
All i did was read the first sentence, then i got interested and read the second sentence "separate account" "and launch through your web browser".
After being impressed with how bad this game could be i kept reading through, and then you say that it requires microtransactions to get the full experience AND a subscription fee?
yes, all the bad habits of the gaming industry inside a single game is impressive, individually they can be excused in some cases, i am just impressed with this combination.

You can easily get hours of fun out of this without putting more money in it than subscription.

Beyond that you can tactic what tracks or cars to buy since you only need to finish few races in a series per season to get free ingame credit. Although that perk kicks in outside the rookie class.

And their system has all the bells and whistles anyways.

Like every Ubisoft game, that forces you to use uPlay even though you got'em through Steam.
