I've always loved a good, solid career mode and PCars was the closest thing I'd had to a Gran Turismo or Forza of any kind (don't flame me... i didn't know any better at the time).I loved AC from the outset; but did find it quite to be a hot lap simulator. the physics were good, but at the time of purchase i didn't really know anything about online MP racing so i felt somewhat letdown by the structure of progression offered.I persisted with PCars and A/C kind of took a back seat. It had a lot going for it, and i admit that i was able to sink 90 hours of predominantly single player racing into it. Dynamic lighting, weather events, a good spread of vehicles etc. but there was something in the physics dept that i couldn't quite put my finger on that never immersed me the way A/C did.For all early access reviews I've read/seen on youtube the physics and tire modelling is greatly improved and i have to admit i'm likely to go down the rabbit hole again (though this time not at the expense of AC).Figured I'd ask if anyone else is considering giving it a shot?

I had spent nearly a year away from sim racing waiting for the bloody thing too. It was more than just disappointing that it turned out to be such a pile of poo. (I used to race in an rF league with the guy that that went on to do the tyres for Pcars.)I've doubled down on more disappointment as I have already ordered Pcars2. Here's hoping I'm pleasantly surprised. Logged -Track limits- is a Toxic Meme.I'm so smart, my IQ is at the very top of the bell curve.

But will most likely get it anyways. Also prefer to wait a bit nowadays and get it cheaper on g2a or the like.

But that is just my humble opinion I know Mael; don't judge me. I grew up on consoles and didn't know any better I was never really introduced to MP gaming until a few years back (thank you bf3). until then MP gaming was playing with friends, not random interwebs people lol. The time frames i had to play also meant that true MP wasn't really an option, so i tended to stick with games where i could not control my start and end times.
