No text review can fully explain how great iRacing is. It transcends being a game into a full on simulator / sport. Not cheap for a game, but cheap compared to owning a racecar and taking it to the track. Community is second to none, racing is incredible, time investment needed is years.

There's no other game I could recommend to replace this one if you're really into competitive, (mostly) serious sim-racing against real people. Though, as much as I enjoy this game and acknowledge its technical achievements, the moderation of everyday racing leaves a bit to be desired.

The game's way of auto-moderating races is extremely harsh, docking you points for wrecks that were completely out of your control because the system can't/wont determine who was actually at fault for an accident. It's not really an issue once you're used to driving and can kinda predict what typical drivers will do, but half of the community is comprised of oval-racing, which makes keeping a high safety rating almost impossible when you're basically gambling on if you get caught up in two big crashes every race.

Best sim on the market hands down, only downside is the cost.
