I'm not necessarily looking for performance but simply the pleasure of the simulation, and there I found what I was looking for.
Some caveats concern the implementation, not always live up to the ambitions.
The most striking example, these are of course some very ugly textures that seem straight out of a PS2 version that are wickedly task alongside other elements limit photorealism. It's quite bizarre and in fact, it is perhaps the only game where I could see such differences in graphics.
The B-Spec mode is sometimes criticized, but personally I happen to turn it to unlock credit and acquire new cars.
