A GT3-only simulator rather than a broad racing game: tyre temperatures, evolving track conditions and force feedback that real drivers single out as the most communicative available. The narrowness is the trade — the base roster is small enough that most players end up buying DLC, and the public lobbies are policed by a safety rating that punishes you for being crashed into.
