Useless and Xenophobic Community
Update July 2023: Apparently higher tier players can request to go to lower leagues, which in a sense is fine, however this game is solely based on historical data giving them advantages. The issue is when they go all the way back to rookie and have 10+ seasons of data and win every race taking away what fun this game has. I find the game highly intriguing, lots of depth as far as the business and technical side of racing. Would be an awesome game if it wasn’t for the terrible community that’s around it. If you search or ask for help the prominent term is FOBY or “Figure it out by yourself”. Even with non-competitive questions, you post something in the forum and you get chastised by half the responses, then the other half is people arguing amongst themselves. Very xenophobic and cliquish which makes it hard to join teams and also get anything useful from the community, which is how they have the game structured. It does have a tutorial and wiki to give you the basics but not enough for anyone with limited knowledge of the engineering side of racing would be able to play effectively. They encourage you to join a team or ask in the forum which are both pretty terrible tasks, which is disappointing because the game/simulation itself is rather fun.
