It is good

I have been playing this game for 100 Hours on steam and for over 400 hours on xbox. In my opinion this is the best F1 game you can get and it is well worth its price. The game is very good even without mods but there are some issues regarding the progression in the vanilla game as it gets way too easy after 2025 even on hard mode, i had do develop the car worse on purpose. Anyways i had great fun. If you decide to mod the game, using the data base editor is a must as you can make the ai much more competitive. I personally had the best experience using the extra hard research boost and ultralightweight parts mod in the database editor. Other mods i reccomend are visual mods such as liveries to switch things up from time to time. And also a must is the Realistic Racing mod as it makes overtaking much harder like in real life.

Ass, tried time and time to enjoy it as I like the idea of the game but the UI is confusing, hidden settings that you didn't know about will come back to bite you in the ass, the Race simulation part of the game is fun but if you want a more than 1 season manager expierence then this isn't the game.
