How much?!

Grim... wrote:

Yeah. That's $12 for the car plus $12 for each track I don't already own (10 of the 12), minus a 20% discount for buying six or more items at once. Plus a monthly subscription (I'm currently paying $3 a month but that's a reduced rate).

I've just obtained my Class D licences in both road and oval racing by using the cars and tracks included with the sub, but need to splash out if I want to get my Class C licence. My poor wallet.

That sounds a lot like the sort of pricing model you vehemently hate.

It's pay-to-compete, not pay-to-win. Buying a different car isn't going to make me suddenly better than those who don't - it just means I'm able to participate in different series. Unlike freemium mobile games where the game mechanics are skewed towards rewarding the 'whales' who pump tons of money into the ecosystem.

Plus now I've bought a load of tracks I'm able to use them in other series too. For example I only need to buy one car and one track to be able to compete in the NASCAR Super Late Model series in Class C now.

Pretty sure you can't win without competing

If I was happy racing at D licence level I wouldn't have to pay anything other than my sub. There's plenty of series to race. I just want to see how high I can compete.

Also sim racing is much much cheaper than ACTUALLY racing. As well you know.

One of my friends made some good cash playing that, and got to meet proper drivers, etc.

Sadly no. It's some cars from the first game.

It's the only sim where you can guarantee good racing (once you get out of Rookie class where all the demolition derby racers are) and lots of events every single day. Plus the handling is incredible. Pricey, but worth it.

I believe that's IndyCar on road courses, but I might be wrong. Very impressive.
