Reasonable on 07 October 2011
Best racer - possibly. Best simulator? Not from my playtime so far,although it does a better job the F3 which is perhaps all you can ask.
Even with assists off cars don't respond as they should if you spin them, etc. and some tracks seem wider than they should vs real life. Will need to play more to form final opinion, but so far I'd say best racer and probably best balance for more casual player but not best sim.
Note I'm being strict (unlike a lot of reviews I've read) on what a simulator actually is.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
