Pros
Pro Focused on Demolition Derby
Often an overlooked genre similar games have not been released since earlier Flatout titles( of which the devs are the same as this title), so this thing really stands out from the crowd.
Pro Excellent car damage
Soft-body car damage physics system with fully deformable car damage, meaning that the cars will react to damage in a very tangible, convincing way.
Pro Unlimited replayability
Once the subscription is paid there is no set path for the user. Everything is open to the player meaning they can choose what to do and where to go. This makes for a completely open-ended title that allows for a fresh experience anytime the player wants.
Pro Unique community rules
There is an actual sanctioning body for the game called FIRST that keeps players in line making for a non toxic community that behaves professionally. If a player races aggressively or continually breaks the rules of the rod their license will receive infractions that will soon label that person as one to stay away from.
Cons
Con Still in Early Access
Bugs can be found and not everything is finished. Game is in playable state though.
Con Expensive as it requires a subscription plus additional costs
iRacing requires a subscription that starts at $6/mo. as well as has costs for extra cars and tracks. Overall an expensive game to play for those that want to experience all of the content on offer.
Con Difficult to play with a gamepad
The controls for the game are very precise and in being so is best played with a driving wheel with petals and a shifter. Trying to play with a gamepad does work but will really inhibit the players controls especially if they are competing in online races.
