Pros
Pro Immersive driving conditions
There is an included slider to adjust the weather conditions for each track allowing the user to drive in whatever weather they like. This can be done to recreate certain settings or just to experience how each track will play depending on what weather was chosen.
Pro Full on simulation
Players need to have a deep understanding of racing mechanics and all that can be adjusted in order to take full advantage of the game, as driving is so realistic that it will take a seasoned racer to do well from the get go.
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 Low selection of cars
In comparison to other popular racing sims, netKar Pro does not have a very large collection of cars to race with, which is pretty limiting to the user and leads to boredom.
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.
