Not even close to being real. Game screws up way to much and cars have random spells of stupidity that seems to want to allow anyone and everyone to make a come back as the game allows your car to act stupid, break stupid and drive stupid especially when you have a substantial lead. Not to mention there's no season or way to do anything other than drive cars pointlessly for hours on end just to barely make any credits. Tracks become boring and too many restrictions with not enough modifications at all to anything. Vehicle mods completely SUCK and should take a lesson from Need for speed games.
If this is their idea of a "real" Driving simulator then these developers and creators clearly have never been in a vehicle a day in their lives. Game is trash. After a month of owning it I'm bored and irritated with it. You don't accomplish ANYTHING. Make a season available to compete both offline and online. Make the cars more modifiable and customizable. Livery creator is absolutely annoying and one side of the car does the complete opposite of the other when using the exact same decal.
This game mediocre at best and anyone who thinks this game is real is fooling themselves. It's just another fake game with fake promises of nothing realistic other than some details in the tracks.
