The feeling I've always had in iRacing is great up until the limit, once you go over that limit it just seems unnatural, I keep going back to it (ok about 3 times in last 2 years) but it just feels wrong once the slip angle goes past a certain point and the FFB is severely lacking imo - I've tried to enjoy the driving in iRacing but I'm left disappointed everytime. Then there's the expense of it together with the fact that you only rent the content, once you stop paying subs you can't use anything you've previously paid for.
Yes the online racing is 2nd to none but you're paying a lot for that experience, plus people are obsessed with SR so quite often won't go for that overtake for fear of making a contact, I've had plenty of close door to door moments through several consecutive corners in AC in random public servers.
Have you heard of Sim Racing System and Minorating on AC? SRS is a little plugin where different races are organised on the hour every hour with stats recording performance and safety rating, real names are used and the racing is a lot cleaner than your average public server. Minorating is a server plugin that monitors collisions and grades you according to your driving, then servers can restrict entry to only users with specified Minorating, public servers are a lot better when running MR at grades A or B
