And out of those, the ability to set tire wear and fuel use independently is HUGE for me. Also being able to assign gears manually means I can finally use my TH8RS instead of the connected CSR shifter on my wheel.

Those are big, big improvements for me.

One race at Phoenix in my career and I can tell you it's already miles ahead of the console version

How so? I raced at Phoenix in my career and watched the AI wreck almost every lap in turn 3, and they'd stop in T2. Wasn't a lot of fun, to be honest.

Then I went to Vegas, and in a 27 lap race, I had nine cautions. You figure each caution is about 2 or 3 laps, and you get the picture--I had zero racing because the AI kept wrecking themselves, and it ended up with 2 or 3 GWC attempts and went into the 30+ lap range.

I was too frustrated to continue and flipped it off after that, but I'll go back to it with an open mind later, because those weren't impressive first experiences.
