I have a pet peeve when it comes to simracing content, mainly one or two off cars that have no real competition. Examples being the RF2 GT500 Nissan, AC in many classes, the R3E GTE class (only the Porsche), and iRacing TCR.
With tracks, you can run any car on them, and it stands alone without needing anything extra, a track is just a track. But with cars, one or two offs bug the hell out of me. AC stock content seriously struggles with this, as did rF2 pre-S397.
What is the point of adding a car without having any sort of suitable opposition for it? Outside of single make online races and hotlapping, racing against 20 of the same car tends to get stale. For me, having 2 cars in a class is a minimum, ideally 3 or more, unless there are only 1-2 cars in that class IRL(Such as Porsche Cup or Super Trofeo)
As much as people don't like fictional cars, I'm all for them even as placeholders for real cars when not enough Real McCoys can be added. Whether it is a real production car that was never in race guise (R3E Gumpert and Koenigsegg in the GTR1 class) or a fictional approximation of a formula car or a prototype(AMS2 Vintage F1 cars)
Cars without proper dance partners usually just sit around for me, as I have no use running GTE or GT1 cars when there is only 1 car in that category. The more cars in a particular class IMO, the better, especially when they are brands/cars under-represented or obscure (Lister anyone?).
Mods go a ways to shore up this issue, if you can sort through the chaff to find the wheat. But in titles without that option, this usually just ends up with cars I probably won't race, no matter how great they might be.
What do you think?
