That's far too general a comment imo. The game is highly polished in
most important areas in fact The ommision of a good, intuitive manual with
an index is slack however. It only needs this and the hopefully small
problem of results for online races fixed and it is highly polished in fact.
The rest all seems perfectly logical to me.

If this thing had the 2 things mentioned above, a replay system the
equal or better of NR2003 AND weather, then apart from the oval racing for
NR2003, everyone on the planet would drop everything else and be racing
rFactor. Even without all that, I'd say even a lot of the GPL diehards will
jump on board when we see a few more tracks and mods.
