I get what you are saying, but if the car doesn't act like... you know... a car, then it's kind of hard to be attracted to the idea of retraining your years of experience driving them just for something nuanced. It actually felt like the more I knew about how cars handle, the WORSE I was doing in this thing... so maybe it wasn't so level a playing field?

Tangentially, there's also something to be said for the actual RACING aspect of online racing and how grippy they are or not. Cars that have loads of grip allow people to actually react when someone does something boneheaded, which is often. Any car with nuance (even the ones that actually are based on actual cars in reality) are super hard to actually race others with because any deviation from the rote practice required just to get the thing around the track at pace means you and likely they are going off road and likely into walls and/or each other.

I'm certainly not saying that every series should be GT cars or Formulas and the like... but maybe less of the wacky pre-80s automobiles on pre-60s tracks. I am finding that SRS's audience doesn't quite match such lofty sim racing goals.
