This game is just ok, too many bugs, but I do really enjoy it when it actually works.

Once you get used to AI's spinning the hell out of you and know how to race them, it's not that bad. I had no crashes, no bugs, apart from spotter repeating himself couple times, playing on Windows 11. Graphics are great, best looking NASCAR game you can find for PC at the moment, presentation is there, soundtrack is mostly sweet, but there's no car tuning options, only 1 stable or loose slider, Heat 5 wins in this department, also in AI department and in difficulty settings department, in Ignition you can't change things like tire wear etc, but still, playing with controller and like I said, couple of races you'll get used to everything. I don't know what kind of mess this was upon release, but honestly, It's pretty ok now.
