I actually pre-ordered it back when it was announced since it wasn’t a full price game and I enjoyed the show (despite Clarkson’s worst automotive journalism in his career) The whole concept of several new levels being available the second an episode went up was awesome. Unfortunately the actual execution just sucked. It plays like a kart racer for some reason and half the levels are the same track but in reverse or as a different host. That said, I kinda want to get the Mythic Achievement…

Yeah it’s a real shame how huge his ego got around season 8 of the Top Gear revival. He was actually quite good on the classic series and his own show, Clarkson’s Car Years, is proper automotive journalism and he’s quite knowledgeable in terms of history. The he asked BBC 7 not to re-air Max Warp, a doctor who radio drama, since it made the parody of him a villain, punched a producer, and as of 2021 still didn’t understand why he got fired for it.

He also said electric car batteries have a 3 year lifespan… which reiterated in 2018. 7 years into the Nissan Leaf, 5 years intro the Tesla Model S, 2 years into the Model 3, and even the Chevy Bolt was out by then (I’ve got a 2019 Bolt. It has lost a total of 10 miles of range in that time, meaning I’m only paying <$5 for 230~ which ain’t bad considering how fair it’s gone)

But yeah I also pre-ordered it back in the day. Forced myself to get through the first 4 episodes of season 3 and haven’t played it since. The multiplayer was so dull. You’d think it’d be a bit more like Project Cars 1 or something like that. But you’re right about it being a kart race, even has item boxes. And it’s got the same problem as new-era Forza where it looks like a lot of cars, until you realize there 5 fifth gen mustangs, multiple of the same Challenger generation, etc.
