25 euro for two tracks + two cars and another game I wouldnt be interested in. No thanks. It looks good and feels good but not worth what he is asking.

€25 is a bit steep for the content really, especially considering this is only and alpha build and isn’t anywhere near netKar Pro or iRacing physics wise. For that you could get near enough 3 months on iRacing or an S2 license for LFS or netKar Pro and they have more higher quality content than this has. A nice concept but needs work still :)
