The reason there aren't any unique game mechanics is because the  rules are almost the same as GT and WEC racing. Only thing that can be considered unique is that many weekends have 2 sprint (shorter) races, but there's also the Bathurst 1000 endurance race. Only way monkeyscould emulate that is some tiers could have 2 shorter cups, and others have 1 longer cup.

The V8 Supercars are built along the same lines the NASCAR cars are - based upon a stock car and having way more HP than grip. Both are heavy cars that are best suited to go in a straight line. It's makes for a totally different experience from racing WEC prototypes, but to me that's the beauty of racing. Some series are on the cutting edge of technology, some have incredible handling, others have tons of power. I love having all types of cars in the game, but definitely prefer the motorsports angle vs. having to complete V8 Supercar series to get to race the Lambo Performante or WEC LMP cars.

That makes sense - thanks. I have an older (E46) M3 and love driving, but don't watch motor sports at all, so anything that depends on some real-world appreciation is going to be lost on me. it's good to know there is more to it!
