You're entirely correct. I remember reading such good things in the mid 90s or early 2000s about a game called Grand Prix Legends, which had a whole handful of vintage cars, tracks, and was a pretty good retrospective simulation; I never played it, and I don't think that we'll ever see such a game ever again, even though today's technology makes that very possible.

Meanwhile, Project Cars 2 is an incredible game through and through. I love the open wheelers and have already spent countless hours racing around in VR. It's a brilliant title.

Not so interested in Bathurst, but it is a nice track to actually race around, as opposed to watching on TV.
