It had so much potential, including how damn well it was tuned for controller play, but the insanely bad optimization on PC, lack of content and overall soul, and repetitive gameplay loop really turned me off. Especially because you HAD to do practice laps, even on tracks you've already done before. Just lemme jump into the race already, jeez!

I ended up refunding it on Steam and used the money to buy games that were actually fun and functional instead.

If I were you, I'd stick with Horizon. If you really want more sim stuff, Gran Turismo 7 is better even with some of its BS, you can also nab Assetto Corza for insanely cheap since it goes on sale practically all the time.
