The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A methodical, high-pressure simulation where every pit stop and tire choice feels like a real race-deciding moment.

What players say

Players like the race replay mode and realism, especially Ferrari-related frustration. Many find it too easy to dominate within one season. Reviews are split: some prefer the balance of 2023 over the newer 2024, while others say the newer version is better.
