After a year of playing the game semi-regularly (I do end up putting more hours in on GT, but I also go through phases of playing nothing but PC2), I can say its now definitely the best simulation experience you can get on the consoles (sorry Assetto, I love you too). The driving experience is nearly always fantastic, the variety of cars and tracks always mean you can go and do something different should you want to, and whether you just want to drive what the game gives you setup-wise or really spend hours getting the tiniest details making the car perfect, it allows to enjoy yourself doing either.
PCars gets flak from sim-racing gatekeepers for some weird reason though, I think it stems from the first title being quite showy with its graphical style at the time and the issues with bugs that plagued the earlier stages of the game when released. That seemed to give the impression to the snobs that it wasn't 'serious' enough... which is a load of rubbish, and they can stick to their rFactor2 mods if they want, I'll keep coming back to this.
I saw a video of Keiichi Tsuchiya sliding a Group A Skyline round a damp Fuji the other day, so what did I do? I loaded up PC2, chose a Gr.A Skyline (Taisan livery as per Tsuchiya) and loaded a damp Fuji, and had a go myself... that's what it's so good at.
