Alex I’m in two minds with that tbh.
I definitely think it’s ripe for abuse from the company itself, but that financial commitment should be a good filter for the “let’s drive backwards” crew, plus I feel like I need I need to make that kind of commitment in order to stick at it.
In some ways it’s no different to paying match fees / annual memberships for sports clubs, and I spent a lot of money on that stuff over the years.
I don’t even mind the per car / track stuff too much. If ACC had taught me anything it’s that picking a single car and track and learning it well can be much more satisfying than jumping from track to track every five minutes.
All that said, I’ve never tried it so it’s all supposition right now. I’ll do some research and maybe start a subscription at the end of the month 🙂
