I do think the game will be interesting. It is lacking in areas though. Still for Switch/PC I wish them best. I'll get around to it eventually.
But pushing licensed vehicles is a bit of a waste. Cool but I think the budget could have been better spent elsewhere to more modes/tracks and polish instead of car models/sponsors or whatever. I don't need real brands to have fun. Just a good physics model, modes, tracks and progression that's it.
Not fussed over fake or authenticity if it costs so much. I was fine with silliness like Sofas or just fake vehicles in Wreckfest, fair track layouts too.
