@thiago_ssjHe's agreeing with you on the reasons you laid out, it is you that's failing to see his point - how those particularities of a street circuit + Baku's layout with heavy braking events makes it even harder to deal with when playing with a controller.
Anyway you must be new here. Wish you really meant it as a joke to suggest more "arcadish games" for him: it's actually funny that a gamer would recommend the simpler driving experience of arcade titles for someone that has held a real life track record at Brands Hatch 🤣
