I guess that is simply the result of the popularity with serious racers - a noob like me will take some significant seat time to acquire the level of experience I need to compete, which is not only realistic, but the way it should be. The only knock is that it is tough to get good online experience, which is really n eeded to race competitively.

You can even contribute to the community by designing your own car, crew, or even tracks if you really know what you are doing. There are a ton of mods available from lots of racers online to update the cometition to any year or series you can think of. The modeling is 4 years old but still holds up well. This simulator is far superior to the newer EA Sports version. He got a heck of a deal because I won the auction for $117, and the pricetag was $29.99. I tried NASCAR Simracing by EA Sports, but the majority of the quality online racers use NR2003, so I bought it from a guy who had it in his closet, unopened, for 4 years.

I bought this about a month ago to get into online racing.
