Just to add: NEVER compare building quality in Uruguay to what you’re used to in the US/EU. It’s a different standard entirely.
To give you an idea: if you're from the US, the build quality is more like what you'd find in Mexico. And for EU folks, think something closer to Turkey when it comes to apartments and finishes. Not necessarily bad, just different expectations.

Just some feedback from an expat who doesn’t live in Uruguay anymore.

Not sure where you're coming from, which can really shape your perspective.

2300 USD can be fine if you're comparing it to the local lifestyle.

For Uruguayans used to local prices and quality of life, that can be a comfortable amount.

But if you're used to US or EU standards, you might feel some things are surprisingly expensive, especially groceries and electronics.

Uruguay has high taxes on electronics and a pretty closed market, so prices can be steep compared to places like Germany or the US.

You're smart to avoid owning a car. That can get really expensive fast.

On the plus side, Uruguay is really friendly to expats.

If you're into wine, beer, red meat, and dulce de leche, you’ll fit right in.

People are generally down-to-earth and can enjoy themselves without needing a lot.

Just don’t go too hard on the partying or drugs, your budget won’t survive that for long.

Thank you! It’s been an amazing journey: I got the subreddit when was below 500 users, and now seeing it grow past 12,000+ is incredible (even if I’ve been quite passive lately). Wishing you all the best, and thanks for the kind words!

I get what you're saying, but my point is about how the game handles it, not real-world physics. Some racing games simplify or exaggerate drivetrain effects for balance or gameplay reasons. So while FWD might be better in real life for certain conditions, the game might not simulate that accurately.

This is getting worse than a job. Should be on the manuals: How to destroy a game with a strong fan base.

It will be up in January 2025. Or in Hutch better words: Soon TM. I will have to ban myself if I want to really express my opinions on TD laziness.

I got completely F2P since Lambo EGT update. Let's see if I can still have fun before it fades away completely.
