Look at the disparity between recommended and required.

They're basically saying, you should really have a $300 processor to play this game, but a $50 processor that you bought a few years back will run it.

Putting ads on the cars seems kind of wrong to me, for a game. It's one thing for racers in real life to use advertisements on their cars to support themselves as they pretty much all do, but we're going to be paying the full price of a game for this, rather seeing it for free on television. Hoping this thing will allow simple modding like texture replacements, but I'm kind of doubting that will happen since the devs want you to see the ads.

You can use the excuse of "realism" all you want (the game would play just fine and be just as immersive and fun without them), but in the end you're just getting greedy.
