re: iRacing v. Gran Turismo v. Forza

Just from a barrier to entry perspective if I'm mostly interested in the cars on something like Gran Turismo, I probably stick with that.

If you want to try a bunch of different series, iRacing is a TON of fun and you can really deep dive into that world if you want to.

I liked Forza more than GT in my experience, but I have a playstation now so I'll be getting GT. Both are great games.

Thanks for the response.

I am not a gamer at all, but I have always enjoyed racing video games (when I have played them) and am a big racing junkie. I just want to drive the cars on tracks I know and/or like. I'm interested in all major US racing series (F1, IndyCar, NASCAR) and the ability to drive on tracks I see on TV would be really cool, regardless of the cars I can choose from.

What would a decent iRacing setup look like? That game looks incredibly detailed and immersive. I think I can get a good GT7 setup for about $1,500 (including buying a Playstation).
