Do you have a pedal and chair setup?

Logitech G923 came with the pedals. I bought just a standard stand, sorry can't recall the brand but they're easy to find. But the stand is made for the G923 wheel and pedals to be added to it. In fact, the stand I bought oddly I found on the Lowe's website lol.

I don't have a chair, just an office chair but I've been playing it more lately, so that investment is probably coming soon. And honestly, I can buy a comfy gaming chair that I imagine I can use as my office chair as well since I work from home.

Another thing that deters me from iRacing is the learning curve. It appears to be pretty intense, and I don't have that much time to devote to other hobbies.

Yea, kinda same for me, though I don't know too much about it. I've been playing on F1 for about a year and slowly removing assists. But I still simply cannot do laps in an F1 car around F1 tracks without gear assists or a racing line, that would just be really bad lol.

Just this version of F123, I've finally gotten used to turning off complete ABS and traction control. Baby steps!

I was legit going to post that, well done!

I mean if you want to get really competitive, sure there is a learning curve. But if you want to have fun and drive there are some pretty standard cars on simple tracks that you can drive no problem.

I only compete to win and be tGOAT, like Joey Votto.

Yea for sure, that will be the ONLY difference, surely not missing raw pace

My wife would murder me

barry made a compelling argument: How much would a track car cost to buy and maintain? Sim racing is multiples lower than that. If interest rates ever drop again and I can get a bigger house, you better believe I'm building something like barry.

I'm already there

And here is the wind tunnel allocation for the rest of the year.
The allocation was just before the mclaren upgrades which meant they were able to score more runs at Alpines expense.

Wind tunnel runs from 1 July to 31 December

Red Bull Racing: 201.6 runs (224 runs from 26 October)

Mercedes: 240 runs (down 16 runs)

Aston Martin: 256 runs (down 64 runs)

Ferrari: 272 runs (up 32 runs)

Alpine: 288 runs (up 16 runs)

McLaren: 304 runs (up 16 runs)

Alfa Romeo: 320 runs (up 16 runs)

Haas: 336 runs (unchanged)

Williams: 352 runs (down 16 runs)

AlphaTauri: 368 runs (up 16 runs)

Considering getting an Xbox, pedals, wheel, and chair (possibly an all-in-one setup).

Anyone wanna race? Dibs on Kevin Magnussen in the HAAS VF-23.
