Hi all,
I am thinking about becoming a simulation racer, due to financial difficulties through karting. Karting is a sport that gets more expensive each year, which allows the rich to gain an advantage and some of the naturally-talented drivers to suffer.
Although iRacing is pretty expensive too, I'm sure it's cheaper than karting. My questions are:
- Is it worth the money? And how much would it cost on average?
-What PCs/specs are recommended etc, incl. the typical price of a recommended PC
-Are there any other sims that are perhaps better, perhaps to start off with etc?
-Is there currently a lot more drivers that tend to go the American route (Nascar, Indy & their tracks)
- Is a Driving Force GT wheel good enough?
- Is there a strong sense of realism, if so how realistic?
- Is there a significant difference between itself and GT5/F1?
I would like to take this seriously, instead of playing the likes of GT5 and F1 2012
Kinds regards,
adstomko
