Racing sim setup

I've been thinking of setting up a racing rig with a spare pc, anyone out there race seriously in Iracing? Is it worth it?

Do you already have a racing wheel? If you don't then that is the first step. Next would be to buy or make a cockpit. You could probably buy one used on craigslist, or just buy new. I would rather build one because you can build it around you, put everything where itll be comforable for you.

iRacing is every cent worth.

But as BgG286 said, you need proberly a Wheel as first part.

Then you can go on to buy more stuff

I planning on getting g27 with a few mods and build the rimotech rig with triple 24", I figure that's the cheapest way to do it right. I wish I could try a sim rig before investing

Sometime within the next week or two, I'm gonna build my cockpit. Hopefully I'll have my G25/7 by then. I'll probably post it in here if this thread is still active.

Holy shit. I just realized how amazing racing games woud be with the oculus rift and a steering wheel.

For sure would be nice to see it. I'm going to wait a bit, just planning stuff out. I'm not ready financial yet.

I'm going to pick up a wheel and try iracing for a month, If i like it i'll keep the wheel and start building. If i don't i'll return it.

Just in case anybody is wondering the logitech G27 is really good :)  

 Have had it since christmas and haven't regretted buying it when playing GT5 and even test drive on PS3 to Grid 2 and iRacing on pc. Make sure you have a comfortable seating position on your desk if you don't have a sim setup and you will be able to start having fun! :) i think the logitech wheels also come with a free month of RFactor or something like that...
