We'll see what it translate to this year on the track with being my first year in a 991.2 Cup racing.

PC
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
GeForce RTX 3080 12GB video card
Triple 27" monitors (ASUS VG278QR 27” Gaming Monitor 165Hz Full HD)

Rig
Advance Sim Racing ASR 6

Wheel Base
Simucube 2 Pro with Simucube Tahko GT-21 wheel

Pedals
Heusinkveld Sim Pedals Ultimate+
Just wondering if you are still happy with everything you purchased in your system, I'm looking at building one very similar. Did you build your system yourself or was delivered assembled? Ty

If anyone is unsure about upgrading, I would suggest going to a sim lounge and trying out what they have and see if you like it. Local retailers will have demo units for you to try before you buy as well.

MicroCenter has really sharply increased the quantity and quality of sim gear they have in stock (e.g. SimuCube, SimLab, Cube Controls, Gomez, Moza (a quality budget brand), etc). Much of the equipment you think you'd have to mail order they actually have in stock. They also have a display sim rig that you can drive (at least the one in our area does), though you can't really sample different equipment on that rig.
