I've been having a great time with sim racing. Originally got into it to stay sharp in the off season and learn new tracks. I've had a blast in some of the races as well and even some oval races. I went fairly high end with a solid PC (specs below), rig, wheel and pedals. Build info below if that helps. Very happy at this point. We'll see what it translate to this year on the track with being my first year in a 991.2 Cup racing.

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.
