Drove my first sims this weekend!
Oh man, I loved it. The only 'sims' I ever drove was a basic steering wheel and pedals hooked up to iRacing on my laptop.
This weekend I drove a Fanatec fancy system and a GPX with curved screen. I got hooked although my beer intake did not help lap times. I drove mainly the Glen which I know so well. I was really impressed with the physics.
So, now I'm looking into a system. Can you typically run iRacing, AC and RF all on the same hardware so you can drive a wider variety of tracks/cars?

I'm happy to share the setup I got from MicroCenter. You should head over to their store and check out the rig they have on the floor. You can do that at a reasonable price level. I have to find his name, but one of the guys who works at the Cambridge store is into sim racing and can give you some good recommendations too.

Hi and welcome to the addicting world of sim racing. I have been assisting guys/gals in getting all the necessary items to have a proper sim. I am the Pc builder for a few high-end turn-key businesses but I can still offer advice etc to those that want to DIY (most cost effective by a landslide). Let me know if interested in a PC and a friendly conversation on what parts to consider.
