Makes total sense; way less costly in time and money, not to mention safer, and sim experience keeps getting better and better. Great to see Porsche jumping in with the Cup.

I’ve tried some of other people’s setups in the past that helped a lot. Also, the latest update (12/3?) has helped. The tire model gets better all the time.
Of course, I’ve spent >$1200 on my brake pedal, because that’s the most important component on the rig for me...
Just ran it last night at Sebring and then overlaid my data over Pumpelly’s and Faulkner’s real information.
I have a ways to go...

Tried Spa last night and basically snow plowed around for an hour despite trying all sorts of crazy stuff (1 bar in front and 5 in rear for example). Whereas I am usually a few tenths to a second off the aliens I was like 5 seconds off / watching those guys they are somehow getting their braking done in like half the distance and its hooking up at turn in. Guess its time to invest in VRS and do some overlays. Frustrating experience to say the least though!

A well set up 991 Cup is a delight to drive

Thats an expensive pedal, mine isnt cheap either - and work perfectly for just about every other car. Admittedly I have never driven a 991 Cup so maybe they suck in real life too, but its a totally numb and pushes at turn in versus skip barber, or miata, or an indy car, or even the global rally cross cars etc.

I just set up a ghetto rig (944 forum would be proud) with G29 3-piece controls, decent PC and HDTV.
Just trying to keep cars on the course with the lower coefficient of friction in Project Cars or Assetto Corsa. Feels like I went to ice driving school in an overboosted 930. :-/
