That's a good deal, surathdp!
Have to say I've heard better things about Obutto than Playseat.
That said, the chassis is REALLY important to me (stability of the wheel, pedals and seat) so I have to have something more substantial than both of those, that's why I like the VisionRacer VR3 and Fanatec RS Cockpit so much.

Anyone have any first hand knowledge of this setup? I like how sturdy it looks, and the pricing isn't bad:

Rick, thanks for starting this thread, quite an eye opener. I am a dedicated Forza 4 Motorsports SIMer but I may just have to check IRacing based on all of the positive replies posted here.

One thing I'll add, that I personally take from iRacing (and sims in general, where the other "racers" are actual humans and not computer-generated AI) is racecraft. I find it helps me to keep my skills up (when to pass, when not to pass, how to pressure, how to resist pressure, etc). I try to keep the mindset that "this is real" and to avoid contact with cars or objects as if I would get hurt (or go broke) if I did. (Plus I don't want to ruin someone else's day...) I work on being aggressive while being clean, how to push without getting over my head, keep my focus, etc. In other words - I find it to be a good mental trainer.
