Hello, I'm playing Assetto Corsa and Iracing. Are there people here which playing as well ?

I've watched a bit of iracing on Twitch, it seems interesting enough but I don't have the combination of time/cash/facilities to make it worth actually playing

I am! Got into it just recently with the quarantine and watching F1, Nascar, etc racing online.

My setup is pretty humble at the moment, TMX Pro, GT Omega Stand and a camping chair. Playing iracing almost exclusively.

A video of Carlos Sainz’s iRacing setup. A lot of stream highlights with him and Lando Norris and other legit F1 drivers too.

Those guys spend more on their sim rig than most people do on their car.

I haven't had the luck of running into any big names on iracing yet (low irating probably doesn't help), but I know Sainz was on constantly up until the F1 restart. Now Fernando Alonso is on constantly, I guess trying to get track time in for his rumored F1 return.

Their setups basically use off the shelf components though. Really goes to show how far racing sims have come in terms of realism and accessibility.

The biggest expense, for me personally, is just the rent on the space the cockpit would end up occupying in my apartment.

That looks like it would dry up some vages.
