Couple of questions for the sim racers

[Rob P]

After a 3 year holiday I'm finally fed up with console racing, ordered myself one of these http://www.chillblast.com/Chillblast-Fusion-Rapier...

I'm planning on getting rFactor installed (purchased it years ago) and doing a trial of iRacing.

Questions:

Is a wheel with a clutch worth it? In the past I've had two pedal set ups. Just wondering if a G25/G27 is worth it.

Those who have tried rFactor2 beta, I've read it's hard on systems and frame rates are lower, do you think my system will cope?

Any good mods to suggest for rFactor? Back in the day I had PCC, Lupo Cup, Historic saloons and the Megane from memory. Any other good ones to look out for?

If money isn't an issue I would get the Logitech G27. You should also get GT legends and GTR2, They share the engine with rFactor, but have more polish.

From memory the Caterham mod was brilliant on rFactor, R500s around the ring

Thanks. I've got GT Legends already, need to look into getting round the Starforce driver on windows 7.

If money really isn't an issue forget Logitech and get either a Fanatec set up or the Thrustmaster 500 thingy (Gran Turismo 5 wheel). I'm haven't had a huge experience in sim racing but I would definately say iRacing is one of the best, rFactor 2 looks pretty good though. Also you may want to check out C.A.R.S alot of talk about it, whether it's going to be right up there with iRacing or a complete flop, but i they send out demos every month or so to show you progress and allow you guys to comment back for improvements. Hope that helps.
