Should we have a sim racing omnibus thread?

Wonder how much they'll charge for this bad boy. Their F1 wheel is already going for $1,800, I'm guessing this'll be closer to 3k?

Well that’s an industry first.

Either way, whatever the price may be it’ll be the cheapest real-life wheel available anywhere!

Look at what is coming to AMS2 before the end of the year

If you don't already own this game I suggest you think seriously about getting it.

Bryan @ Monza in another SRO E-Sports America race

Spoiler:

Got that podium finally. Had some time to prep for this one. I worked hard on the setup, found some things and felt good about it. But qualifying pace was way off the others even though I was only 0.150 off my all time PB. I felt like I had good race pace but was constantly stuck behind slower or battling cars. I was down on top speed to the others in spite of maximizing the setup for top end speed, and I was basically a sitting duck on the straights and I couldn't overtake. Seems the GT-R may have become even less competitive with the latest updates. I'll keep digging.

You were too fast in it.

As everyone around you crumbled, you held fast! Monza leads to craziness and that race was no exception.

Hopefully they give you a BOP boost, let Godzilla actually have a chance to eat again.

Not gonna happen. It's a legacy car and the manufacturer is no longer a partner of the series. Can't have it winning all the time.

I jumped in the Merc for a half hour to satisfy my curiosity the other day. The default Aggressive setup has quite a bit of mid-corner understeer, I made it a little better and got down to a time about 1 tenth off my PB in the GT-R (and faster than I qualified for the above race). If I spent hours on the Mercedes optimizing it and optimizing my driving for it, there are at least 3 tenths in there, maybe a half second. This result doesn't surprise me though.

Just curious, the organisers have been keeping all pro drivers in their real-life cars. What happens with you if the Nismo is grandfathered out and you can't drive it anymore?
