Well as you asked...
I built it - Pics of build are somewhere on GFY in a thread I made at the time, got the 'X-Box pass for PC' for £1, and tried a wide variety of games. Of all the games I played, Forza Horizons 4 seeed to draw me in, and I decided I quite liked driving... So then I tried DiRT Rally 2.0 and kinda got addicted, which lead to me getting a G920 Wheel Pedals and Shifter, along with a X-Rocker racing stand. Got really into DR2 on a serious level, as well as enjoying Project Cars 2, RaceRoom and Wreckfest... Realising I was ready to take the driving to the next level, I decided to upgrade to a full 80/20 rig with car seat, and get a direct drive wheel, heusinkveld pedals, Fanatec Shifter and brake and a triple monitor setup. The whole 9 yards - Go big or go home...
But the Covid came along and everything went to shit - No stock, huge increases and silly delivery times - Example. I wanted a valve index system. Basically the best VR headset on the market at a prosumer level. But they don't have the stock, its 8 to 10 weeks wait from when you order it, and when they send it, it's another month to arrive...
So Ive just thought fuck it - I'll stick with what I have atm, and take my sim racing to the next level in 2021 and do it right first time with a motion platform too
